Emerald green is the May birthstone color. This is a good reason to be shopping for emerald glass gems. But even more? Emerald is so flattering!
Some greens can be, let’s say challenging. Loden green, olivine, lime green, all have undertones that are sometimes difficult for some people to love. But emerald? Is one of the easiest colors to wear. It’s flattering to pale skin, to dark skin, to redheads, to gray hair, to… well you name it. It’s rich and wearable and flattering.
And a customer favorite. Check out the gems I have available right now (click on the pic above). And if there’s a shape you’re looking for and don’t see? Send me a note – I might have some stashed!
Okay, first off, correction – the floral centerpiece in this necklace design idea is not silver – not sterling, I mean. It’s silver color – plated over brass I think. It’s pretty – not precious. And that’s just fine. Good design doesn’t have to be priceless!
In this design, I’ve linked the floral centerpiece with faceted black diamond glass gems.
Truly, the idea here is to prompt all of us to play with the stones and charms we have, or can find easily that don’t cost a fortune. We’re not talking costly gemstones here. We’re talking fun, pretty trinkiets that you can wear every day, just because you like them.
You don’t need to spend a fortune. Find what you like, or make it. Have fun with it. That’s kinda that point, you know?
Crystal earrings are always a great choice! The sparkle is flattering. The color goes with everything. And of course, for prom, or weddings, or any special occasion – crystal always works!
With this pair of earrings, I used 12x12mm (1/2″) cushion cut octagons – that’s a classic octagon shape with rounded corners, paired with 18x13mm ovals. These are well facected – and large enough to give great sparkle, without being too heavy.
Link them with sturdy jump rings, add earwires, and your jewelry is ready to wear!
I just wanted to share one more pic of some of the “blue glass gems” I have on sale right now. Yes, these are part of my “Buy one get one free” sale that runs through day after tomorrow.
And all you have to do is 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.

P.S. If any of these jewels is gone from my shop, send me a note – I might have some left and haven’t had a chance to relist. Can’t hurt to ask!
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!

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
look when worn as earrings 🙂
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!
