You know that the Pantone Color of the Year for 2017 is Greenery, right? Now honestly, I have to say I kind of get a laugh out of the Color of the Year thing. So far I’ve heard “Greenery” also called avocado green (remember the appliances of the 70s?), and a few other color names that I won’t repeat here. My point is, “olive green”, “olivine”, “avocado”, and some other color names I can’t remember right now, all refer to a slightly tangy, plant-like green. Pantone just has a Marketing Name for it.
But hey, I’ll go with it. “Greenery” is my Deal of the Day” code word today. Mention “Greenery” after you order – in the Notes to Seller – and you’ll receive a FREE pair of green OVAL glass jewels, you choose the exact pair, sent with your order.
Such a deal 🙂
Think pink – and that’s your Deal of the Day special code: pink. I know, it’s not a “Christmas color”, but think about it. It’s feminine, it’s pretty, it looks good all year round, and it’s flattering to every skin tone. Pink. It works 🙂
So – the Deal of the Day – if you mention Pink in the “notes to seller” after you order from my online jewelry supplies shop, you get a free pink pair of 10mm rivoli jewels!
And you can dicker if you really do prefer a different color.
Win!
Deal of the Day for December 6, 2016 –
Order three pairs of these pretty teardrop beads (in crystal as shown, or any of the 26mm x 13mm two-jewel teardrops in my Etsy shop) – and when you order, mention WEDDINGS in a note to seller. You’ll get a fourth pair, free 🙂
One day only – such a deal!
P.S. You can order more than three pairs if you want 😉
And the word is TEARDROP. Just for fun, I paired two different sizes of pear or teardrop-shaped framed glass beads. Add a jump ring linking the two sizes, and you’ve got a fab pair of earrings.
So for today – mention Teardrop *when you order*, and you get a pair of 14x10mm teardrops for free! Choose a color from my online shop 🙂 Offer is good for one day only, so now is the time!
The Deal of the Day at my Etsy jewelry supplies shop changes frequently – I aim to change it every single day but sometimes there’s a bit of delay. But still. Specials, discounts, coupons – they saves you money – that’s always fun!
You’ll find it here on my blog, or check out my Vintage Glass Jewels Facebook page – I usually talk about my Deal of the Day there, too. For today, the Secret Code Word is EMERALD (and no you don’t have to use all caps!)
Mention EMERALD with any order – and get a FREE pair of 10x8mm octagon jewels. You get to thoose the color from any in-stock items.
This will only be good for a day (till midnight tomorrow, 12/3/16). Come back to see more Deals!
You remember when I said (okay, more than once) that simple is sometimes best? Take a look at this pretty octagon jewel, just as an example 🙂
These are vintage pendants and I only have a few – but even new ones are good, I’m not biased toward vintage (much).
This is what “I need it now” DIY jewelry is about, you know? You have a simple silver or golden chain. Find a jewel like this, attach a jump ring, and slip it on the chain. Presto: gorgeous pendant in a wonderful color. It doesn’t get much easier.
And it will look great. Seriously 🙂
I don’t even have to explain why I’m featuring these. Just look. Faceted red glass jewels. Sheer and vivid. Gorgeous.
Slip on a jump ring, add a chain. Instant fabulous necklace. Or add earwires: you’re done. They’ll be smashing with your new dress, for Christmas, or with your jeans. That’s the kind of jewelry you want (or want to sell!) Classy, vivid, easy, affordable.
DIY? Oh yeah.
And sometimes, simple will do. Sometimes simple is BEST. For example, an opaque, round glass stud earring. Classic and easy to wear.
You know there are times when you want something a little…quieter. Work, church, visiting the in-laws… and these glass cabs are available in so many colors, you can get just what you want. If you don’t see your color, just ask!
I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this – a customer asked me to put together this combination of glass jewels and I think they are so cool!
It’s a little late to order them for Halloween this year – but hey, they’d be fun anytime. But I’ll def. remember this for next year – orange and black, black and orange, because Halloween is maybe the most fun holiday all year!
Happy Halloween to you guys 🙂
Here’s a pretty example of how you can combine a sparkling glass bead or jewel with a silver plated “ornament” (filigree, stamping, or charm) and make a fabulous pair of earrings – with very little effort!
The silver filigrees are actually silver plated over brass – it’s good quality plating but much more affordable than solid sterling silver – and the style is modern and chic. The earring jewels are about 5/8″ high (the earrings are a bit under 2″ long, in total) – they’ve got a lot of presence but are still very lightweight and comfy (I’m very fond of comfy).
The components are available in my jewelry supplies shop but if you don’t see them, just send me a note and ask!
Affordable, pretty, sparkling – and did I mention easy to use? This is the way it’s supposed to be. Do it yourself – save money – and look great 🙂
