New Gemstone Necklaces

In my constant quest to use supplies that I have on hand,  I turned to my itsy bitsy gemstones.  Now, I am talking 3mm - 6mm beads - this is small!  I had quite a few bags on hand - some with just a few beads.  What to do??

Last year (I think it was last year), I had a very nice customer contact me to make her a turquoise necklace - made with just a few beads wired in the center of the chain.  These necklace styles are called Gemstone Bar Necklaces. These are very delicate necklaces, only 16" - 18" in length.  They are perfect to peek out of a blouse, or look awesome when layered with other necklaces.

Since my stash of supplies includes plenty of sterling silver chains, I decided to make a few! Since the amount of gemstones in no more than 1 1/2", it makes these necklaces extremely economical as well - $26 for a 16" necklace and $30 for the 18".  Frankly, I have priced similar necklaces online and I am shocked at what some stores/seller's are charging for these necklaces. 'Nuff said here.

I think the Peridot necklace may be my favorite!  This green reminds me of the color of Spring Time grass....drought is prevalent right now in my neck of the woods, so I don't see grass this fresh color of late!

Of course, I had to make a few turquoise necklaces as well because...TURQUOISE!  Always my go-to!

Faceted Garnet - one of the hardest gemstones to photograph properly.  These are blood red and so pretty!

In all - 10 new necklaces have hit my shop.  They can be found here.  

So, this is what I have been up to the past couple of days. In all honesty, the administrative part of "selling ones wares" is TIME CONSUMING (taking photos, editing photos, retaking photos [haha}, writing descriptions, etc.)  So happy this is done!  Onward!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
