Wedding season is coming!
That’s true of course. But also true is that sparkling crystal jewelry is always in fashion. It always looks great. It goes with almost everything. And crystal jewelry makes wonderful gifts. So, you knew all that already.
But the “goes with everything” and “makes great gifts” is something to keep in mind. If you want to make a pair of earrings or a pendant or bracelet for your favorite customer, or for your college roomie, or for yourself… you KNOW that crystal is going to look great.
Do it yourself jewelry. Save money. Make personal gifts for your friends. This is a win!
P.S. Click on the pic above to see even more crystals available in my shop right now. And just a note – I’m going to try some new bridal designs in the next weeks. Stay tuned (and tell me what you think!)
Sapphire glass and sparkling crystal earrings in a slender, wearable two-jewel setting…You can get fancy, you can get complex – but this simple setting really makes a fabulous pair of earrings!
Really I just think it’s a good idea to point out that you don’t have to spend a lot of time or money to have pretty jewelry. Of course you can – and I’m not talking just about precious gems. There are intricate, complex designs that can produce fabulous pretties.
But you don’t have to. Be easy on yourself sometimes. Find a pretty jewel, or a pretty combo like these in one setting. Figure out the colors you want. Add earwires. Done.
And they’ll be great. It really can be that simple. (And hey, click on the pic to see more combos that are ready in my shop – and remember you can ask to see others!)
You know that diamonds are the birthstone for April, right? Well if you’re not in the market for gem grade diamonds (I’m not), there’s a beautiful alternative. Clear crystal jewels – faceted, cut rhinestones – are a wonderful, affordable April birthstone.
Click on the pic to see more clear crystal rhinestones I have available right now – there are many more shapes and sizes available. These sparkling glass gemstones are great for your April birthday girls – and of course for your wedding. And anytime, for a pretty pair of earrings or necklace for anybody that likes sparkle!
Oh, did I mention? These are also on sale right now. Buy one, get one free! A BOGO sale good through Friday, March 19, 2021. When you buy a pair of clear crystal gems, you get a second pair free (and you can dicker if you want a different style, equal or lesser value, but still!) Same thing with pendants. Buy one, get one free. Just mention this blog post!
These buff (smooth) fuschia pink earring jewels are vintage, from the 1950s I think! They look pretty fabulous for their age.
Actually they look pretty wonderful for any age. It’s a good color – flattering, and easy for most people to wear. And these vintage gems make super easy do it yourself earrings. You can fancy them up, and add several elements – but they look great “as is”. Add earwires and you’re good to go!
Click on the link to see these, and more, fuschia glass jewels. And make yourself an easy, affordable gift. Just for you. It’s good to do that sometimes!
This picture shows a sparkling crystal necklace – and a super useful DIY necklace design!
Of course, you can just click on the pic to find these jewels – and more crystals, more styles, and more colors – in my shop. This design is made with three sizes of crystal rhinestone (glass) jewels – shown here are 8mm rounds with rivoli faceting, 10x10mm diamond shapes, and a pear or teardrop focal centerpiece that measures 18x13mm. This would be a wonderful necklace for prom – and (I know you’ve thought of this already) a beautiful bridal necklace. Wedding jewels? Yes!
Run with the idea – using the shapes that work best for you, and a different color – or combination of colors – that could be so much fun!
And as always, if there’s a color or shape you’re searching for and not finding – just ask. I might have it – or I’ll help!
Another pretty, sparkly do it yourself earring design idea:
Click on the pic to find these jewels in my shop – and more, of course 🙂 These aqua glass connectors and montana sapphire diamond shaped glass gems aren’t the two colors you might think to combine first. But – as you can see, they’re terrific together!
Of course you can choose your own coordinating colors (and shapes). I do have these diamond shaped jewels in sheer amethyst, and a few in emerald green – and may have more in future. It’s such a cool shape!
And if there’s something you don’t see – and you need? Just ask!
These sapphire blue pears are now available in a new medium size – they’re 14mm x 10mm, approx. 5/8″ x 3/8″. It’s a terrific size when you want earrings that are a bit more petite – but still have a great presence. And these new, smaller rounded gems are lovely paired with these teardrops.
And yes, they’re on sale right now. If you buy the 14x10mm pears, send me a note and I’ll include the rounds for free! This is just through Monday, January 4, 2021 (and while supplies last). So don’t wait too long!
And did you notice – “2021”. That’s another reason to celebrate, yknow?
Let’s have a happy new year!

Yes, red is a Christmas color. That’s one of the reasons we’re looking specially at red teardrop jewels right now. But red’s gorgeous year-round and flattering to most people – that’s another (good) reason to keep it in mind.
