Peridot green is a favorite Spring color – and I have (knock wood) a good supply my shop right now. The earring style shown here is a great example of how to easily use these lovely stones!
I linked the peridot gaceted glass cushion cut octagon to a silver plated cable chain with a sturdy jump ring. The earring is pretty, it’s lightweight (hey comfort is important), and the chain adds movement (and more sparkle as the light hits the stone). It really can be that easy!
And yes, that’s one of the great things about DIY jewelry. You make just what you want – and you don’t have to spend a lot of money!
These sheer, garnet red faceted glass gems make a wonderful pendant and earring jewels set… So if you were planning to make a jewelry set as a gift for someone special, you might keep these in mind!
These are not the only garnet glass gems I have available in my shop right now – click through to see more sizes and shapes. But these lovely faceted glass teardrops are so easy to use. Just add a simple necklace chain to the larger 25x18mm pendant, and earwires to the smaller 18x13mm pears, and your jewelry is ready to wear!
This makes a lovely jewelry set for a gift – or of course for yourself. Just saying!
P.S. Garnet is the birthstone color for January – just in case that’s helpful to know!
May is only a few weeks away – and emerald green, that rich, gorgeous color, is the birthstone color for May. So I wanted to show off the pear shaped teardrops I have right now! Of course those aren’t the only emerald glass stones I have in my shop but they really are fabulous (and so easy to use!)
These earring and pendant jewels are probably the most requested size jewels in my shop. The 18x13mm teardrops are perfect for earrings (just add earwires!) And the larger, 25x18mm pendant jewel, is fabulous on a simple chain.
Of course you can add components to make these more complex and lovely – but for easy to use, lovely, and affordable glass jewels, these are absolute champs!
Yes, I’m having a year-end sale! Or Beginning of 2025 Sale. Whatever works, yknow? For this particular sale, every item in my shop is on sale! The pic shown here features just a few of the new and vintage glass gems and other jewelry supplies that are on sale 🙂
How does it work, you ask? (I know you did!) Order any three items – and get another one for free. Equal or lesser value, that’s the one rule. But other than that? You choose. When you order – three items, remember – just let me know what you want for free. Order six items (of one listing, or six different ones, or two items from three listings, or however it adds up to six items) and you get two items for free.
And yes, if you order 30 items, you get 10 items free. Don’t wait, this is only through midnight on Wednesday, January 1, 2025 (that sounds so cool!)
Yes I’ll be having more super sales. But this is a good start!
I love sparkly earrings and think these emerald green and crystal earrings are gorgeous! Of course you could adapt this idea using your own stones and jewels. And your favorite colors – or, your customer’s favorite colors when you make a special pair for her!
And because we all love special deals – from today through Sunday, December 8, 2024, when you buy any emerald glass jewels in my shop, you get a second pair free! Or if you prefer a 25mm pendant, you get another one free. Just until supplies last of course (but I just got in some more so we’re good) – all you have to do is mention this blog post, and tell me which freebie you want!
I love lariat necklaces. They always fit! When you’re making a gift for your BFF, or making items for sale – it’s nice to not have to worry about “will it fit”. That’s a detail your customers will appreciate! And the design can be worn with many different necklines. It’s so versatile!
Use multiple color stones, or just focus on one color. You set the rules, you know? This sample has a peridot green faceted teardrop that measures 25mm x 18mm (that’s about one inch long). The sheer zircon teardrop is a bit smaller. They complement each other beautifully, don’t you think?
And just to make this idea even sweeter – from today through Monday, November 18, 2024, when you buy one set of pear stones in my shop, you get a second pair free! Or when you buy one 25mm pendant, you get another one free. You just mention this blog post, and let me know which freebie you want!
The crystal AB glass jewels I have in my shop are among the most popular stones I have available. The pics here show a bit of the reason! The beautiful faceting – and the colors!
And they are on sale! Buy any two (pairs or pendants) and receive a third item for FREE. While supplies last – so you might not want to wait!
Just mention this blog post when you order. From today through Sunday, September 25, 20024, you can buy-two-get-one-free. Send me a note after you order – and let me know what freebie you choose!
I think you’ll love these amethyst glass jewels, available now in my shop. These are a great example of jewels that work – beautifully – and you don’t have to a lot of fussy work. Hey, that’s where inspiration comes from!
The faceted glass pendant is 25mm x 18mm – that’s approximately one inch high. Used alone, it’s a fabulous pendant. It also works beautifully when combined with other beads and jewels. And the small octagons also shown here, are perfect for earrings – whether used “as is”, or linked to other stones.
These illustrate beautifully that you can use simple jewels and create lovely, meaningful jewelry: but you can also add your own creative touches and make these designs yours.
I was getting low on the red glass gems in my shop – in these shapes, I mean – they are among the most popular shapes and sizes. Just got a resupply!
The round glass stones are 10mm in diameter – that’s approximately 3/8″. They’re great for small(ish) earrings “as is” – but they pair wonderfully with so many other shapes! For instance the octagons shown here. Which, just for the record, is probably the first or second most popular shape glass stone in my shop. They’re super for pendants, connectors, and earrings. So useful!
If you make jewelry, and especially if you buy supplies online, like so many of us do – I’m sure you’ve noticed that red glass gems can vary a lot in tone, from deep red (almost burgundy) to the bright red in these jewels. Both colors popular and useful. But I love the clear vivid red in these stones. I think you’ll will too!
P.S. And if you’re thinking ahead – do I need to mention Christmas? Yeah, you thought of that already!
This was a good day! Don’t laugh, I was able to resupply one of the customer faves in my shop – and these stones are genuine vintage, I don’t take that for granted! Not sure how old they are but the packaging they came in has the phone number of the company in New York which originally imported them – from Czechoslovakia, I think.
The phone number does not have an area code. The U.S. adopted area codes in the early 1950s. These stones are true vintage 😉
Plus I love the combination of the deeper fuschia pink and the sparkling faceted crystal. Easy to create – and of course adopt to your own style. I think you’ll love them!
