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!
I just wanted to show off a few of the vivid, beautifully faceted glass jewels I have available in in my shop right now. Of course there are many, many more available to match just the color and shape you like best – but this is a start!
These are just some (great) examples of the jewels that you can use in wonderful combinations. But the really wonderful part is that each pair is fabulous *on its own*. Add earwires, link with jump rings to make bracelets, or slip onto a simple chain for what could be your favorite necklace!
Of course that’s the beauty of DIY jewelry: you can make exactly what you want, and you don’t have to spend a whole lot of time (or money!) to get fabulous jewelry!
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!
I know, “diamond” isn’t exactly a color! But diamonds are the birthstone for April. And diamonds are fabulous of course. But hey, sometimes (lots of times) our budgets don’t necessarily include expensive gemstones. So – faceted glass “diamonds”, right?
The pic here shows just some of the faceted crystal “diamond” stones available in my shop right now. I’m probably biased, but I think these are beautiful. Since I’m not rich – I definitely prefer faceted glass “gemstones”. I think a lot of us feel that way!
And just to make these even more attractive – right now these are on sale! Buy one, get one free – one pair, or one pendant… all you have to do when you order, is tell me what freebie you want! This offer is only until Friday, March 14, 2025, and limited to supplies I have on hand – so you probably don’t want to wait.
P.S. You might want to keep in mind that crystal diamonds are fabulous for bridal and wedding jewelry. But you already thought of that!
These settings have two glass gems – the octagons are 10x8mm, and the small round stones are about 4mm. The total length of the settings is just 18mm, or 3/4″. Not huge – they’re almost delicate. But they have a lot of sparkle in spite of being small – and are especially wonderful for earrings.
What’s even better about these multi-stone settings is that you pick the color of the tiny round stone. So you can customize these! Chooes your bridesmaid colors, or your daughter’s birthstone and favorite color. Or, well, you get the idea!
And if you click on the pic above you’ll see more color combos I have in this style – and actually there are some I haven’t listed yet. So if there’s a particular color octagon you’re looking for and don’t see it, drop me a note and ask, I probably have some!
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!
Okay, I’m not doing Christmas colors anymore. One, it’s a nice change from what we see a lot of right now. And two, there may or may not be time to get your jewelry supplies, make a jewelry gift (it’ll be gorgeous of course) – and then send it to your giftee. In theory that can totally happen: but the post office is way overburdened and sometimes things arrive more slowly than they should. So I’m not showing red and green jewels. I’m showing Black. (And of course you can find more shapes and sizes at my shop.)
Because: Black is always in style. Black jewelry, black outfits, black shoes, black accessories…are always going to be useful. When in doubt you can always wear black. The faceted black jewels shown here, just as examples, would make a fabulous pair of earrings and matching pendant. You’ll think of other ideas of course, with these and other black glass jewels.
Black always looks good.
I wanted to show off another example of glass gems available in my Etsy shop that make fabulous jewelry – without having to do a lot of work, or spend a lot of money!
These vintage glass jewels are the color known as “montana sapphire”, or navy blue slightly brightened. Add earwires and you have a gorgeous pair of earrings. Slip them on a chain as a pendant and your necklace is ready to wear.
See what I mean? Easy to make and use. And today through Monday, September 15, 2024, when you buy one pair, you get one pair free! Be sure to mention this blog post to get your free pair.
Only while supplies last… so you might not want to wait!
The emerald green faceted glass pears are shown here in two-jewel prong settings. Shown exactly “as is”, these are lovely earring jewels (or a slender pendant). This style is a favorite in my shop – this is a classic, feminine style. And these jewels have another special feature!
Aside from being pretty, and (with emerald teardrops) the birthstone color for May – you can choose the color of the tiny round stones at the top of the setting. These are customizeable!
So you can combine the birthstone colors of your kids. Or your favorite green-and-(fill in the blank)color. You decide – which is the way it should be, with do it yourself jewelry!
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!
