Fuschia glass gems for your DIY jewelry

Vivid color is always fun to work with – and to wear! Case in point, I wanted to highlight some fuschia stones in my shop right now 🙂


Of course this pic shows only two of the gorgeous stones I have in fuschia pink – but just as an example, look how well these two shapes would pair up to make pendants or dangling earrings!

And you know what I like to do sometimes – if you decided to order these two shapes (yes they’re sold separately) – you get to pick another pair of stones for yourself, as a freebie. Doesn’t matter what color or shape – you get a freebie. After you order the two stones shown in this pic, just send me a note to let me know what you want for free!

This offer is only good through midnight on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 – so don’t wait too long. And remember to have fun!

Sapphire sheer glass gems for your DIY jewelry

I wanted to show off some new pics of sapphire sheer glass gems I have in my shop right now. They’re some of my favorites! And hey, customer favorites too. And you know as well as I do that blue is a color that looks great all year round. Just saying!


The beautiful thing about these sapphire stones (well aside from the fact that they really are lovely!) is that you can use them “as is” and have great DIY jewelry. Yes they’re terrific combined with other colors and shapes and I’m going to highlight a few of those coming up soon. But used alone, as pendants or earring components, they’re still fabulous!

And from today through midnight on Wednesday, June 18, when you buy any of the sapphire glass jewels in my shop (a pendant or a pair) you get one free. Just mention this blog post after you order – and let me know what freebie you want!

Faceted Glass Cushion Cut Octagons

Cushion cut octagons are super popular glass jewel shapes in my shop. Partly I think because they are a moderately sized glass gem, 12mm x 12mm, about one half inch. Large enough to be seen, but still lightweight. Plus, they tend to be nicely faceted. For that relatively small size glass gem, you get some sparkle!


And I have a lot of colors in this popular stone. The pic above shows a few of them – click on the image to see more! They’re great for medium-size pendants, connector links, and of course earrings – used “as is” or in combination with other stones and beads.

Have fun creating!

DIY Earrings with Two Glass Stones – Customize these!

These earring drops are one of the most popular styles in my shop. Partly because they’re a lovely graceful shape, partly because they have enough presence to be sparkly and noticeable – without being heavy. Hey, comfort is important!


And of course, partly because these are customizable! Not only are the main teardrops available in many colors, but because you choose the color of the tiny round stone. Match the teardrop – or find a contrasting color. Match your birthstone – or the birthstone of your giftee. Or just play with colors!

And from now through midnight on Friday, June 12, you can buy one pair in this style – and get a second pair free! You just have to purchase your one pair, and then send me a note to let me know what color(s) you want for your freebie.

Now that’s a special deal!
