One of the most famous uses of the stone is in the death mask of King Tutankhamen, where it is inlaid with turquoise and carnelian in bright gold.

Since my drop earrings were so popular I decided to try to make a drop necklace. It is super simple and delicate and I have since added an extremely delicate silver chain to it. I love how it came out, I almost think it would have been better without that blue border but I regret nothing. This is one of my cheaper necklaces simply due to its ease of manufacture. Honestly I think it is beautiful and a good nod toward the minimalism of today's jewelry. The bead in the center is

I posted a while ago about a woman who ordered custom tiny peyote earrings from me. I said I made 3 pairs and she picked two of them. Well, here are the two! I forgot to take too many pictures of them but here are the ones that I did take. She absolutely loved them and ended up giving me 5 stars for them! I am really proud of these and really grateful for the opportunity to make some custom pieces!

I made these two bracelets a few days before a craft show that I went to on Dec 6th. I really wanted to have a couple of cheaper bracelets available. Most of my bracelets are around $40 which is the higher end of my products. These I decided to list for $25. I actually didn't really end up selling any bracelets at the show. (I did really well, but necklaces were my biggest seller surprisingly!) I made two different colors, one more masculine, and one more feminine, although

Clear Quartz is highly prized for its ability to clear the mind of negativity and enhance higher spiritual receptiveness. It is considered the master healer, amplifying energy by absorbing, storing, releasing, and regulating it. This stone was sold to me as a dyed quartz stone, but I suspect it is glass. My logic for this is that Quartz is a relatively hard stone, it can't be scratched by glass. The beads that I use are glass, and there are some scratch lines on the back of

Blue is my favorite color, that is no secret. I don't usually like the stone turquoise but I do love teal colors that are often called turquoise. These are glass, they aren't turquoise stone, but they really really look like they are and I actually love it! It is technically just a picasso Turquoise (the color) finish on glass beads but I think it makes such an amazing bracelet. This is probably one of my favorite dragons that I have made so far. I got a ton of these beads so

Turquoise is considered a powerful stone of healing, but also a programmable stone. You can imbue it with whatever form of healing energy that you want. It will absorb the energy and intentions and return them back to you when you need it most. It channels its healing energy through water and the earth, and works in a constant state of renewal and restoration. Turquoise is a popular stone both for its color and for its master healing properties. I started this piece at about

I usually use real stones in my work so this was a bit of a deviation for me. I wanted to see whether or not I could get the cost of my works a little bit cheaper for my customers. Honestly, I don't think it was worth it. Turns out most of the price is actually my labor, well not actually, but it feels like it. Turns out I do just as much work to make a cheaper product as a more expensive one. So it doesn't feel very good to price it very much cheaper. I think this bracelet

Sodalite as a stone is tied very closely to the throat chakra which makes it extremely interwoven with speech. It enhances intuition and emotional balance as these things affect effective communication. It can be called the Poet's Stone or the Stone of Truth due to its ability to help its bearer articulate their thoughts and feelings with clarity and confidence. If you are needing some help getting someone to understand you, or even to get the confidence to communicate with s

This was once again another design of bronze pony beaded jewelry. Whenever I want to try to learn a new skill, in this case working with gems rather than cabs, I watch tutorials to learn from other people's mistakes. Once I have a "decent" grasp on how to do it I start doing my own thing. This was actually my first attempt at using these gems so of course I turned to the person that I think is the best! I didn't have any of the beads she used, not just colors but shapes. So

I had worked on a few really big really complicated pieces and I just needed a break. I wanted to make something small, easy, and quick. That isn't usually my style but I really needed the mental break of it. I really like how they came out and I'm not the only one. The very first pair that I made sold within a week. Does this mean I will make more? absolutely! I have a limited number of these pearls but other than that I think these will be staples in my store. I don't make

The very first time I went to a gem show I bought a lot of things without really knowing what would work for me and what wouldn't. As a result I bought a lot of things that are extremely hard to use. Check out the blue and red crystals in these two bracelets. They are so tiny! I tried like six different times to use them without just fully covering the entire stone in beads. And It wasn't until I managed this version of their bezel that I was finally able to make something t
