Three gently swaying stamens with sparkling peridot crystals hang below.

You know you’ll kill it.” I said, “Nope, just designing some earrings.” I heard a sigh, and I’m sure there was a good bit of eye rolling, but I didn’t turn around to see because I was completely enthralled by the beautiful Fuchsia flowers. All of my flower designs, and a good share of my other jewelry designs, come from God’s creation. I love putting stamens in flowers because that’s how God makes them!

~The last picture is of the matching necklace that is not included, but may be purchased separately.
~ As Jesus hung on the cross, there was a thief hanging on both sides of him. One thief mocked and rejected him. The other thief protested and said, “Don’t you fear God even when you are dying? We deserve to die for our evil deeds, but this man (Jesus) hasn’t done anything wrong. Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” Only this thief went to Heaven, for Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23: 39-43
~As a Christian, these earrings have great meaning to me. They represent the true meaning of Easter -- Jesus’ death by crucifixion, and the fact that He rose three days later, appeared to hundreds of people for 40 days, and then ascended to Heaven to be seated at God’s right hand. Jesus was not a human, but God on earth in the form of a man who came to die for our sins. He died so He could take our penalty of death, so we will go to Heaven and live with Him for eternity. Had I not accepted this gift and believed in my heart that he is my Savior, I would have no hope. I would be lost and doomed to indescribable torture in hell for eternity.

♥♥♥ Granny’s Jewelry Box Rings are fun rings made from vintage or antique jewelry parts that I find in my treasure hunts through antique and vintage shops. The kind of jewels that you would find in your Granny’s jewelry box! Usually, they are one of a kind or very limited (1 or 2 rings available). So, if you see something you like, grab it! Since the rings are made from vintage or antique pieces, some stones and parts will have small scratches etc. that are a part of the history of the piece. Since they were already loved by someone before, that’s all a part of their charm! ♥♥♥

Olive and Brass Earrings

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:04:11 -0500

$21.00
~These vintage style earrings are made with a beautiful olive luster Czech glass that’s step cut on the front and back, with multi-faceting on the sides. The luster on the beads gives them a hint of a light topaz sheen. It also picks up other faint flashes of color such as blue, green and lavender when light reflects of the stones. Very cool! The beads are adorned with highly-detailed, delicate looking brass caps with an olive swarovski crystal pearl nestled in the cap on top, as well as a larger one resting beneath the brass “leaves” on the bottom. These are great every day earrings as they are very neutral, feminine and unique.

Pink Opal and Brass Leaf Vintage Style Earring

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:54:09 -0500

$25.00
Pink Opal and Brass Leaf Vintage Style Earring
~Layers of brass leaf caps gracefully drape over the most unusual glowing, faceted pink opal glass stones that I’ve ever seen. They’re so fascinating and beautiful. They remind me of a vintage dusty rose color, and they have hints of coral in them. They’re extremely versatile because they go with all hues of pinks -- from fuchsia to light pink, and they also go with all hues of peach, coral, rust and orange. It seems like whatever color I put them by, they take on that color -- even browns and tans. These would also look beautiful with olive green, and khaki. They’re so cool! Resting on top is a Swarovski crystal that matches perfectly because it has all the same colors in it as the pink opal stones. Brass fleur-de-lis drops dangle below. I love how these earrings turned out and they are SO much more beautiful in person. I just couldn’t capture their true beauty in a photo. The pictures make them look more peach than they look in person. I think it's because I put them on a tan background.

So the side of the bead has open spaces. Very cool!
