31 sleeps 'til Christmas!

With only 31 sleeps until Christmas it is probably about time I start thinking about Christmas gifts for family and friends (as well as what jewels I want to wear over the christmas season).

For the christmas season you can't go wrong with the following two semi-precious gems:

1. Crackled Rock Crystal. 
   This lovely gem is clear with tiny crackles running
   through it to add both frosting and sparkle. 
   These have a lovely snowy feel and the white colour goes
   with absolutely everything!
   I love this gem because if you get a spherical bead it  
   is like wearing your very own tiny snow globe...it's
   just beautiful.

2. Goldstone. 
   If Crackled Rock Crystal is your snow storm in a bead, 
   Goldstone is your magical midnight sky...
   Goldstone can be a lovely red (more of a terracotta)
   colour, but I am talking about the blue-black shades.
   These semi-precious gems are a deep navy colour with a
   lot of depth, and has stunning flecks of gold speckled
   throughout the stones.

There are many options for using these stones, or any others that take your fancy, and I am always happy to undertake a commission - however simple/complicated, big/small, fashion/precious.

I will be adding more galleries of examples soon, so keep an eye out for inspirations and examples. Or simply contact me to go through some ideas.

Happy Christmas Shopping everyone!!!!
