I admit I didn’t give any previews for what’s coming up this year,
but honestly I made several pairs of earrings before Christmas. I’m only going
to release them one at a time though so I don’t run out of things to present. I
also got lots of new supplies to make earrings with, so the journey continues.
I had two thoughts for this month; one was to try something different.
Fortunately my birthday is this month (Friday to be precise) and a lot of other people I know have birthdays this month as well
so I started thinking about birthstones. I looked at my supplier’s website and
found Garnets reasonably priced, I can’t say the same for other birthstones though.
The second idea came to me while I was trying to go to sleep one
night. I drew it on my phone. Unfortunately once I made them I deleted the drawing.
I think it looks rather pretty, even elegant. It features two 6mm
garnet beads and one 6mm Chambala bead all hanging from a silver plated chain.
The total length of the earring is 3 inches.
Any of the garnet earrings can be made in most birthstones. Here’s
the complicated part – there are at least four different classifications of
birthstones. I can get most from my supplier but there are a few (Diamond,
Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire) that they do not supply or what they supply is
actually glass and not rock or mineral. I have provided a chart and crossed out
any that I cannot (or will not) supply. Only the best for my customers! No
imitation stones here! Also some stones may be more expensive than garnet so if you
order another stone I will quote you a price specific for your earrings before
purchasing so there is no mix up. Colors: Jasper (leopard skin) Topaz (yellow/orange)
£8.00 including shipping to the UK. $9.85 including shipping to the US.
