Blue zircon glass gems – close to teal blue in color – are a customer favorite. Here are three sizes of blue zircon glass octagons I have available right now:  This is a gorgeous color that works all year round. These gems are wonderful for pendants and earrings – also glass connectors. You’ll love them! Yesterday I mentioned the sale I’m having right now for any blue glass jewels in my shop. I just wanted to show you a few more shapes that are still available 🙂  Yes, it’s still a “Buy one get one free” sale. Order any one pair, or pendant – and you can get another pair or pendant, for free. Just remember to mention this blog post in the Notes to Seller when you order. That’s all you have to do for your freebie! This offer is good through Tuesday, April 12, 2022, and is limited to supplies on hand. Have fun shopping! Just wanted to announce that right now, the blue glass gems in my shop are on sale! Earring jewels, pendants, glass connectors… check them out!  Blue is gorgeous, whether it’s ocean blue, deep midnight navy, sapphire, aqua, teal… you name it. And I’m celebrating the color this week. If it’s blue, and in my shop? It’s on sale. Buy one – one pair, or one pendant – and you can get another pair or pendant, for free. All you have to do is mention this blog post in the Notes to Seller when you order, and mention you want your freebie. That’s it! This offer is good through Tuesday, April 12, 2022, and is limited to supplies on hand. You might not want to wait! P.S. I’m going to post some more pics to show you what’s on sale – so check back soon 😉 I’ve used this necklace design in the past – but I don’t think I ever described what I think is a very important design element. The pendant is removeable!  imagine using other colors or shapes, just for example… So. With this particular pendant, you have a red-and-silver necklace, featuring an oval pendant on multiple layers of chain. But you could also remove the pendant, and have a silver multi-chain necklace that’ll go with half the outfits in your closet. The extra cool idea is that you could buy – or create – other pendants to slip on the chain. Presto – multiple necklaces! Now that’s a win 😉 Just one more post about aqua glass gems – I thought I would show how these aqua octagon gems available in my shop  The mannequin used in these pics is close to life size – so you can get an idea of scale. And I think this pic illustrates wonderfully, how great the glass gems are when used “as is”. You don’t need to do a lot of fussy work. This doesn’t have to be a time-consuming stressful operation. Choose your glass gems, add earwires, and Presto! Gorgeous earrings. I thought I would show here, a few of the aqua glass gems available in my shop. Why now? Because the birthstone color for March is aquamarine. And aqua is beautiful all year round, of course 🙂  And – they’re on sale 🙂 From now through midnight on Monday, February 7, 2022, when you buy any aqua glass stones (jewels, beads or gems) in my shop, you can get a second pair free. Or a second pendant. You name it – you buy one, you get one free. You have to ask though – just send me a note when you order, remind me of the sale I’m mentioning here, and I’ll send your freebies! Aqua birthstone color. Faceted jewels on sale. This is a win! I put these earrings together using components I had on my worktable – and I’m really loving them! The shapes are similar – but that third glass jewel takes it to another level with a slightly larger size. And the colors are kind of what this is all about 😉  Of course this picture just illustrates an idea. Find the colors you like best, or personalize them using colors your customer requests – either way, you’ll make the design your own! I thought it might be handy to post the birthstone colors for each month of the year – this pic is the first one, to show birthstones from January through April:  Right now it’s a little late for January birthstone gifts, since this is the last day of January 2022 (how is that possible!) – but it’s always good to know what colors are on point. And February, March and April birthstones are good to know about too. Come back soon to see birthstone colors for the rest of the year! I deliberately made a point to show different colors here, of the amethyst purple beads and jewels in my glass gem collection. (And actually there are more!) Amethyst purple jewels can be sheer with no foil back, they can be a lighter warmer purple, or deep rich dark purple. And this is only a partial sample of the different amethyst colors you can find in glass gems.  Of course you can find closely-matching colors – if you click on the pic you’ll see many examles. But sometimes it’s more fun to use various shades of one color, or one color family. That way you don’t have to worry if your earrings aren’t exactly the same shade as your skirt. That’s kind of the point. Colors can look great – and they don’t have to match! I wanted to show another earring design featuring aqua glass jewels – this time with another color added. This is just a small but deliberate way to show that we don’t have to limit ourselves using color! This idea shows small(ish) glass gems, so these earrings would be super lightweight and comfortable. The colors are strong enough to be a great element, and the faceting adds quiet sparkle. Sometimes that’s just what we want our jewelry to do!  And, of course, this is more a suggestion than a specific. Explore your own color choices, and try different combinations of jewel shapes. Add round beads, octagons, you name it. That’s the fun of do it yourself jewelry – you can take this idea and make it your own! |
