Neutral black diamond glass gems shine!

Lately I’ve been focusing on vivid glass gems – yes they’re beautiful. But I wanted to show an example of a completely neutral stone – in this case, black diamond or gray glass gems – and point out that they are fabulous in your DIY jewelry.


You see what I mean? These black diamond glass ovals are mid-size at 12x10mm (about a half inch high) – paired here with silver plated chain. And they totally work to make great earrings!

Orange and aqua glass gems

I just wanted to show an example of unusual(ish) color combinations – and show how good they look together! Case in point, the orange octagons I mentioned recently are paired here with deep aqua blue cushion cut glass octagons.


Let me know what you think – even those these aren’t “typical”, I think they work well! And just to show off my new stones, from today through midnight on Thursday, October 16, 2025, if you buy any of the orange stones in my shop, you get a second item or pair free. Just mention this blog post when you order!

Orange glass stones – new color!

The color on these glass gems, new in my jewelry supplies shop, is just so fun!

I mean, it’s vivid, it’s actually quite a lovely color, but it’s also just makes me smile. Orange is just not a Serious Color. It’s full of life and sometimes craziness and yes, I’m attributing a lot to a color. But – bright and vivid and fun!

I have another shape or two to list, but meantime take a peek at these – and just FYI, from today through Friday, October 10, 2025, if you buy any orange glass stones in my ship you get a second pair free. Just mention this blog post after you order!
