Shades of Tourmaline

Watermelon Tourmaline gets its name from the many shades of pink and greens that this gem produces. Light hints of color blending makes this stone unique. I love how the green mixes in with the pink. I recently purchased a neatly arranged shaded watermelon strand, and I just was intimidated. How can I capture all of the shades in one jewelry piece? I measured, divided, ruler in hand. Scared to cut (because no matter how prepared I am beads have a mind of their own and like to fly) I gradually made my way to disassemble the strand and divided all of the tiny 3mm stones into color teams. This is what I came up with:



I made a 2" long bead. Making it the center of attention, I wired in loose silver chain and made it a necklace:

Very dainty, light and colorful. Perfect for spring! Find this piece at www.jeweltrinkets.etsy.com.

Knockouts ;)

Hey There!!! Here is my newest addition to jeweltrinkets, I call these "knockouts", they are soooo sparkly, and that bead right there on the bottom.....well that is a
20mm swarovksi crystal bicone, bigger than what I normally dabble with. We are talking "Big-Time Gorgeous!!!!" Such a wonderful facet of colors once you put these on, very inviting! Perfect as a gift or as those one of a kind bridal earrings that just look perfect. Great for mothers day also, plan ahead!!!

THIS IS IT!

If you are thinking Kenny Loggins' "This Is It", well you are on the right track, but not quite close.
Went to see the movie "This Is It"~The passion for what MJ does and strives for is distinct perfection. So many moves, so many words, all of them priceless. He shined inside and out, did you see those pants? That was a ton of Swarovski!!! From the dancers, singers, band, production crew, lighting, you can see that this tour would have really been a once in a lifetime event, and we only had a glimpse of what it was going to be.
