In the tradition of the Land of Misfit Toys: Day 15 of 15 Days of Christmas

I love the Rudolph Christmas special with the land of Misfit Toys & the lesson that different means special. I’m celebrating some of “different” jewelry from Rose of Sharon.

 

maxines-folly-necklace

Sandra Lee’s necklace, Maxine’s Folly was inspired by her twin sister spotting a similar design at a local Houston department store. This is a fabulous one-of-a-kind necklace with an asymmetrical layout and bold stones and lots of dramatic sterling silver.

Maxine’s Folly isn’t every gal’s idea of beautiful but it certainly is different.

 

 

abiding_love_necklace

Abiding Love requires some imagination to see its beauty. The layout in the picture doesn’t do this charming pearl necklace any justice! The “difference” is we’re not pro photographers but I guarantee this will be a well-received gift or bridal necklace.

 

 

If you don’t love Abiding Love, I’ll pay for you to return it to us within 15 days of purchase plus give you a $5 gift certificate for your inconvenience.

 

sf016-close

Citrine is such a sunny, sparkling gemstone; however, this rough tumbled citrine bracelet has such a different look. It’s organic and freeform and a lot of fun to wear!

 

 

plum-crazy-bracelet-close

My grandson, Kael loves it when Dad spikes his hair. He calls it “Crazy Hair”. I like to think this is a purple bead and pearl bracelet my own version of crazy hair.

All the fun and nothing stuffy in this one-of-a-kind bracelet from our A.F.F. Jewelry collection.

 

 

jitterbug-necklace

 

Long and lean and from the Roaring 20s – this black necklace I call Jitterbug isn’t a modern look but it is timeless. Want to set a fashion trend – take one that’s over 90 years old!

Jitterbug is handmade with assorted black glass beads.

 

There’s still time to order handmade jewelry from any of our online stores.

 

Hope you enjoyed our 15 days of Christmas! Through the end of the year, I’ll be blogging about a variety of seasonal topics and tossing in a special on our handmade jewelry here and there.

From the Christmas tree to the poinsettia, nature is a part of the Christmas holiday. Why not celebrate nature with handmade jewelry featuring leaves & flowers? Sharing 5 floral handmade necklaces for Day 11 of 15 Days of Christmas.

Gardens of Stone

I’ve been gardening since I was a toddler. As the granddaughter of berry farmers, my earliest memories are in the fields. I’m a certified Master Gardener and carry on the love of flowers nurtured by my parents and my grandmothers. You’ll find plenty of flowers in my jewelry.

Here are 5 flowers that will never wilt – beautiful handmade floral jewelry from Sandra Lee, Betty, Jennie and me.

The Deepest Red necklace was created by Betty from lush red bamboo coral beads to accent a sterling silver filigree flower. The flower is a reinterpretation of a lotus.

autumn-harvest-necklace

 

I fell in love with this beautiful Jasper leaf and spent several months searching for the right beads to complete the strand. The copper wiring is a wonderful contrast to this handmade Autumn Leaf necklace. autumn-leaf

This is a heavy, bold one-of-a-kind design.

Simple Jewelry Doesn’t Mean Boring Jewelry!

IMG_4080

 

The simple beauty of the grey/black stone, hematite, is all you need in this 22-inch handmade necklace by Betty. (Please note natural hematite is heavy so this necklace is heavier than most.)

 

 

 

 

first-love-necklace-3

 

First Love is a delicate pale pink single strand of glass pearls. This color looks great with browns or a white “man” shirt.

 

 

 

 

 

flower-power-necklace

 

60s vintage beads are simply strung in Betty’s illusion style necklace. She felt that these unique beads shouldn’t compete with anything else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

sb012_basic_black_full

 

This isn’t the simplest necklace featured here – but it is the necklace equivalent of the “basic black” dress. The beads – natural black onyx – and little dangle would compliment any cocktail dress or even look great with a classic boat-neck blouse.

Dreaming of a White Christmas: White Handmade Jewelry Day 4 of 15 Days of Christmas

I’ve never outgrown the excitement of a white Christmas. If you love a Christmas in white, try one of these great white handmade necklaces.

Day 4 Promotion: Make a purchase of $150 or more from any Rose of Sharon store (links below) and we’ll send you a FREE pair of white pearl earrings as a gift! Promotion expires midnight PST 12/3/10.

Winter in White – Handmade Pearl Jewelry

When you think of white jewelry, pearls are the first to come to mind. While pearls come in a variety of colors, white pearls are the classic standard. Freshwater and cultured pearls are farmed in Asia and their more organic shapes and colors (not the perfect round versions from Breakfast of Tiffany) are budget-friendly alternatives to the A+ pearls.

Another option is faux or glass pearls.  Jackie Kennedy Onassis was known for her pearls which were actually “fake”. Michelle Obama regularly wears large bold and colorful faux pearls.

Here are 5 great handmade necklaces in white from the women of Rose of Sharon Jewelry. Any one of these would be perfect for daily wear or special occasions.

 

always-and-forever-necklace Always and Forever is a lovely double strand of vintage glass pearls with coordinating earrings. These pearls (from my late Granny’s stash) are over 50 years old but have the same high quality luster as when they were first created.

Mom added some vintage gold beads for extra sparkle.

This necklace is part of our New Life Jewelry Art collection at ArtFire.

flapper-pearl-necklace

48-inches of fabulous vintage glass pearls! This necklace was created by my late Granny (Jenny of Rose of Sharon Jewelry). She was so excited to see it posted in the ArtFire store.

I’d love to see this go to someone who treasures the elegance of this versatile necklace.

empress-pearls-necklace

There are lots of “whites” – ranging from those with a blue under cast to those with a yellow base. These have a very slight yellow cast which means they are called “off-white”.

The Empress necklace is a graduated strand of heirloom quality glass pearls with a matching pair of earrings.

 

BB013_lg

 

This is called an “organic” necklace because the natural freshwater pearls have wonderful “love rings”. Love rings are tiny natural rings that encircle the pearl . The finishing touch to this long multi-strand beauty is a wonderful crystal slice with another crystal dangling within. A great choice for the gal who loves her jewelry “a la natural.”

 

 

We laid this necklace flat to get all the curves into one picture but it isn’t the most flattering pose. When you wear this necklace it really accents your neckline and is muchabiding_love_necklace prettier than the picture. This one is scheduled to be reshot soon – if some lucky lady doesn’t get it first!

Betty’s Abiding Love necklace features a sterling silver cross on lovely white pearls.

 

 

 

 

White isn’t just for weddings. It is the perfect neutral and works with a wide color range from other whites to dark colors (for a pop of contrast.)

You can find these and other wonderful one-of-a-kind necklaces in all of our online stores.

The Cure for a Blue Christmas: Day 3 of 15 Days of Handmade Jewelry

Elvis’ Blue Christmas is a personal favorite. Today’s post features beautiful blue handmade jewelry to keep away those cloudy thoughts plus free blue earrings!

Day 3 Promotion: Order any blue jewelry today from Rose of Sharon Jewelry, A.F.F. Jewelry collection, Adornable Anklets or New Life Jewelry Art and we’ll send you a FREE pair of blue earrings. This offer expires at midnight PST 12/3/10.

Blues of Every Hue

From baby blue to deep (almost black) blues, blue is the most popular color. Think of the lush colors of sapphire, the deep rich Lapis blue or the pale blue of chalcedony. Natural blue stones and gems are coveted and more costly.

However, many blues in beads and stones are successfully achieved with man-made dyes giving give us boundless options in design. Dyed products are an industry standard and satisfy our desire for colorful jewelry.

peaceful-blue-necklace

 

Blues can be a peaceful choice like in this multiple blue necklace with a blue peace sign.

Blue is a peaceful color and makes a great choice for areas of rest in your home such as a bedroom.

 

 

blue-clouds-necklace-set

 

Dark blue lovers are thought to be intelligent, self-reliant and willing to take on responsibility.

Sandra Lee’s Blue Cloud design uses my favorite hue of blue in the crystals. This necklace has an interesting inner strand of faux pearls plus a bonus pair of earrings!

 

bb026-lace-and-love-necklac

 

This lovely soft sapphire blue crystal necklace and bracelet set features a silver filigree flower.

People who wear light blue are said to be thoughtful and analytical.

 

 

 

heavenly-blue

This Heavenly Blue ornate cross necklace is a wonderful example of white, blue and silver color theme. This beauty was handmade by Betty.

Blue is considered the color representing heaven (hence the name of this necklace).

 

 

 

before-dawn-necklace

 

The blue double strand necklace is a wonderful example of dyed coral. Before Dawn also features a Blue Quartz flower.

Blue Quartz is thought to have properties which improve your organization and increase mental clarity.

 

May you always find the peace and heaven that blue can bring to you!

 



Day 2: Making an Anniversary Special, 5 Great Handmade Jewelry Gift Ideas

Roses are adored but handmade jewelry builds memories of love. To honor our 32nd anniversary today,  I’m sharing my favorite gift choices from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.

To honor our 32 years together, I’m giving the first 5 readers a 32% discount on any purchase from the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store. See details below.

Rings and Earrings = Love

My first wedding ring was a $50 gold band from a department store. Next Arden bought me a lovely ruby ring (my birthstone) as an anniversary gift. Then he gave me a soft pale blue Aquamarine ring (which I had to have cut off by a fireman after my finger became swollen – but that’s a whole ‘nother story). I found a great synthetic emerald that he bought me one year – love that bold green and of course, it’s real. It’s really filled with love.

I love big bold earrings so Arden surprised me one year with a pair of Lunch at the Ritz, bold, glittery fish in the sea. I own several more pairs but these are still my favorite. Women cross a restaurant to comment on them!

Handmade Jewelry – A More Personal Choice

Now that I make jewelry for a living, I usually prefer to buy some faceted A+ gemstones or a wonderful strand of pearls and create my own necklaces and earrings. I love the feeling I get when I hold my creation in my hand.

Here are my 5 favorite jewelry designs from the women of Rose of Sharon Jewelry that would make her happy on your anniversary. Click on any picture to learn more about the jewelry and to place your order. Don’t forget our reader special!

night-sky-necklace-set

 

Night Sky is a glamorous sparkling deep blue goldstone necklace and earring set by Betty. You have to see the close-up pictures to really appreciate its beauty.

 

 

Queen_of_hearts_bracelet

 

Queen of Hearts sterling silver charm bracelet by Sarah.

 

 

 

 

key-largo-necklace-1

 

The necklace, Key Largo by Sandra Lee features citrus tones in Jade.

 

 

 

 

 

octopus-garden-full

 

I actually bought this magnificent octopus lampwork centerpiece several years ago but it was worth the wait to create such a great one-of-a-kind necklace.

 

 

Maiden_sea

 

Sometimes all the elements come together to create a dramatic piece such as Maiden of the Mist by Sandra Lee. The peaceful carved bone face sets the tone for this necklace.

 

 

There are lots of choices in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store that would make her remember just why she fell in love with you. (We also have a few men’s cross necklaces for him!)

Don’t forget to check out our other stores for original, budget-friendly handmade jewelry perfect for gift giving, too.
