Peach is such a pretty color – it looks good year round of course, but I’m having those spring thoughts again. Bet you are too 🙂  Peach also has the advantage of being flattering to almost every skin tone. Petite teardrops, pretty color, flattering shade, available in both golden and silver settings…and oh, did we mention affordable? That helps too. You guys stay warm! And think spring. Couldn’t hurt. Might help 😉 It’s just funny, ths little differences in colors – even with jewels from the same vendor and with the same name. Look at these pretty Light Colorado Topaz glass jewels, all in my Etsy shop right now.  You can see that they’re all the “same color”. But there are definitely differences, in light or dark-ness, in color intensity, sometimes beige-r, sometimes almost gold…. it’s just one of the little quirks of the jewelry trade. Keeps things fun 🙂 I was playing with colors again – spring colors, this time. The snow outside my door might have had something to do with that – it’s not even Christmas yet and I’m thinking about spring. But hey, the colors are pretty!  The pic just shows a few examples of how to make pretty earrings (or pendants) – easy to do and they really are lovely. Complex, intricate designs are great of course – but when you want to make something now – and have it ready tonight? This is the way to go! So – spring colors. And Merry Christmas thoughts, too 🙂 I love this rich, deep smoky topaz – this oval pendant feels very luxe – and the earring jewels are adorable. No,k they’re not an exact match – but beautifully coordinated? Oh yes.  These jewels are a great example of – when you’ve got something classy and fabulous, you don’t need fussy, you don’t need a lot of *stuff*. They work on their own. Add a jump ring and chain to that pendant, and your necklace is ready – and gorgeous. Add earwires and your coordinating earrings are ready to wear. When you’re in a hurry (and we all know what that’s like) something you can use *now* – and it looks great – and it’s affordable – That’s a win 🙂 These pretty little heart beads or jewels are just the color of orissa garnets…. so pretty, so unusual and hard to find!  They’re absolutely perfect for petite earrings (they’re only about 3/8″ high). Great for a romantic touch to add to your business outfit. Or just because you want to remember the romance in your life. Or just because 😉 These are just so cute! New in my shop. You choose the color of the tiny rhinestones. And look at how pretty!  You can get these with one ring – add earwires and you’ve got a charming pair of earrings! Or use the two-ring connector settings as shown, and combine with all kinds of pretties…jonquil teardrops. Orange cabochons. Amethyst rondelles. You name it. If you love color, you’re going to have so much fun with these! I’m all for easy, pretty, affordable – like this set of sheer sapphire glass teardrop pendant and earring jewels:  A gorgeous color, and easy to use earring and pendant jewels. I think people really appreciate this today – when everybody is pressed for time, and most of us don’t have a lot of money – but still want quality. These are just what they’re supposed to be – no fakey stuff – pretty glass jewels. A great jewelry set. And available in my Etsy shop. Well yeah, I’m supposed to say that 😉 (And if you need other colors? just ask. That’s a hint) Because these glass jewels are beautiful – and easy to use – they appeal even to people who don’t have the patience for fussy detail work. And who like sparkly, feminine, classic jewelry.  Because sometimes you want to get something gorgeous – and you haven’t got much time. Grab this set of pink teardrop jewels. Add earwires: voila, you have pretty and feminine earrings. Get a silver chain, slip a jump ring and clasp on. Your necklace is simple – classic – gorgeous. You could wear it tomorrow with your new black tee and black jeans: instant work appropriate – and girly. You could wear it for your wedding. You could give it to your bride. *This* is the nice thing about DIY – without spending a lot of money ($6.99 for the set!) and with only a few minutes work, you just made something pretty and useful. And it’s done. And it’s easy. These peach “cushion cut” octagon glass jewels are new in my shop – and they are getting some wonderful attention. Girly? yes. Wearable? yes. And, well, they’re gorgeous.  This faceted octagon cut just looks classy, whenever I see it – and I’ve been seeing it a lot of places. It’s a wonderful bridal jewel, it’s beautiful for party jewelry, and it’s also wearable for work – it’s not huge and dangling. It’s just a pretty, sparkly gem – okay, glass gem – that’s perfect for DIY earrings. Or gifts, of course 😉 This pretty teardrop style is very popular in my Etsy shop right now. They’re about 1″ long – big enough to have real presence but not super heavy – and they have lovely sparkle. And a little extra something…  These are just some of the colors that are available – and the really fun part is that you can choose the color of those tiny rhinestones at the top. I show crystal (sparkly clear ones) mostly here – but you’ve got lots of choices, and there’s a drop-down menu on each listing so you can specify what color you want. It’s a great way to tailor your jewelry to truly match your outfit – or maybe your bridesmaid dresses 😉 |
