As I was out handpicking my beads in New York, I came across these glass beads. So unique and different, something I have never seen. Each bead has a coppery/bronze outline with a double sided triangle center filled with an amethyst color. It adds such a unique touch to any outfit you want to wear. I decided to create a pendant necklace with these beads and as I took my new piece out for a test drive last week, it was such a hit and received many compliments. Now, reassured of the design and look, it is here for you to own while supplies last.

Another weekend is upon us ladies, but that doesn't mean we have to opt for the sweats to feel comfortable. Try an outfit like this one to give you that relaxed and easy look yet effortless chic in the same time.

New Handmade Creation: Red Calcite Natural Gemstone Statement Necklace
I was trying a new technique for this week's creation only to realize I don't have all the necessary materials. Very disappointing.

This new natural red calcite gemstone necklace is very heavy in statement making with 3 large gemstones hanging from these lightweight gold chains to give off that glam factor. What do you think? Do you see yourself wearing this?

How Do I preserve My Jewelry?
One of the most common questions I get asked is how to care and preserve fashion jewelry. Whether it is fashion jewelry or pure gold, jewelry care follows many of the same rules.
