The “topaz teardrops” in the title are actually the color known as “light colorado topaz” – it’s a gentle golden tan. I just wanted to show another example of how well these brass filigree flowers work, when paired with rhinestone teardrops, to make a fabulous pair of earrings!
These would totally work year-round. Imagine with your fave swimsuit! Or on New Year’s Eve. Or anywhere in between.
Easy to make – just add jump rings and earwires. Or make them more intricate in your own special design. This is the way DIY jewelry is supposed to work: simple to create, affordable – and beautiful 🙂
Okay, I should correct that – it’s December birthstone *color* glass jewels that are on sale. I don’t have any precious tanzanite or zircon in my shop – but I’ve got some wonderful blue zircon, aqua, and turquoise glass cabochons and jewels available. They’re lovely, and affordable, and they are now on a BOGO sale!
So for December 4, 2017, when you purchase any aqua or blue zircon glass jewels, you get a second pair of equal or lesser value free. And you choose that second pair 🙂
Wonderful for Christmas gifts – personalized jewelry for your customers – or a pretty pair of earrings for yourself. Just mention this BOGO offer when you order, and get your second pair of jewels free!
Rhinestone teardrop jewels, and brass filigree charms or connectors – these are two of the most popular jewelry components today. Combine them and you’ve got some lovely, easy to make, DIY jewelry 🙂
Take a look at this sample jewelry design idea:
Of course this basic idea can be adapted in all sorts of ways. Customize with birthstone color glass jewels (inexpensive but gorgeous!) Or change the filigree connectors for a different style or color. The thing is, you can make it totally your design – and still have easy to make, inexpensive DIY earrings or pendants.
Just in time for Christmas gifts!
There’s still time to get some pretty golden topaz rhinestones for your November birthday gifts (well if you’re in the U.S. anyway… it’d be a bit of a stretch for overseas). And using the birthstone color is a simple, pretty way to personalize your jewelry gifts!
Yes, it seems almost too good to be true – add leverbacks or french earwires and your DIY earrings are ready! (And if you need clip-on earring components just let me know, we can do that).
You can fuss some other time, and spend a lot more money. But you don’t need to. Make a pretty pendant necklace or personalized earrings for your gift-ee. She’ll love them 🙂
These beautiful glass jewels are vintage rhinestones I found a while back and was lucky enough to be able to restock – not always possible with true vintage. I love this sheer, clean color – peridot green without too much “lime” in the green – a super flattering shade and a customer favorite.
These are probably the most popular style jewel I have available – teardrops that are large enough to be fabulous for earrings or pendants – but not so big they’re too heavy. These are 18x13mm teardrops – that’s approx. 3/4″ x 1/2″.
And if you mention this post, you get a BOGO sale price – buy this pair and get a second pair free. (Note – you can choose another color for your second – free – pair of jewels, if you like. Equal or lesser value, you know the drill!) And this offer is good for a full week – November 12, 2017 through November 19, 2017! You might not want to wait – this special offer is only while supplies last. (As of this writing I still have almost 2 dozen pairs left.)
These make wonderful Christmas gifts – and if you need gift earrings for an August birthday girl, these are her birthstone color!
Really that’s all. That’s what I’m thinking about today. Life is a challenge for all of us these days (I suppose it always is, but it really feels like more right now, yknow?) So we need to enjoy the everyday things. Or the everyday Special things: like Halloween. We’ve got candy ready for the kids, we’ve got glow-in-the-dark bracelets, and a big ghost (and witch) out front. So – everybody – have a wonderful, safe, fun, yummy Halloween!
Oh sure, I have to post some pretty glass jewels. And these are orange and black, so they’re in the Halloween mood, right?
It’s a little late to purchase these jewels for Halloween… but you can always combine new colors – that’s always fun. Orange and green? Black and red? Red and green? (Think about Christmas – I know you are, already!)
Meanwhile – fun is what this whole day should be about. Enjoy!
Sometimes, this is what it’s all about. Lovely vintage glass, present rhinestone jewels in silver or brass settings. Yes, you can get them in two-ring connector or link settings, or “no-ring” settings so you can make button earrings. And those are great. But this style? Add earwires and you’re good to go.
The’re great for Christmas gifts – or parties. Or just because you like red 🙂
Yes, my blog is called Vintage Glass Jewels – I was so thrilled when I started finding true vintage beads and stones! But then I realized I couldn’t maintain a steady, reliable supply, not all the time – so I started buying classic-but-NEW rhinestones. And they’re gorgeous and I love them. So now it’s like a treat, when I can resupply my true vintage stones. Like these gorgeous amethyst glass oval jewels 🙂
Aren’t they terrific? For brides and bridesmaids – for Christmas gifts – for yourself. They’re faceted oval rhinestones, and so easy to use! And for just one day they’re my BOGO Deal of the Day. Buy one pair, get another pair free – or choose any other jewels from my Weekend Jewelry online jewelry suppliies shop (equal or lesser value) – and yes, that second pair is free. Just for one day, October 25, 2017.
No rain checks – it’s just While supplies last!
A customer recently requested this unusual combination of colors – and I hope my pics have conveyed a little bit of the beauty, because they looked fabulous together! Vivid red and orange (hyacinth orange, to use the exact rhinestone name) aren’t usually used together, so that’s fine. But sometimes we like doing the unexpected, you know what I mean?
Of course what’s wonderful about these “multi stone” or “duo” settings is that you can choose the colors you like best. Tiny crystal rhinestones are gorgeous with the red teardrops. Or use emerald green and get ready for Christmas 🙂
“Choose your color” is the theme here. Just don’t worry about trying new combos!
Because vitrail or rainbow glass gems are BEAUTIFUL, and I got a good deal this time (hope I can next time too, but no promises!) So: a new Deal of the Day, Buy One Get One Free (equal or lesser value and all that):
For October 12, 2017, all day, one day only, no rain checks (etc etc, you know the drill) – buy any vitrail jewels and get another pendant or pair free, equal or lesser value, you know how it is. Wonderful gifts for mom, DIY jewelry designs (add findings and you’re done) – you will love these!
