Archive - April 2008 Jewelry-Making Treasures From the Gem Faire...Posted Apr-27-08 22:41:09 PDT Updated May-07-08 15:53:33 PDT The Gem Faire was in town this weekend. I love going to the Gem Faire...so many beautiful jewelry-making materials. I browsed for five hours! I was beat, but I picked up some lovely Lapis, many different colors of Pearls (I love pearls), Fire Agate, Rhodochrosite, Chalcedony, Rose Quartz, and Volcano Cherry Quartz. I can't wait to get started on some pieces I have designed in my head. I have already created one Lapis Necklace, with removable Pendant, and Earrings in Silver (already sold). You can wear this necklace two different ways...with the pendent on the clasp in front (as shown), or you can remove the pendant and wear the necklace in the regular fashion with the clasp in the back. The wire wrap on the pendant matches the design on the clasp. The necklace also has matching earrings.

I Love Pearls!Posted Apr-10-08 00:25:30 PDT Updated Apr-10-08 00:41:41 PDT If you are a fellow jewelry artist, we all have favorite materials we like to work with. I Love Creating Beautiful Jewelry with Pearls! Pearls are yet another one of nature's most amazing creations. Their luminescence is unmistakable and they almost glow-in-the-dark with pale pink, rose, and blue shimmers. I created a white pearl strand necklace for my 16 year-old daughter and she wears them quite often. I purchased really nice pearls for her necklace with beautiful luster and she gets compliments on them all the time. Pearls are so feminine and have an old-world-charm and beauty about them. Listed below are a few pearl necklaces and matching earrings that I've made recently. I hope you Enjoy!

I would love to hear from my viewers to find out what you think about my jewelry collection and handcrafted pieces! Diamond Lovers!Posted Apr-01-08 14:34:32 PDT Updated Apr-02-08 11:14:34 PDT For those of you who love diamonds, I have listed some lovely yellow diamond stud earrings, and gorgeous rings with diamonds. These beauties are set in 14kt Yellow Gold and weigh .40/ctw and measure 4mm across. These are not just 'dots' on your ears, you'll see these sparklers from a distance.
Some other items with clear, sparking diamonds include a one-of-a-kind 12mm Black Tahitian Pearl Pendant set in 18kt White Gold and Sparking Diamonds. I've never seen this setting anywhere else...you won't see your jewelry coming-and-going on the street with this unique piece.
.12/ctw of Sparkling Diamonds This gorgeous Tahitian Pearl Pendant has a drop of 1-1/4" and is a Real Eye Catcher! I didn't leave out you gents either! Take a look at this 1.0/ctw Gents Diamond Ring in 10kt White Gold. With today's gold prices the gold alone is worth the price I'm asking! I bought this piece a while ago when the gold prices were more 'reasonable'?
These Diamonds are White, Clean and Sparkling! I'd love to hear what you think!...
