This necklace makes me think of little twin stars! I have always loved hearts and stars, so it was only a matter of time before I started incorporating these symbols into my jewelry designs.

This necklace is made with sterling silver wire, pale pink star beads with a lovely aurora borealis finish on one side, and accented with little transparent lime green glass toho beads with ab finish also. It has a lovely plump blue hand blown glass lampwork heart pendant, and is just adorable. It measures just about 15.5 inches.

This necklace is handmade in New Orleans, USA.

Here is a pair of beautiful chandelier earrings made with silver plated hearts and hooks, and delicate sterling silver wire dangles with crystals. I used triple hearts in this design, and 4mm Swarovski crystal beads in shades of amethyst and fuschia. These lovely sparkling earrings measure just under 3 inches with the silver plated, lever back hooks so they do not get lost.

Today we bring you a lovely pair of earrings from Feathered Friends Mementos!

I have always loved peacock feathers myself. The lovely shimmer in the feathers and the dark green colors are so pretty. When I was young, my mother used to take me to the Arboretum of Los Angeles County and they have lots of peacocks running around there! I used to want to chase them and snatch their feathers (Mom said no!) but when I witnessed a male peacock displaying his tail feathers for the first time I quickly realized they are not pets! They are so regal and love to show off their lovely feathers. My Grandmother used to have peacock feathers all over her home too, and I have always been fond of them and their beauty.

So here is a lovely pair of earrings made with real peacock feathers which you can purchase at the Feathered Friends Mementos etsy shop.

I have been thinking about getting another platinum diamond ring.

I already have a lovely princess cut diamond ring:

I love flowers, especially pink roses. They smell so good and are so beautiful in the summer. I took this picture myself, of this lovely cotton candy pink rose…

The petals on this rose were so full and heavy, it was almost falling over with the wind. There have been lots of roses in bloom this year, and I love to take pictures of them before they expire… Read the rest of this entry »

I am in love with this yellow diamond ring. It has white gold and white diamonds accenting. I think it would look absolutely gorgeous with a black evening gown, and simple diamond earrings to match. Imagine a yellow diamond pendant to match? ::sigh:: The ring can be yours for a mere $22,000.00 But hey, it is a one of a kind and definitely an investment also!

I absolutely adore Swarovski Crystal. The sparkle and shine, the gorgeous colors they come in, and the beautiful finishes you can get like aurora borealis are just amazing! I love swarovski crystal beads, and the jewelry made from them.

When I was a little girl, I had a large 25mm faceted crystal drop I would wear around my neck. I still have it til this day, but its all scratched and broken where the hole was drilled for the bail. I will probably find myself another on ebay one day! I own lots of swarovski crystal bead jewelry, and love making jewelry with their gorgeous beads and findings.

here is a picture of some rose, fuschia, peridot, emerald, and zircon blue Swarovski Crystal beads… Read the rest of this entry »
