Pink Rose Quartz and Black Gray Hematite Choker Silver Teen Student

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:00:54 -0500

$20.00
The metallic grey of non-magnetic hematite looks wonderful when paired with light pink small nugget chips of Rose Quartz off set with sparkling Swarovski Crystal bicones. Designed to lay close to the neck, this choker necklace contrasts the sleeky smooth round beads with the rugged chips, yet softens the transition with the crystals. Dark but still feminine, this necklace closes with a silvertone barrel clasp connector. I have this one at 15 inches, but if you want it longer just let me know when you make your payment (I can go to 18 inches for no additional charge).

Dark beauty with just the hint of pink - - with a bit of sparkling bling to make it stand out.

This ships in a gift box and a bubble wrap envelope to make sure it gets to you safely. It is priced to be student friendly because I know the Fall is when the big bills are due :)

Bracelet Diabetic Stretch Stretchy Elastic Pink Shell with Bali Sterling Silver Accent Beads

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:00:26 -0500

$18.00
If you are Diabetic, wear a pretty bracelet! Yes, you may not like the sterile look of the Official bracelets, but if you go down while taking a walk, who will know otherwise? This bracelet features pretty shiny pink shell flat beads and Bali Sterling spacers that highlight the white letters DIABETIC. Easy to slip on!

My (diabetic) neighbor coaxed me into making pretty stretchy Sterling Silver bracelets that she would wear when she walked her dog, just in case. This bracelet is really nice, with luminescent shells dyed pink accented with real Bali Sterling Silver.

This fits everyone (adult). It won't rub off or break since it is double knotted and glued and back strung. I can make these in any color or shape, just ask!

Thank you for looking :)

ASTHMA stretchy elastic bracelet for kids made to fit child wrist

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:00:26 -0500

$7.50
Pretty blue glass beads highlight letter beads that spell out ASTHMA, hoping to keep teachers and others aware that your child has Asthma. Meant to be worn with a necklace that EMTs are trained to look for, this bracelet is only to serve as a reminder for your child's caregivers that they need to remember your child has Asthma.

(My child has Asthma, and I know many kids with it. The problem is that the necklaces and bracelets that EMTs are trained to look for tend to be a bit ugly to a first grader or so. These bracelets are a training step for kids for accept the (to them) ugly necklace while sporting a pretty bracelet. It is not meant to be relied upon as a replacement for the items EMTs usually look for)

This bracelet is strung on stretch elastic, so it will very likely break eventually (we are talking KIDS here). Fortunately, it is not very expensive and you can either buy another or scoop up the beads and send them back to me for restringing one time.

This bracelet can also be made into one with a clasp, on stronger material (if your child can do clasps). I can make it in either silverplate or sterling or gold filled, if desired. Just convo me and we can discuss what you want and how much it will cost. I price Asthma bracelets low because I have an Asthma kid, too, so I understand.

$14.75
Ever want a pretty bookmark but worry that the center stones, while decorative, will press into your book and ruin the spine? This is a sleek black leather thong with a beautiful rectangle of brown and black striped sardonyx gemstone and a black agate barrel bead at either end to make an attractive and practical way to mark your page in a book. Just lay it across any page and it keeps your place while the stone beauties draw comments and compliments.

Length between stones: 10 inches (25 cm), long enough for most paperbacks, some journals and many hardbacks.

The top rectangle is magnificently marked with browns, cocoas and white lines. The black agate barrel actually has tints of red when held in the sun, but for most settings it appears totally black and offers a balancing shape and color for the more attention seeking sardonyx. Both stones are accented with copper spacer beads to add more dimension to the bookthong. Together, the stones blend nicely and add a colorful way to mark your place in your book. This is a wonderful gift that is perfect for any age or gender. Perhaps a friend, or a teenager, or maybe even for a favorite teacher this holiday season?

This bookmarker ships in a gift box so it will arrive to you safely and be ready to be presented to your favorite reader as an unusual yet practical gift. It is also the only one like it because the larger stone will never be duplicated as Mother Nature doesn't do repeats with this type of gem. Pop it away for your holiday needs today :)

The cord lays in the spine of your book while the stones dangle outside, a sure way to protect your book, keep your page *and* draw compliments in the process.

This piece is about 10 inches between the knots before the stones; it would fit most paperbacks, hardbacks, textbooks and some Family Bibles.

I ship my book marks in gift boxes to make sure they get to you safely and are ready to be given as a gift to any reader you know (maybe you?). Every bookmark is one of a kind in my shop and designed for people who LOVE to read and like fine unusual stones.

The Malachite beads used are VERY dark green with dark black striations but the swirls are very few, this is mostly a very dark vibrant green pair of earrings.

The look is finished with a bicone of flashy dazzling Swarovski Crystal with an Aurora Borealis finish that throws jets of colors whenever it catches sny light. Just a gorgeous pair of earrings in natural Malachite!

Bracelet Totally Tigers Eye Squares with Sterling Silver Safety Clasp

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:44:44 -0500

$36.00
8mm Cubes of glowing Tigers Eye and 6mm rounds are offset with Bali Sterling Silver Double Daisy spacer beads and Sterling Silver 4mm rounds to form a bracelet for the True Tigers Eye Lover out there. This bracelet is finished with a Sterling Silver Safety Latch for extra security. It measures just about 8 inches long (20.4 cm) but it will fit a wrist smaller than that (7 1/2 to 7 3/4).

(Bali Sterling Silver has a higher silver content than Sterling. Sterling is 92.5% pure silver while Bali is usually closer to 94%. All the Bali beads are handmade in Bali, so there may be slight variations from nead to bead. The Tigers Eye cubes are handcut (in India) so they will vary from each other as well. I picked the cubes off the strand that had the most chatoyancy - and the polich on these beads is better than many I have seen on cubes before. Very nice golden browns in these beads)

Tigers Eye in the office, out for lunch, at the Opera - - this bracelet can go anywhere.

Blue Tigers Eye Nugget Sterling Silver Earrings

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:41:21 -0500

$18.00
These are nuggets of faceted luminescent Blue Tigers Eye that are set on Sterling Silver ear wires. Simple, yet different, and Blue Tigers eye is not all that commonly seen these days.

These earrings appear dark blue until light strikes them - - and then the luminescence is visible. I prefer this stone alone, usually, because I like the way it suddenly catches attention when one's face tilts just the right way....

As always, the ear wires can be swapped out for posts, if preferred.

Approximately 1 inch in length off sterling silver hooks.

Turquoise colored ASTHMA Health Awareness Stretchy Bracelet for kids

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:30:31 -0500

$7.50
Pretty Bright Light Blue Turquoise colored dyed Howlite beads (6mm) highlight colorful plastic letter beads that spell out ASTHMA, hoping to keep teachers and others aware that your child has Asthma. Meant to be worn with a necklace that EMTs are trained to look for, this bracelet is only to serve as a reminder for your child's caregivers that they need to remember your child has Asthma. It is easy for caretakers and babysitters to forget...

(My child has Asthma, and I know many kids with it. The problem is that the necklaces and bracelets that EMTs are trained to look for tend to be a bit ugly to a first grader or so. These bracelets are a training step for kids for accept the (to them) ugly necklace while sporting a pretty bracelet. It is not meant to be relied upon as a replacement for the items EMTs usually look for)

This bracelet is strung on stretch elastic, so it will very likely break eventually (we are talking KIDS here). Fortunately, it is not very expensive and you can either buy another or scoop up the beads and send them back to me for restringing one time.

This bracelet can also be made into one with a clasp, on stronger material (if your child can do clasps). I can make it in either silverplate or sterling or gold filled, if desired. Just convo me and we can discuss what you want and how much it will cost. I price Asthma bracelets low because I have an Asthma kid, too, so I understand.

Stone Bookmark Tropical Agate Banded Sardonyx And Carnelian Natural Gemstone on Cord Book Thong

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:30:05 -0500

$16.00
Ever want a pretty bookmark but worry that the center stones, while decorative, will press into your book and ruin the spine? This is a simple thin cord with colorful Agate and Carnelian stones at either end to make an attractive and practical way to mark your page in a book.

I just love the color variations of Agates and Sardonyx. I handbored larger holes into a rectangle slab of banded Agate and matched it with a red Carnelian barrel to create a practical yet beautiful book thong. I added some silver plated Bali style accent beads to break up the eye line. These pretty Natural stones attract attention yet they are fairly durable and the right color combo to make a great gift for any reader of any age or gender.

The Tropical variety of Banded Agate is green and red and highly colorful, much like a modern art painting. The red Carnelian is deeply hued with the red orange coloring one expects from nice Carnelians. The bookmarker is about 10 inches long between the stones so it is large enough for most hardcovers, paperbacks, Bibles and even some magazines. The soft black cord lays in between the pages with the stones dangling outside the book so your pages are protected from crinkles and bumps.

The stone bookmark will ship in a padded bubblewrap envelope and a gift box so it will be ready to use or give as a gift immediately. If you would like this made into a longer Lariat style necklace instead, please convo me and I will re list it.

Thank you for visiting DesignedByLucinda, where it is all about the pretty stones...

Wine Charms Zuni Bear Gemstone 6 for Beverages Wine Glasses Drinks Sodas Markers Sterling Silver

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:30:05 -0500

$62.00
I love the styling of stones cut into bear shapes, Zuni style. The flat cut and shaping usually get the best out of stones, showing off the particularities that make the stones special. These bears make the perfect way to tag drinks so the owner's know which drink/glass/bottle is theirs.

This set features Bears in dark glossy Black Onyx, blue Sodalite, a pale green that is a New Jade, a dark red and black Brecciated Jasper, a bright light blue Turquoise (color enhanced and possibly dyed Howlite) and a pink Rose Quartz. They have been accented with Sterling Silver rounds and highlighted with sparkling Swarovski Crystal AB clear bicones. These charms certainly will get you compliments!

Each charm comes on a wire (not sterling) beverage ring. The charms measure (from the split ring down) 1 1/16 inches (2.9 cm). Any of the charms could easily be worn as a pendant (the attached split ring would make it easy to put on any cord or chain) but I thought it would be nice to offer an elegant way for people to entertain using sterling and stones as jewelry for their wine glasses, hence this offering as a package of 6.

The set will be shipped in a gift box for security and it is ready to give as a Hostess/Wedding gift or to keep for yourself. Care instructions will be included so the set will be a treasured handmade heirloom for many years to come. These are *not* dishwasher safe :)

You serve your guests good beverages in fine glassware. Add some finery to your table with this Zuni Style Semi Precious Stone Bear Charm set, in Sterling Silver with High Quality Swarovski Crystals.

These glass beads are so cheerful! They make perfect fun earrings, especially for the Winter season. This pair has been dressed up with Sterling Silver beads to make a fun and flirty accessory :) It is a bit longer than the other pair sporting the Peppermintos name.

These earrings are hung on Sterling Silver ear wires and hang 1 13/16 inches (4.6 cms) from the drop. They can be changed onto posts, if you request it in the Notes to the Seller section of the invoice for no additional charge. They will hang higher on posts, though.

Winter makes me think of Peppermints and eggnog (but I haven't found eggnog beads yet ;) )

This pair is strung on Sterling French Hook earwires and hang just under 1 1/2 inches (1 7/16) in length. In metric, they are 3.75 cm. They will ship in a bubble wrap envelope and a gift box to make sure they get to your home safely and are ready to be given as a gift.

Golden Brown Tigers Eye Faceted Cube Earrings AAA Plus Quality

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:28:25 -0500

$20.00
Gorgeous faceted round cubes of premium quality Tigers Eye are paired with Sterling Silver accents and topped with glowing Swarovski Crystal to make earrings that are top notch in style and versatility.

Shimmery golden brown Tiger Eye is faceted on all sides to bring out the chatoyance; dazzling Swarovski Crystals add sparkle while the Sterling Silver accent beads ensure that this pair of earrings last in value for you. This is a piece of jewelery that will never go out of style or clash with what you are wearing...

I have strung these on Sterling Silver French Hook wires because I prefered the sleek lines wires gave over posts; if you want posts, just say so on your invoice when you buy them and I will swap them out for you. This pair hangs 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) from the drop. They would hang shorter on sterling posts.

I ship in a bubblewrap envelope and a new gift box to make sure these arrive at your house safely and are ready to be presented as gift to that Tigers Eye lover you know (maybe yourself?)

Thank you for shopping at DesignedByLucinda where it is always about the stone :)

Carnelian Bookmarker BookThong Pendant Duo Readers Twofer

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:09:48 -0500

$20.00
Your choice - - Tell me to finish off the bookmark OR choose to detach the bottom dangle and get a Bookmark *AND* a Pendant instead!

This piece can go either way. You can choose to have these Carnelian beads made into a Bookmark of the size you specify (11 inches would be good for magazines, probably 10 for hardback books) OR you can have me separate them into a BOOKMARK *and* a separate pendant. In that case, I would just knot the bottom of the Bookmark to your size dimension.

The Carnelians are carefully chosen to compliment each other, and all findings are Sterling Silver or Bali Sterling Silver (better silver content than Sterling). The soft cord will not mar your book as the stones will lay outside of the page (only the cord lies in the book). Please see last picture for how to use this bookmark - - please note, that is not the same bookthong used, it is for illustration purpose only.

Super pretty bookthong - - OR pretty bookthong with an additional Pendant - - Your choice. Just let me know the size of the bookmark (inches or cms for what is inside the book) and if I am separating them into a Twofer in the Notes to the Seller section of the invoice.

Necklace Purple Banded Sardonyx Agate Adjustable Tie on Black Silk Cord

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:09:48 -0500

$24.00
Pretty necklace of banded striped purple agate disc shape on a tie-it-where-you-want-it adjustable black silk cord is perfect for beach and summer wear (or to add spice to the office). This rare flat coin bead of many shades of purple is highlighted with sterling silver and a Swarovski crystal AB bead and features a drop dangle bicone of shimmery crystal to hit where YOU want it. It can be a choker or 18 inches - - your choice. It will look great either way.

I designed this pendant to look equally fabulous on the black silk cord I provide or on any silver colored chain necklace. The cord is 20 inches long, more than enough length to make it fall where you prefer. If you would like me to switch this to a knotted tied adjustable silk cord of (max) 24 inches, just tell me in your notes when you check out. If you hate silk cords, I can use satin cord instead.

This color variety is a new stone treatment of banded Sardonyx Agate that is still pretty unknown and rare, so be the first to get a striped banded purple agate stone necklace to wear around your town. Just look at those swirls and the varying colors of purple with the blaze of white! Gorgeous!

This necklace ships first class in a bubble envelope and a gift box to make sure it gets to you safetly and is ready to give as a gift (perhaps to you?).

I love the look of Swarovski top quality crystals with real freshwater pearls!

Striped Sardonyx Bookmark Natural Stone with Sterling Accents Bookthong Bookmarker

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:08:49 -0500

$12.50
Ever want a pretty bookmark but worry that the center stones, while decorative, will press into your book and ruin the spine? This is a bookmarker made out of a soft black thin cord with colorful Sard Onyx stones at either end to make an attractive and practical way to mark your page in a book.

I just love the color variations of Sardonyx! These pretty Natural stones attract attention yet they are fairly durable and the right color combo to make a great gift for any reader of any age or gender. The combination of browns and blacks makes me think of coffee and toffee and fudge...

This particular book thong/ book marker is made with a flat oval shaped bead of Sardonyx and two rounded oval barrel shaped striped beads of Sardonyx. Both are striated with shades of brown and black banding with a good mix of white. They are much prettier than the photos show but do look at the photos as I have tried to show the backs and fronts and sides of these colorful stones :) The large oval25 x 18mm and the barrels are approx 17 x 12mm. They are on a soft thin black satin cord (so as not to mar the pages of your reading material) and it is accented with decorative Bali Sterling Silver beads. The cord lays inside the book while the stones dangle outside the book. This marker is 18 3/4 inches (47.3 cm) in length but only *13 1/2 * inches (34.2 cm) is available (recommended) as used inside the book. This length covers paperbacks, hard covers, the family Bible, most magazines. It is probably long enough even for a large dictionary. If there is a certain length you need, I am happy to take advance orders or shorten/lengthen this one :)

Each of these thongs are OOAK as the pattern can be duplicated but not the stones themselves; each stone is always different from each other. The stones you see in the photos are the ones used in this piece. Usually, I also hand file them to make the holes large enough for a cord to pass through.

Thanks for visiting my shop! This will ship in a box and a bubblewrap envelope to protect the stones in transit (and be ready for gifting to another, as well).

(I want to thank Oz for suggesting this idea to me. She rocks :) )

Earrings ship in a gift box to make sure they get to you safely.

Pendant Penguin Stone Brick Red Jasper Sterling Silver

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:03:21 -0500

$15.00
Rare animal shape. This carved Jasper Stone Penguin Pendant with Sterling Silver accents is a deep russet brick red color with black markings. I added a bicone of sparkling Aurora Borealis coated Swarovski Crystal at the top to add some dazzle, but the main attraction remains the bird. I love carved animal beads and when I saw this penguin, I had to buy the lot! Just too cute to pass by.

This is 1 3/4 inches ( 4.5 cm) in length from the sterling silver split ring to the bottom accent bead. This pendant will ship in a gift box to make sure it gets to your home safely (and is ready to be presented as a gift). If you want this on a chain, I have some available in my shop under the Upgrade section. I also have cords and silk adjustable necklace upgrades there, as well; just add an upgrade to buy one and I'll attach your pendant for you so you have a wearable necklace upon opening the box.

While this *could* be a cell phone charm, I strongy urge against it. The bead is pretty durable but it would be safest leaving this as a pendant (bopping against a cell phone probably wouldn't be good for it). I'd cry if this pretty stone got broken :)

Thank you for visiting DesignedByLucinda, where it is always about the fun stones I can find out there for you :)

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:03:21 -0500

$18.00
A colorful way to keep your eyeglasses or sunglasses around your neck and not lost in the back of the sofa cushion :)

8mm beads of Lapis Lazuli are accented with 6mm bicones of Swarovski Crystal and silvertone beads and then attached to a steel lightweight figaro chain. The top black tips at the ends are rubber and will grip any pair of glasses. This particular eyeglass necklace/holder is approx 30 inches (76 cm) in length from end to end, so it will comfortably fit a person of any size.

Eyeglass holders can be made to order - - Just tell me what stone or color and what length you'd prefer, and I would be happy to create one just for you. These are also available in gold tone chain.

More colors and stone varieties will be listed tonight and the next few days.

In this Economy, everyone is watching for value and I have paired quality real gemstones with sparkling Swarovski crystals to offer catchy cute earrings for less.

Flat Garnet Oval Gemstone Bracelet With Swarovski Crystal Bling January Birth Stone

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:02:25 -0500

$30.00
Garnet is a pretty gemstone that ranges from deep reds to pale reds to almost purplish hues. This bracelet features good quality flat oval shaped dark red Garnets that have been handcut (not by me) and polished into pretty uniform sized beads. There is sometimes a correlation between size and quality; the beads in this piece are small *but* a good quality with a dark rich clear color. If they were bigger, the bracelet would cost a lot more :)

The Natural Garnets are highlighted with 6 mm bicones of sparkling AB clear Swarovski Crystals. Some of the pictures capture just a bit of the dazzling sparkle Swarovski throws. On either end of each Crystal is a small Bali Sterling Silver spacing bead (Bali Sterling has a higher silver content than Sterling Silver) to add accent for the eyes. The Bali beads are handmade in Bali so there may be slight variations in the beads. Altogether, this bracelet looks classy and elegant and perfect for wearing with a dress or dressing up your favorite jeans and T shirt.

The bracelet is finished with a Sterling Silver lobster clasp, and a soldered closed Sterling jump ring (for extra security, so the ring doesn't suddenly open some day). It measures 7 5/8 inches (19.4 cms) in length so should fit most wrists. If you need this made smaller or larger, just let me know in the Notes to the Seller section of the invoice or via convo.

Garnet is the Birthstone for January. You could give this as a January birthday gift, but it might just be too hard to actually part with once you see it :)

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:02:25 -0500

$8.00
We all love our phones and this is a cute way to dress yours (or hers) up with Real stones and Crystals! Fun Phone Bling :)

A cute silvertone charm of two pigs holding hands dangles from a pretty light blue nugget of Turquoise Dyed Howlite * accented with 2 small Bali-style silvertone spacer beads to add some color and fun piggies to your cell phone or purse or anywhere else you can hang it. The entire charm is 2 inches (5.2 cm) in length (not counting the black cell phone leash which is standard size, but including the jump ring that attaches the charm to the leash). The coloring on the Dyed Howlite nugget is a breathtaking baby blue turquoise with dark lines - - very colorful- - while the pigs look like they are happily in love.

Dress up your phone (or your friend's phone) with a Stone and 2 Pigs charm. I can change the turquoise colored nugget for almost any other stone if you want a pig charm but with a different color accent /type of stone. Just ask - - no additional charge, and I have these nuggets in 40 varieties :)

You wear real Jewelry - - shouldn't your phone?

Thank you for visiting my shop! If you'd like this as a Pendant (on a piece of cotton soft cord) or would like to have a Cell Charm designed for you, please send me a conversation and I'll be happy to help you.

$18.00
This bracelet is a deep Hunter Green in color, using Mountain Jade (which is a dyed stone, but pretty). It has five Pewter Charms dangling off it, a humming bird, two fireflies and two butterflies. It is simple and cute and designed with a person 12-20 in mind although it is certainly relevant for people older than that :).

Necklace Two Tone Turquoise Blue with Swarovski Crystals in Sterling Silver

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:02:25 -0500

$52.00
Two shades of pretty light blue turquoise make this a bright splash of color! The 6 mm rounds are slightly darker than the bright blue cones that create the framing in the front. In between are dazzling 6mm bicones of flashy Aurora Borealis Swarovski Crystals hugging pretty dotted Bali Sterling Silver spacer beads. The effect is a stunning visual of sparkle and two tone BLUE. This necklace commands attention so it is not for the shy people out there :)

Necklace is 19 3/8 inches (48.45 cm) in length and is finished with a Sterling Silver lobster clasp and a soldered shut Sterling jump ring. It can be shortened or lengthened as desired but this is a good length for framing most peoples' faces while still being long enough to not be a choker. It will be mailed in a gift box for safekeeping so it will be ready to keep or give as a gift.

Just a fun to wear necklace in popular Turquoise colors.

Thanks for visiting my shop!

(Both of the stone sets are called Turquoise. One is dyed howlite and the other is a reconstituted Turquoise. They are lovely and *real* but a bit enhanced, as most Turquoise stones are these days. Stunning in person!)

I bought a bigger amount of these than I needed so I am offering them here to others as a supply or as an upgrade if you buy a pair of my goldfilled (or goldtoned/plated) earrings.

Lampwork Swarovski Necklace with 14 Kt Gold Fill on Sterling Silver Chain

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:25:05 -0500

$38.00
Cheerful bright cobalt blue lampwork bumpy bead with red dots anchors the pendant on this necklace with gold fill beads, sterling silver spacers and Swarovski crystals on an 18 inch sterlig chain. A drop dangle at the bottom of the pendant sways with each movement, throwing sparkle and glow as only Swarovski can. Beautiful and feminine, this delicate handmade piece is sure to delight!

Length of chain: 18 inches (if you prefer 16 inches, just let me know)

Length of pendant: including the split ring, it drops 2 inches (5 cm) so it is a long dangle. It is very subtle but the crystals are flashy, and it is sure to garner compliments. Please note the 3rd picture makes the beads look mis-aligned - - they aren't, but at that angle for the photo they sure look it. Please see the other photos :)

This necklace will ship in a gift box, ready to present as a gift to that special someone who will love this piece.

My own design, so enjoy it before others carry it as well. I like the way the gold fill beads add depth to this certain piece, and it nicely contrasts with the sterling silver everywhere else. The chain looks delicate but it strong enough to support this pendant (the weight is distributed); if you would like this pendant without the chain, please let me know and I will lower the price accordingly. I don't have many lampwork beads in this color (I think 1 more?) but I have a few othernecklaces that are similar in different colors I will be listing over the next week.

Thanks for shopping at DesignedByLucinda!

Necklace Lampwork Bumpy Light Blue Cobalt Sterling Silver Chain

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:28:43 -0500

$35.00
Super cute light blue bumpy lampwork glass bead with cobalt eyes, paired with sterling silver spacers and Swarovski crystals with a dangle drop crystal, form a gorgeous pendant necklace on a sterling silver chain. Just beautiful!

The lampwork bead is eyecatching while the swarovski crystals work their magic and throw dazzle everywhere. The bottom dangle bicone moves whenever you move. This piece absolutely sings...

Ready for jeans, a suit, a simple black dress or decked out for a Gala, this piece fits in everywhere. I have it paired with a 1.2 mm sterling silver cable chain - - don't go thinner - - and it is balanced because the weight of the pendant is distributed throughout the pendant. It is ultra feminine as it looks very fragile but is really quite strong and securely balanced...

This is part of my latest line of One of a Kind pieces; this is the one and only like it. it is sure to bring years of satisfaction and will fast become a favorite item in anyone's jewelry case.

Length of necklace: Sterling chain is 18 inches; if you'd prefer this as a 16 inch, just let me know when you check out in the notes area.

Length of pendant: Including the sterling split ring this hangs 1 and 13/16 inches (4.3 cm)

The necklace will be shipped in a gift box so it is ready to present as a gift.

Super pretty, super dazzle, super one of a kind :)

Lampwork Necklace 14kt Gold Fill Sterling Silver Chain Bumpy

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:45:04 -0500

$37.00
A lovely light purple-blue lampwork bead with lavendar bumpy swirls tipped with white and purple blue is joined with 14 kt gold fill, sterling silver spacer beads, Swarovski crystals and a dangling bicone of Swarovski to create a breathtaking pendant on a sterling silver chain. Mixing the gold fill with sterling absolutely works in this piece. The contrast is further reflected by the dazzling crystals that absorb the gold color to make their refracting lights even *more* beautiful than usual. That's a long way to say this is one heckuva pretty piece!

The pendant is delicate as is the 18 inch sterling silver chain I choose to pair with it. The chain is 1.2 mm wide - - don't use a chain smaller than this - - and it holds the pendant perfectly because the weight of the pendant is distributed evenly; part of the ultra femininity of this piece is that it looks so fragile but it is really very strong. The dangle end crystal moves freely as you move, so this necklace is one that shines, sparkles and dazzles. It works equally well at school, the office, at parties or even at the Opera. It is one of a kind by me so you won't see everyone wearing it all over town :)

In the photos, I noticed the one bottom edge looks like it isn't perfectly closed; that has been attended to (if you would like photo proof, just send me a conversation or an email and I will show you). I'll swap out the pictures after Thanksgiving and remove this para then :)

Length of necklace: 18 inches but if you'd prefer 16 I can switch it, just let me know at checkout.

Length of pendant: Including the split ring, 1 5/8 inches (4.1 cm)

The necklace will be carefully packed and shipped in a gift box so it is ready to be presented as a gift (or kept by you). If I can securely package it in a small earring box, it will come wrapped in an organza gift bag (but it might need the larger box, depending on how far it is being shipped, please let me know your preference if both are possible when you pay for your purchase).

I love this new line because it is *so* sparkly and yet so grounded - - and as always, you have a lifetime warranty. I have new items in other colors I will be listing over the next week or two; if there is a particular base color you'd like, just contact me and I will be sure to list it quickly.

Tiny Abalone Bird Blushing on Sterling Silver Chain

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:29:46 -0500

$30.00
Gorgeous abalone / paua shell carved bird with a drop dangle is on a delicate 1.2 mm sterling silver chain. Super romantic and feminine in a small package!

The good side of the Abalone bird is beautiful but it is the back side that is great! The bird has markings that make it look like it is blushing - it is unbelievable how perfectly this shell was cut to create a work of art within the work of art...

The two sides are *so* different, it almost looks like it could be two different necklaces. Two looks - - both stunning - - for whichever way fits your whimsy at the time.

The pendant is small ( including the split ring, it is 7/8 inch (2.3 cm) so it is very petite and dainty. It is hung on an 18 inch sterling cable chain but if you'd prefer this on a 16 inch one, just let me know.

I love birds and abalone - - I love the pinks and purples hues that glow from the abalone side - - but I have *never* seen a back side like this one before! On the off chance that you dislike the blush side, let me know and I'll make you one just like this but with typical abalone on both sides instead (cost for plain abalone bird without blush is $25).

This will be carefully packed and shipped in a gift box ready to present to someone who will appreciate this tiny beauty :0

Spectrolite Stone Heart Necklace Sterling Silver Chain

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:35:57 -0500

$36.00
Spectrolite is also known as Black Labradorite and Larkavite. This necklace features a carved heart accented with Swarovski Crystal and Sterling Silver on an 18 inch Sterling chain. It dazzles and sparkles!

I love the luminescence in this stone; it has a shimmery fire within that ripples blue and silver and purples when the light hits it. This necklace is hung on an 18 inch sterling 2.3 cable chain. I like the way it looks so delicate and feminine yet the rock itself is not a typical girly color. Spectrolite is the color of gray mixed with blue. In the pictures, everywhere you see the color blue is really the sheen of the luminescence inside.

Pendant length: 1 5/8 inches (4.2 cm) so a large size (bigger than a US quarter). Chain is 18 inches and 2.3 mm; I wouldn't recommend using a smaller size since the pendant could break a more delicate chain. If you want this is a pendant only, please let me know and I can reduce the price for you.

This will ship in a gift box and be ready to be presented as a gift to that special someone who would ove this beautiful Spectrolite necklace!

These are fabulous chunks of deep dark blue agate that are faceted to shine! The color is a very dark rich blue - - not black, but deep - - unless in the light and then they look a lighter blue. It is hard to describe how fabulous these look - - I included pictures that I hope will illustrate the color but if not, I would be happy to provide more photos upon request.

Bookmark Sardonyx Agate Gemstone Black Leather and Copper Accents

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:51:40 -0500

$15.00
Gorgeous beautifully marked dark shades of brown and black Sardonyx stone and black agate bookmark!

Ever want a pretty bookmark but worry that the center stones, while decorative, will press into your book and ruin the spine? This is a lovely leather cord with colorful Natural stones at either end to make an attractive and practical way to mark your page in a book.

This particular book thong/ book marker is made with a beautiful rectangle of gorgeously marked Sardonyx. I love this gemstone and the patterns in this particular one are fascinating. There are concentric v's - - look at the picture! The shades of brown range from deep cocoa and chocolate to burnt wood. I tried to focus more on capturing the beauty of the stone than on getting a sharp shot of the copper round accents beads; we all know what round copper looks like. But the striping on the rectangle is simply breathtaking. The bottom stone is a top quality black barrel bead of black agate. If you look at it through a light you can see a faint red hue in one area (it doesn't show very well in the photos). Together, they create a lovely quality gift piece that is one of a kind and perfect for any age or gender.

Length: 8 1/2 inches (21.5 cm) of inside the book space. This length covers paperbacks and small hardcovers and a large portion of journals. If there is a certain length you need, I am happy to take advance orders or change the length on this one :) Things like that are free of charge.

Each of these thongs are OOAK as the pattern can be duplicated but not the stones themselves; each stone is always different from each other. The book thong will ship in a gift box and a bubblewrap mailer to make sure it gets to you securely.

Everyone reads, and a natural stone bookmark is great for any age, gender or social connection. Give your self or someone else a unique and useful gift this year!

Stunning Dark Purple Amethyst and Sterling Silver Earrings on Leverbacks or Wires

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:59:41 -0500

$24.00
I love the deep rich purple color in these chunky nugget Amethyst stone beads, and I think they glow with the addition of the Bali Sterling Silver accent beads and quality Swarovski Crystal bicones. The total package is a richly elegant earring set that would look great at school, at the theatre or while watching TV with friends. These will certainly get you lots of compliments. I have these on sterling silver shell motif leverbacks but if you'd prefer a different backing, just let me know. If you want them switched to sterling earwires let me know in the notes to the seller section of the invoice and I will refund you $2 (leverbacks cost more than wires).

Length from drop of the wire: 1 7/8 inches (4.7 cm)

This will ship in a gift box and a bubble wrap envelope to make sure these beauties get to you safely and in one piece.

Bright Blue NUT ALLERGY stretchy bracelet for kids Health Alert Awareness Boys Girls

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:59:00 -0500

$7.50
This bracelet is made up of Bright Royal Blue Mountain Jade beads (6mm) and silverplated Round spacer beads. They highlight white plastic letter beads that spell out NUT ALLERGY, hoping to keep teachers and others aware that your child has Nut Allergies. Meant to be worn with a necklace that EMTs are trained to look for, this bracelet is only to serve as a reminder for your child's caregivers that they need to remember your child has Allergies to nuts. It is not meant to protect your child in any way if she/he has a Food Allergy, just to offer another way to remind people to Watch Your Child.

(My child has Asthma, and I know many kids with it. I also know many people with kids who have Food Allergies. The problem is that the necklaces and bracelets that EMTs are trained to look for tend to be a bit ugly to a first grader or so. These bracelets are a training step for kids for accept the (to them) ugly necklace while sporting a pretty bracelet. It is not meant to be relied upon as a replacement for the items EMTs usually look for)

This bracelet is strung on stretch elastic, so it will very likely break eventually (we are talking YOUNG KIDS here). Fortunately, it is not very expensive and you can either buy another or scoop up the beads and send them back to me for restringing one time.

Probably best for kids aged 3-8 or so (so long as they won't eat the beads, most likely NOT good for toddlers IMO)
Please let me know the age of the age when you purchase it - - a 3 year old has a different sized wrist than an 8 year old so I can adjust the size if needed.

This bracelet can also be made into one with a clasp, on stronger material (if your child can do clasps). I can make it in either silverplate or sterling or gold filled, if desired. Just convo me and we can discuss what you want and how much it will cost. I can use stones, crystals, glass beads - - whatever is in your imagination (or mine LOL) I can also make these in Adult sizes as well.

Thank you for looking! I will ship anywhere ;)

If you want a larger quantity than what I have listed just let me know and I will be happy to set up a listing in the quantity you desire.

**South Sea Shell Pearls are not *real* pearls - - they are carved from the shells of mollusks in the South Sea - - so they are shells that look and feel like pearls but they are a better value for your money. These beads are gorgeous and a lovely creamy glowing white. Also available in gold filled posts and in Sterling Silver.

Cell Phone Charm Turquoise Colored Zuni Bear with Swarovski Crystal Phone Bling

$8.50
We all love our phones and this is a cute way to dress yours (or hers) up with Real stones and Crystals! Fun Phone Bling :)

This charm features a 14mmx18mm Zuni style Bear cut from what was sold to me as Stabilized Turquoise but I am betting it is dyed Howlite. Either way, the bear is cute and a cheery bright light blue color. Adding some dazzle are two 4mm bicones of AB coated Clear Swarovski Crystal that sparkle everytime the charm is moved, throwing colors like wanna-be diamonds. Two Sterling Silver rounds (one 4mm, one 3mm) finish the design and it all is attached to a Sterling Silver jump ring, then attached to a standard Cell Phone leash that is a light blue color.

The charm, measuring from the jumpring down (not including the jump ring on the leash, or the leash itself), is 1 3/8 inches (3.3-ish cm) in length.

Dress up your phone (or your friend's phone) with a Zuni Style Bear and Crystal and Sterling Cell charm.

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:29:30 -0500

$20.00
A colorful way to keep your eyeglasses or sunglasses around your neck and not lost in the back of the sofa cushion :)

This particular eyeglass necklace/holder is approx 29 1/8 inches (73.7 cm) in length from end to end, so it will comfortably fit a person of any size.

Eyeglass holders can be made to order - - Just tell me what stone or color and what length you'd prefer, and I would be happy to create one just for you. These are also available in gold tone chain.

More colors and stone varieties will be listed tonight and the next few days. If you like this pattern but want a different accent color, just let me know and I will list it next!

Pretty Surfing Serpentine New Jade Stone Dolphin Pendant or Charm with Swarovski Crystals and Sterling Silver

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:28:46 -0500

$16.00
Pretty splashing Dolphin pendant carved out of light green Serpentine New Jade. Accented with a Bali Sterling Silver (higher silver content than regular sterling or .925 silver) spacer bead of 7 dots, and highlighted with two different sized bicones of Aurora Borealis (AB) coated clear Swarovski Crystal beads for extra dazzle.

Perfect for hanging on a ribbon, a cord, or on your favorite sterling chain (if you don't have one, I have some available in my shop). This probably would NOT be good as a cell phone charm or a gadget bling as the dolphin might break if it hits against a hard material (like a plastic case) all day. It would be better as a pendant or a zipper pull on a handbag (or decoration on a backpack) as that wouldn't have quite as much stress for the stone.

Length: approx 1 1/2 inches by 2 and some inches wide.

Super cute and light green, in a dolphin shape -- always in style.

Ships in a gift box within a bubblewrap envelope to make sure it gets to you securely.

Thanks for shopping my store :)

Necklace Raspberry Red Lampwork Romantic Victorian Dangle on Adjustable Black Silk Cord

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:28:15 -0500

$24.99
Beauty in glass. This pretty globe of raspberry red Lampwork Glass was matched up with tiny sparkling Swarovski Crystals, Bali style silver plated beads and suspended above a dangling orb of dazzling crystal to create a necklace that is romantic, simple and perfect for any occasion (without breaking the bank). The pendant is strung on black braided 100% natural silk cord that is adjustable so it can hang as low as a 24 inch necklace or ride high like a contemporary choker. Whatever your length preference, this necklace will accommodate.

I don't usually create pieces in just glass but these bumpy lovely lampwork beads drew me in. The bead used here with its red raspberry coloring and the delicate lattice markings struck me as particularly stunning. The end result is a chic, classy, elegant piece that can go from the beach to the bench or from school to the office with ease (and will still look great with either blue jeans or gowns). I will ship this necklace in a gift box and a bubblewrap envelope to make sure it gets to your home safely. Please handle it with care after receipt because it is glass and breakable - - if you bop it against the ground, the bumps may break off or the main bead may shatter and then we would both be sad.

Length of pendant drop: approx 1 1/2 inches
Length of necklace: between 24 inches and 12, adjustable with slip knots

Pretty and unusual, a one of a kind piece from DesignedByLucinda. This is the only lampwork bead I have in this coloring so don't wait! Once it is gone, it is gone and I can't get another.

Thanks for visiting my shop!

Necklace with Sterling Silver Swarovski Crystal Red as a July Tomato

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:27:43 -0500

$52.00
The color of this red is really that of a really ripe tomato in July. It is a red red red color and I have never seen anything quite like it!

8mm round beads of some type of Chalcedony were dyed this brilliant color (sometimes it is sold under the trade name of "Mountain Jade" or as a Fruit Jade). The dye job is a great one - - it doesn't rub off on you (I tested it by getting it wet to make sure because sometimes ya just can't be too sure). Paired with Bali Sterling detailed round spacer beads and bicones of Swarovski Crystal make this truly a special colorful piece for the woman who loves her red and isn't afraid to flaunt it! The Swarovski crystals just magnify the attention-commanding effect of this necklace. The necklace is finished with a Sterling Silver lobster clasp and a soldered closed jumpring (so it won't accidently ever pull apart). This is a vivid ripe tomato red - - monitor colors may vary but ripe tomatos usually don't :)

Length: 19 1/4 inches (48.7 cm)

Shipping: This piece will be mailed in a gift box for its protection. It will be ready to wear or to give as a gift.

Super pretty, for the LOVES RED person out there.

No Milk Stretch Bracelet For Child in Black

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:38:13 -0500

$7.50
This bracelet is made up of Black Stone round beads (6mm) that are man-made Onyx, and silverplated round spacer beads. They highlight white plastic letter beads that spell out NO MILK hoping to keep teachers and others aware that your child has Lactose Intolerance. This bracelet is only to serve as a reminder for your child's caregivers that they need to remember your child needs to avoid MILK and products that contain MILK. It is not meant to protect your child in any way if she/he has a Food Allergy/Intolerance, just to offer another way to remind people to Watch Your Child and read the labels before offering your child a cupcake.

The bracelet is strung on stretch elastic, so it will very likely break eventually (we are talking KIDS here). Fortunately, it is not very expensive and you can either buy another or scoop up the beads and send them back to me for restringing one time.

Probably best for kids aged 3-8 or so (so long as they won't eat the beads, most likely NOT good for toddlers or any child that might swallow the beads)

This bracelet can also be made into one with a clasp, on stronger material (if your child can do clasps). I can make it in either silverplate or sterling or gold filled, if desired. Just convo me and we can discuss what you want. I can use stones, crystals, glass beads - - whatever is in your imagination (or mine LOL) This bracelet is available in almost any color.

Thank you for looking! I will ship anywhere ;)

Sea Horse Pendant of Carved Moukaite Sterling Silver

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:34:29 -0500

$16.50
A dancing Seahorse Pendant in natural Moukaite Stone with sterling silver accents is my kind of stone! I love carved animal beads the best and this sea horse is the lovely mustard yellow only found in Moo Moo stone. Mookaite (lots of ways to spell it) hails from Australia as a form of jasper there and it is available in a variety of breathtaking colors. This one has both the lighter mustard yellow and the dark 'brown mustard' colors, interspersed with pretty swaths of a creamy ecru white. Luittle sterling spacer beads add some contrast but the focus is entirely on the Sea Horse stone.

This Seahorse measures just under 2 inches (5 cm) from the top sterling silver split ring all the way down to the sterling bead below his curly tail. He will ship in a bubblewrap envelope and a giftbox to make sure he gets to your home safely (and is ready to be presented as a gift to that sea creature lover you know).

The pendant is ready to hang on a chain or a cord. I have some cord and chain choices available in my shop under my Upgrade Section if you want this made into a necklace before shipping. Please feel free to browse that section - - if you add an upgrade, I will attach the pendant to it for free.

Necklace Bright Yellow Jade Stone Chalcedony with Sterling Silver and Swarovski Crystal Accents

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:34:29 -0500

$62.00
The yellow in these beads is a bright cheerful yellow, not a muted honey yellow but a Full On Yellow- Yellow. They are made of stone (a jasper) and are sold under the Trade Name "Yellow Jade" but they aren't *really* Jade, that is what dealers use to try to market their wares to a larger audience. Jade doesn't come in this color (unless it is horrendously more expensive). These are a yellow chalcedony that are probably color-enhanced but still a seriously beautiful shade of yellow.

The stones in this piece have been accented with Swarovski Crystals with the Aurora Borealis coating (so they bling!) and highlighted with spacer beads of Bali Sterling Silver. Bali Sterling Silver has a higher silver content than Sterling; Sterling is 92.5% silver while the beads from Bali tend to be more 93-94%. The materials all merge together into a very pretty necklace that frames the face and neckline with color and dazzle.

The necklace is finished with a Sterling Silver lobster clasp and a soldered closed Sterling ring (the ring can't accidentally snag and come open). Total length is 18 1/2 inches (47 cm) so it should comfortably fit most people. For some women, this is a perfect length for a piece while for others it might classify more as a choker. If you want the size changed, just let me know, I want it to be the way YOU want it :)

Ships in a giftbox and a bubblewrap mailer to make sure it gets to you safely. This necklace is very versatile as it could go with that new dress out for dinner or watch TV in jeans - - best of all it is yellow :)

Thanks for shopping my store!

14K Gold Filled Ear Wires with Coil 1 Pair French Hook

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:13:57 -0500

$2.50
I have a surplus of these so I thought I would pass some on.

These have a coil for decoration and a flattened wire look (fairly typical).

If you want these as an upgrade for a pair of earrings (goldtoned/ goldplated) from my shop, I will go ahead and swap them if you buy these with the earrings. Otherwise, they are sold as a single set of 1 pair as a supply.

If you want a larger quantity than listed, just convo me to list more. I am currently into a silver phase and would be happy to list more for you. Additionally, if you want any other jewelry supply, I probably have it and would be happy to share some of my stash with you (just tell me what you want and I can list it).

Thank you for shopping my shop :)

NOTE: If this is a swap for earrings from Goldfilled posts to Goldfilled wire, I will refund you $1.25 and the extra shipping costs or you can wait for a revised paypal invoice because GF wires are less than GF posts and just switching backings of the same material should be at cost, in my opinion :)

I love mixing natural gem stones with glittery Swarovski Crystals.

In the center of the main part of the earring is a 4mm round of Sterling Silver to add eye interest. The pink and red crystals dazzle in the light everytime you move your head, and the little hearts drop and dangle as well. The earrings are hung on Sterling Silver ear posts (but if you'd prefer wiress or hypoallergenics or hypoallergenic clip ons, just let me know in the Notes to the Seller section of the invoice and I will be happy to switch them).

This pair hangs 1 1/2 inches (3.7 cm) in length from the bar.

Dark Purple Childs NO PEANUT Awareness Stretch Bracelet

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:12:24 -0500

$7.50
This bracelet is made up of Dark Purple Mountain Jade round beads (6mm) that are a deep dark purple and fancy filigreed silverplated round spacer beads. They highlight white plastic letter beads that spell out NO PEANUT, with a pewter butterfly bead separating the two words. This bracelet will hopefully teachers and others aware that your child has Nut Allergies. Meant to be worn with a necklace that EMTs are trained to look for, this bracelet is only to serve as a reminder for your child's caregivers that they need to remember your child has Allergies to NUTS. It is not meant to protect your child in any way if she/he has a Food Allergy, just to offer another way to remind people to Watch Your Child.

(My child has Asthma, and I know many kids with it. I also know many people with kids who have Food Allergies. The problem is that the necklaces and bracelets that EMTs are trained to look for tend to be a bit ugly to a first grader or so. These bracelets are a training step for kids for accept the (to them) ugly necklace while sporting a pretty bracelet. It is not meant to be relied upon as a replacement for the items EMTs usually look for)

This bracelet is strung on stretch elastic, so it will very likely break eventually (we are talking KIDS here). Fortunately, it is not very expensive and you can either buy another or scoop up the beads and send them back to me for restringing one time.

Probably best for kids aged 3-8 or so (so long as they won't eat the beads, most likely NOT good for toddlers IMO)

This bracelet can also be made into one with a clasp, on stronger material (if your child can do clasps). I can make it in either silverplate or sterling or gold filled, if desired. Just convo me and we can discuss what you want and how much it will cost. I can use stones, glass beads - - whatever is in your imagination (or mine LOL)

Thank you for looking!
