I am having a major Clearance Sale! Starting with these gorgeous multi-stone pendant or earring jewels, available in even more colors than shown here, and great for making jewelry for yourself and for gifts 🙂
I have several colors of those striking opaque glass gems – see the listings above. I don’t have them all listed yet – if there’s a color you like but don’t see, just ask!
These multi stone glass gems are perfect “as is” for earrings, are lovely pendants, and (just saying) would make lovely Christmas gifts. I think you’ll love them!
P.S. And seriously – check back, because I am going to be listing more jewelry making supplies on sale. For real 🙂
Peridot is the birthstone (color) for August, so I was playing with jewelry design ideas featuring peridot crystal gems that I have. Once I pulled out these two elements – the peridot crystal pendant, and the golden brass flower connector link – the combination seemed irresistible 🙂
Use a golden chain, with or without a connecting jump ring – and you’ll have an easy-but-gorgeous necklace!
Hint: mom would love this. Or your bestie. Or maybe you should keep it, just to, you know, field test the design 🙂
It’s so easy to say “in these troubled times, take a few moments to make something pretty for a loved one – or yourself”. But I think it’s good advice. You don’t want to worry about anything complicated, or expensive. But it’s a treat to make something as a gift – you know how good that feels to give a gift 🙂
And it feels nice to have a pretty new trinket to wear, too. Even if it’s just for yourself, in quarantine.
Take care, and have a little fun!
You’ve probably noticed by now that I really believe in cute earrings that are also easy to make, and don’t cost a fortune. Nobody should have to work that hard to have pretty jewelry – and most of us get a little ‘lift’ from having new pretties. It doesn’t fix the world but it’s a tiny nice perk 🙂
Like this earring design idea:
It’s an easy idea to use – and adapt with your own components. Though of course I’d be happy to send you some 😉
These are specially nice because they have movement and color (you can choose the color of course!) – but they’re lightweight and not too big (sometimes we want delicate!) And I have similar charms in silver plated brass. So – golden or silver (color), you can do this!
Of course you know why I thought of Christmas when I made these earrings – hey, they’re red and green and sparkly. But honestly, they would look good anytime. And (also of course) you could use any color combination.
I am really fond of these. Partly because they have sparkly color that really shows up, but the jewels are small – so these would be really comfortable to wear all day long. And, the silver plated chains add such movement! That’s one of those classic design elements that I really love – with a minimum amount of work, the chains add a lot of style. It’s just a bit of extra fun, you know?
Really – take this idea and make it yours. And, or, maybe some Christmas earring gifts! Just because 🙂
Like a lot of us – most of us I hope – I’m staying home right now, finding things to do around the house, keeping my online business going even if times are weird, and sometimes playing with pretty sparkies in my workshop. There is no deep significance, it’s just that sometimes a pretty little bauble can lift the spirits, and I can rationalize it by saying “it’s business”.
Well it is, but it’s also that I like making pretties, and trying new combinations. You know how that is 🙂
I tried out this new combination for earrings and I think they’re lovely!
I really like the combination of the vintage peridot crystal teardrops and peach rivoli faceted round gems – and of course the design could be adapted to all sorts of color combos.
You see what I mean, though. It doesn’t have to be fussy or difficult to make pretty earrings! Or expensive either. It’s just a way to make a little treat for a friend, or for yourself, in these difficult times.
Stay safe!
Aqua and aquamarine – you know they’re the birthstone color for March, right? It’s also worth noting that aqua is one of the most universally flattering colors. From light aqua to deeper turquoise, almost everyone can wear it. If you’re born under the zodiac sign Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 19, i think? correct me if I’m wrong!) – aqua is also your zodiac color.
So if you’re wanting to give (or make!) a gift for your favorite Pisces, or your bff, or your girlfriend, or your mom – or even you – aqua is a wonderful choice! And also, as you can see here, it’s beautiful!
And from today through March 1, 2020 (at midnight) they’re also on sale! Buy one pair and get the second pair (or pendant) free. The only catch is “equal or lesser value” – and while quantities last, so don’t wait too long.
Enjoy – make pretty gifts – or pamper yourself. It’s a sale after all!
I was looking at these gorgeous navy blue (montana sapphire) jewels last night, and my girlfriend mentioned that her mom just loved navy blue. Well, I thought, these would make a great jewelry set for her. Me and my girlfriend worked that out (she’ll dog sit one afternoon, and she got the pretty jewels plus findings and chain. A win-win!)
Anyway, that just got me thinking…Mother’s Day is a couple months off. No rush, right? But hey, maybe you’re making a lot of gifts anyway – or maybe you make jewelry to sell. Mother’s Day is a day to remember! And Moms like lots of different colors. Like these gorgeous montana sapphire stones!
The earring beads come in one-ring, two-ring, or no-ring settings (as shown) so you can make exactly the style you like best. And your mom? She’ll love them!
Yes, I’m doing a BOGO sale – buy one, get one free! Just for the fun of it. And yes, it introduces me to new customers, and that’s a win/win for both of us 🙂 So – here we go – you’re going to love this! From today through Sunday, December 1, 2019, when you buy any
blue jewels in my shop – you get a second pair free!
This applies to pendants too of course! If it’s any shade of blue, you can buy one, get one free. For all these, the only proviso is the “equal or lesser value” thing – but that’s it. Buy one, get one free. Good through Sunday Dec. 1. This is great for holiday gift ideas – and holiday jewelry for you, too!
I meant to update the bracelet idea I mentioned back in September – showing the clear crystal glass gems in silver settings. It’s not surprising that these clear gems adopt the color of the settings – but still seeing it is pretty cool. If you like silver, this style will totally work for you!
And I’ve started a new sale so you can get these adorable cushion cut octagons at an even better price! Just mention this blog post when you buy – and for every pair you buy, you get a pair free! Buy two pairs – get two pairs free. That’s enough to make the bracelet as shown 🙂 (and if you want more for earrings, or a necklace… well, you get the idea!)
Buy one – get one free!
That offer is good till October 30 (at midnight, the witching hour) – so don’t wait too long!
