The World Could Use a Little Sparkle About Now

Let’s Create Some Sparkle!!!

Ever have one of those mornings when you really don’t look forward to getting up and doing the whole “life” thing? Or maybe about halfway through the day, you begin to think, today would have been a whole lot better if you had just stayed in bed? A day when you have no sparkle?

Well, we have the answer to your daily doldrums, and it comes in a particularly fetching shade of purple. A jewelry project named Amethyst Sky.

Just the name, Amethyst Sky, envisions technicolor sunbeams, bright, cheerful, 60’s style, family sitcom mornings (I know, everything was black and white in the ‘60s, but bear with me. We’re painting a picture here). Add in some romantic evenings with balmy breezes, perfect temperatures, and absolutely no insects, annoying cell phones, or crying children. An Amethyst Sky is bliss. It’s sparkle.

The new Amethyst Sky jewelry set is all about light and sparkle and happy, purple-ly thoughts. Anciently, amethyst was a stone of healing; physically and emotionally. It was a stone that enhanced daily energy and gave the wearer a greater sense of happiness and well being. 

Well, heaven knows, in these trying times we could all use a little energy and emotional well being. And it doesn’t hurt that this new jewelry looks spectacular.

Of course the jewelry features lots of real amethyst, but there are also plenty of amethyst colored crystals and some very special findings we selected specifically for this set. The clasp on the bracelet, in particular, stands out as a pretty little extra, adding to the entire piece.

The necklace has an amethyst pendant with a very simple wrap you should be able to conquer in just a few minutes. (We have a new YouTube video to walk you, step-by-step, through the making of the pendant). And with just a few more minutes of stringing you can complete the necklace, add the pendant, put it around your neck, and let those positive healing powers begin to do their work.

The bracelet has, along with the beautiful, previously mentioned, clasp has a unique, chevron amethyst central stone. It sparkles with every movement or change of lighting. It looks especially fantastic on moonlit nights.

The earrings continue the theme, framing your face in soft, amethyst light, with just the right amount of sparkle. (Have you noticed we use the word “sparkle” a lot in describing this set? It’s only because it is true.)

Give yourself a reason, and the energy, to get up in the morning. The world needs you out there, wearing your new Amethyst Sky jewelry, sharing your amazing new energy, happiness, and well being.

Wear a Little Red, White, & Blue this Holiday

Show your patriotism this next week with Special Holiday Jewelry that you make yourself.

We pulled out some of our brightest and best red, white, and blue glass pearls that look great with silver plated chains and wires. Your new jewelry will sparkle and shine all day, from the early morning flag raising, the pancake breakfast fund raiser and parades, through the family BBQ’s and picnics, and lasting on into the night until the last of the fireworks are just smoldering memories. Your jewelry will be there with you, a reminder of what a great place it is that we live.

We have 3 pairs of earrings, 2 pendants with necklace chains, 1 holiday necklace, and a bracelet, all in traditional red, white, and blue. These projects are all relatively easy to make and wear, requiring only basic wire wrapped loops, a little wire work, and the ability to open and close a few jump rings. If you feel like you need a refresher on any of these techniques, just drop up a line and we’ll send you some instructions. (Each kit also includes a printed instruction sheet which should get most of you through with no problems.)

We have some special holiday prices for all of you. Going clockwise, starting in the upper left corner:

Clicking on any of the above project descriptions will take you to its catalog and purchase page.

A Special Deal for the Holiday

Through the 4th of July, if you purchase any 5 of the individual projects, we will throw in the 6th kit for free. (Hint: the Swirly wire pendant is the most expensive kits and really, truly wants to be free, but, hey, this is America and you can order what ever you want, however you want.)

Get your orders in so you have plenty of time to finish your jewelry. But remember, this jewelry also looks great on other holidays, i.e., Memorial Day, Flag Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Bastille Day (just reverse the colors, or even Steve’s birthday. And any day is great when you just want the world to know where your heart is.

If You Are In Town

If you are local, we are opening the studio this Saturday, June 29th, from 10 am to 2 pm as a free day for those who would like to come on in and finish their holiday jewelry under our watchful eyes.
