Vintage Glass Jewels

New DIY Earring Design Idea

Last night I tried this combination of amethyst and emerald glass jewels – and discovered it was fabulous!

this isn’t a color combination you necessarily expect to see – which I think is one great reason to try it. Also – if I had a fabulous purple sweater, I’d definitely try it with dark green skirt or pants. They aren’t “matching” but they would complement each other. And it’s just fun to try new colors!

Like these. Really, aside from being a fun combo, it reminds us to TRY stuff. Can’t hurt. Might be great!

Crystal Glass Gems – on sale!

Crystal rhinestone gems are a jeweler’s secret weapon. When they’re well cut (and these are) they have a wonderful clarity and sparkle. They always look good. They are always in style. They make wonderful jewelry for brides – or for any special occasion. And for this week, in my shop they’re on sale!

Click on the pic to find more styles – the ones in the pic are a small sample of the styles I have available right now! For this sale, when you buy one pair (or pendant) – you get one free! Just let me know which freebie you want, when you order.

Remember, through midnight on Saturday, August 21, 2021, and only while supplies last – you buy one, get one free!

Peridot Glass Gems – BOGO sale!

And these are more peridot glass gems in my shop right now:

They’re also part of the BOGO (buy one get one free) sale through Saturday, August 14, 2021 – when you buy peridot glass gems from my Etsy shop, you can get a free pair or pendant. Send me a note to tell me which freebie you want (and click on the pic to find more styles available).

Just thought I’d show them off!

Peridot Glass Gems – great August gift ideas!

The birthstone gem for August is peridot. And it’s already August, so this idea is for those of us (yeah, I never do this) who need a nice birthday gift NOW. So – make a pretty pair of earrings or pendant. Peridot green, the August color. And they’re on sale in my shop!

For the next week – through Saturday, August 14, 2021 – when you buy peridot glass gems from my Etsy shop, you can get a free pair or pendant! Equal or lesser value is the only catch – and you have to mention this blog post (which is how you know about the sale!)

There are lots more peridot glass gems in my shop than are shown in this pic – just click on the pic to see more. And don’t wait, it’s only while my supplies last – and you’ve got that birthday girl to gift!

(Tell her I said happy birthday too. Just because!)

Black Glass Pendant and Earring Beads – on Sale!

Let’s try an actual list of positives here:

(1) Black goes with everything. Well, pretty much.

(2) Black is always in style. Again – pretty much (or always, I think I was right the first time).

(3) Fall is coming and darker colors work great in Fall.

(4) Not to mention if you make gifts, specially when you don’t know your giftee’s “favorite color” – black always works.

(5) Right now, these wonderful pendant and earring jewels are on sale!

It’s easy – buy that pendant anytime this week (through Saturday, July 31) – and you get the round earring jewels for free! The only catch is you have to mention this blog post. Easy peasy!

(Good while supplies last, this week only – you know the drill)

Peridot and Aqua DIY Earrings

This is just a quick note that, drum roll, color is wonderful! Use it. Try it. Play with it!

The earrings shown here combine three (slightly) different colors from peridot to light blue to aqua. Of course you could use any combination of colors – the point is, to try ideas. Some of them won’t work, but some of them will be wonderful!

Clear Glass Jewels – a BOGO sale

Yes I’m having another BOGO sale – it’s a special I like to run every so often, especially if I’ve gotten in a large packet of clear jewels. So – I can offer a great sale – and people can really see how pretty and sparkly clear gems can be!

So from today through next Sunday, July 18, when you buy a pair of clear glass gems (or a pendant) – you get one for free! Just mention this psot when you order, and tell me what you want your freebie to be. This is a win!

Peridot Green Pendant – Necklace Design Idea

This is one of my favorite necklace designs. Use whatever pendant you like best – in this case, it’s a sparkling peridot green pear.

So aside from the fact that it looks great, if you look closely you can see that the peridot teardrop hangs from a loop of silvery chain that matches the multiple strands of necklace chain (stainless steel chain in this case). And – the pendant is removeable! You could make several pendants of your choice, slip one off the necklace chain and replace it with the color you want to wear, today.

Oh, and the peridot shown here is the birthstone color for August. Just in case you need an August birthday gift!

Vintage amethyst glass jewels – on sale!

These gorgeous deep amethyst glass gems are vintage from the 1950s, I think – I’m using the paper they’re wrapped in as a reference (the paper has a New York phone number – and it *pre-dates* area codes!)

So aside from being true vintage, which is pretty wonderful – using stock that doesn’t have a new ecological footprint – they’re also gorgeous. Don’t you think?

amethyst 16x11mm octagons are vintage glass from the 1950s

And the sale I mentioned? From today through midnight on Saturday, July 10, 2021, when you buy a pair of these gorgeous octagons you can get one pair free. Or dicker for another pair of gems (equal or lesser value, you know how that works). Just make your order and send me a note to tell me what your free gems will be!

Make fabulous jewelry – and don’t spend a lot of money. Love it!
