<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads.

September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands.

She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.

Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.

Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring.

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.

Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design.

A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.  Matinee - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.  Opera - necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.  Rope - necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   &nbsp;]]></description>

The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches.

The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands.

She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry?

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here.

July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials.

Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls.

Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets?

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Artisan jewelry is a wise investment when you care about . . .   Creative expression   Personal style  Originality and exclusivity  Heirloom quality  Supporting artisans   Don't Just Buy It - Own It  &nbsp;Have you cleaned out your jewelry box lately? I did just last week. Wow! I was surprised by how outdated so many pieces were and frankly - I couldn't believe I owned them. Before I became a jewelry artist, I was a late-night QVC and Home Shopping Network jewelry addict. By the light of the TV screen, I scored some great rings which I still enjoyed. But many of the earrings, necklaces and bracelets simple don't look as exciting now.  When I looked the pile of "donation" jewelry, I realized what was missing from these -  soul .  The soul of an artist.  Not just handmade but made with a piece of our heart and an eye for artistic flair. It's the artist that transforms a pile of shiny metals, little round beads and sparkling crystals into a unique piece of jewelry - just for you.

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging.

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials.

Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too.

For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.

Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.

You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans.

Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.

For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.

Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.

Artisan jewelry is a wise investment when you care about . . .   Creative expression   Personal style  Originality and exclusivity  Heirloom quality  Supporting artisans   Don't Just Buy It - Own It  &nbsp;Have you cleaned out your jewelry box lately? I did just last week. Wow! I was surprised by how outdated so many pieces were and frankly - I couldn't believe I owned them. Before I became a jewelry artist, I was a late-night QVC and Home Shopping Network jewelry addict. By the light of the TV screen, I scored some great rings which I still enjoyed. But many of the earrings, necklaces and bracelets simple don't look as exciting now.  When I looked the pile of "donation" jewelry, I realized what was missing from these -  soul .  The soul of an artist.  Not just handmade but made with a piece of our heart and an eye for artistic flair. It's the artist that transforms a pile of shiny metals, little round beads and sparkling crystals into a unique piece of jewelry - just for you.  If you're like me - you'll know when a piece is right for you.

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.  Matinee - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.  Opera - necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.

The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.  Matinee - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.  Opera - necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.  Rope - necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Why Buy Mass-Produced Mall Jewelry When You Can Invest in Original Art-to-Wear?   &nbsp;  For the price of a generic piece of jewelry - you can own a one-of-a-kind jewelry design from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.   Artisan jewelry is a wise investment when you care about . . .   Creative expression   Personal style  Originality and exclusivity  Heirloom quality  Supporting artisans   Don't Just Buy It - Own It  &nbsp;Have you cleaned out your jewelry box lately? I did just last week. Wow! I was surprised by how outdated so many pieces were and frankly - I couldn't believe I owned them. Before I became a jewelry artist, I was a late-night QVC and Home Shopping Network jewelry addict. By the light of the TV screen, I scored some great rings which I still enjoyed. But many of the earrings, necklaces and bracelets simple don't look as exciting now.  When I looked the pile of "donation" jewelry, I realized what was missing from these -  soul .  The soul of an artist.  Not just handmade but made with a piece of our heart and an eye for artistic flair. It's the artist that transforms a pile of shiny metals, little round beads and sparkling crystals into a unique piece of jewelry - just for you.  If you're like me - you'll know when a piece is right for you. But feel free to contact me to ask about any of our beautiful necklaces, bracelets or earring sets - we want you to be thrilled with your purchase.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.  Matinee - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.  Opera - necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans.

Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design.

You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans.

Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.

These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.

If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about.

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient.

The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design.

Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.

If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.

It's the artist that transforms a pile of shiny metals, little round beads and sparkling crystals into a unique piece of jewelry - just for you.  If you're like me - you'll know when a piece is right for you. But feel free to contact me to ask about any of our beautiful necklaces, bracelets or earring sets - we want you to be thrilled with your purchase.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Why Buy Mass-Produced Mall Jewelry When You Can Invest in Original Art-to-Wear?   &nbsp;  For the price of a generic piece of jewelry - you can own a one-of-a-kind jewelry design from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.   Artisan jewelry is a wise investment when you care about . . .   Creative expression   Personal style  Originality and exclusivity  Heirloom quality  Supporting artisans   Don't Just Buy It - Own It  &nbsp;Have you cleaned out your jewelry box lately? I did just last week. Wow! I was surprised by how outdated so many pieces were and frankly - I couldn't believe I owned them. Before I became a jewelry artist, I was a late-night QVC and Home Shopping Network jewelry addict. By the light of the TV screen, I scored some great rings which I still enjoyed. But many of the earrings, necklaces and bracelets simple don't look as exciting now.  When I looked the pile of "donation" jewelry, I realized what was missing from these -  soul .  The soul of an artist.  Not just handmade but made with a piece of our heart and an eye for artistic flair. It's the artist that transforms a pile of shiny metals, little round beads and sparkling crystals into a unique piece of jewelry - just for you.  If you're like me - you'll know when a piece is right for you.

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.  Matinee - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.  Opera - necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women love to collect jewelry featuring their birthstones and related colors. Here is the list of birthstones along with suggestions of  similar jewelry materials. (This is the "modern" birthstone list as recognized by the American National Association of Jewelers.    Use the search box to the left to find birthstone jewelry available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry galleries.           Month      Birthstones      Info &amp; Ideas       January    Garnet    Dark red with orange undertones. Garnet beads can be formal or informal.      February    Amethyst    Purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple.       March    Aquamarine    Clear pale blue/green. Gem-quality aquamarine is expensive. Appearance alternatives are glass and Swarovski(r) crystal      April    Diamond    Diamonds are a girls best friend but one of the many clear Swarovski(r) crystals are great substitutes      May    Emerald    Deep green is prized but rare. Try malachite or a great Czech crystal.      June    Pearl, Moonstone    Pearls come in every shape, size and color now - as they are now "farmed" for jewelry! You'll find lots of pearls here. Moonstone is a clear, translucent, silvery reflective stone (difficult to view online) and quality of shimmer varies. All moonstone used by ROSJ artists is of excellent quality.      July    Ruby    Dark red with blue undertones. Darker colors are more expensive. Garnet beads often look like ruby. Gem-quality rarely seen in beads. Try Swarovski(r) crystals and faceted Czech glass.      August    Peridot    Spring green tones with a touch of yellow. Fresh look found in beads and faceted gems.      September    Sapphire    Sapphire can be yellow, blue, pink and with reflective star. Gem-quality is expensive - look for faceted crystals or cubic zircononia      October    Opal, Tourmaline    Opal is the "fire" stone with flashes of orange, red, blue, yellow. Expensive, soft stone so beads are rarer. Tourmaline can be blue, green and even watermelon pink with green edges.       November    Yellow Topaz, Citrine    Topaz - bright yellows. Citrine - yellows and oranges. Similar looks - citrine less expensive but a great choice for beads.      December    Blue Topaz, Turquoise    Blue Topaz - medium blue. Turquoise - natural stones range from grass green to dark blue-green. Often dyed. Blue Topaz is a clear gemstone. Turquoise is typically enhanced as it is a soft, inconsistently colored&nbsp; opaque stone.       &nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands. Whether she is creating one-of-a-kind watches or hand-sewing a colorful "just for you" quilt. She's great at taking over when that a particular piece isn't coming out just right since she has tons of patience.  LeAnne&nbsp;    &nbsp; "I've got the bug - I enjoy working with glass, wire and now silver clay. Experimenting with various mediums seems to keep the creative juices flowing. Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.  Olivia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    "I come from a very creative family so expressing myself artistically comes naturally to me. For example, I use my quilting experience in combining textures and colors when I create my signature pieces."  - Olivia   Olivia has a natural eye for color and design. Her artistic talents include quilting and painting. Her ability to transform ordinary beads into artwork gives customers plenty to ooh and aah over. Olivia is willing to take on the challenges of weaving tiny beads into dynamic pieces. You won't see a lot of her work here but when you do - grab it fast as you'll want to own these original pieces of wearable art!  Check out Olivia's other creative endeavors at   www.beyondtherabbithole.etsy.com     Sandra Lee     "I absolutely love jewelry and have collected antique pieces for years. Now I create pieces that will be tomorrow's collectibles."  - Sandra   Sandra spent many years as an estate sale and antique dealer in Rochester, NY. She can spot a great buy from 20 paces and is our vintage expert. As a collector of elegant Oriental and Western antiques and art pieces, you'll see these influences in her work. Sandra has a real flare for fashion and you'll see bold colors and images in her jewelry.  Sarah    "I just love gemstones."  - Sarah    Obsessed with gems (thanks to late nights glued to QVC and HSN), night owl Sarah has found a great way to combine this love with her need to create! If gems are involved or the color purple - you can bet Sarah had something to do with it. You can NEVER go wrong with buying or wearing gems.   Sharon&nbsp;    "My jewelry designs are influenced by the beauty within my own colorful garden. &nbsp;I often spend more time selecting just the right colors, sizes and silver accents than I do in assembling the final piece. I love making jewelry for others so I decided to join forces with my wildly creative family and friends to create Rose of Sharon Jewelry."  - Sharon    Sharon was destined to love flowers as she was named after the Song of Solomon verse, "I am the Rose of Sharon..."&nbsp; A certified Master Gardener, gourmet cook, freelance writer and bead lover, Sharon's bold and bright beaded designs along with her creative prose can be found throughout the site.

<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Granny (Jennie of Rose of Sharon Jewelry) has passed away after 96 wonderful years on May 5th. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.          You'll find the work of four generations of women here - our ages range from a savvy 27 to a young 95! Our day jobs may be in an office, at a keyboard or in the garden - but you'll see how we express our passions through our beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches.   Betty    "If you could only see my craft rooms - yes I said rooms! Who could resist making jewelry, once I started seeing all those beautiful beads? I've also started cutting my own cabochons to work with." &nbsp; - Betty    Betty is a lifelong crafter and artist - you name it she has done it from painting to tatting. Currently her passion is genealogy, gardening and sewing doll clothes for charity. Betty's bee logo can be found on her ceramic creations too. Betty's design work incorporates her knitting and crocheting skills. You'll also see traditional touches that never go out of style!  Dawn    "I love pink and crystals so I wear a lot of both. I am excited about creating a new line of wedding jewelry for you. Since my wedding where I wore pieces created just for me by my new mother-in-law Sharon, Aunt Sandra and Grandma Betty, I have been thinking about how I can create treasured heirlooms for other brides." &nbsp; - Dawn    Dawn is the newest member of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry family and. For the past four years, she has been wearing our jewelry to parties, reunions and her wedding with Sharon's son, Josh. Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, Dawn is currently designing her first line of wedding jewelry filled with the sparkle of Swarovski crystal that reflects the tastes of today's brides. Dawn's other creative interests include drawing, painting, crafts and cooking.   Dena     "My best friend, LeAnne was interested in glass bead making and wirework so we took classes together. We often work together to create an individual piece - two different artistic points-of-view makes for some very original creations."  - Dena    Dena expresses her creative spirit through her use of precious metals wrapped around hand-cut and polished cabochons. Her very personal wirework can be seen in her own line and incorporated in jewelry created by other Rose of Sharon artisans. Living in sunny Southern California, Dena creates pieces that are perfect complements to the latest fashion trends.  Jennie&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     "Just hand me some beads and I'll make it."  - Jennie (Mother to Betty, Granny to Sharon and Olivia and Great-Granny to Sarah)   95-years-young and still going strong - Jennie loves working with her hands.

Dena and I often collaborate which can be a great deal of fun!"  - LeAnne    Nothing says  look at me - I'm unique  like a handmade glass bead or silver component. Working along side Dena to create intricate wired pieces or designing her own creations, LeAnne's creative spirit really soars. LeAnne dabbles in glass bead making, art clay and other mediums.

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving Jewelry from Rose of Sharon Jewelry         Gift giving tips    Sharing gifts of jewelry is an intimate communication that speaks volumes about your relationship with the recipient. Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion.

Whether you are congratulating a new graduate or remembering an anniversary, jewelry is always a great choice. The cultural significance of jewelry along with its "impracticality" makes it a special keepsake for any woman.   Such a personal gift requires you to observe, listen and use your intuition when selecting the perfect Rose of Sharon original design. Below are some jewelry selection tips and gift ideas to help choose the right piece for that special someone.     Match the gift with the occasion.    A formal occasion such as a wedding requires formal jewelry. Special occasion jewelry can be more delicate than every day favorites.   Good choices for formal occasions are pearls, single strand necklaces, Swarovski or other crystals, delicate designs and 14k gold or fine silver components.    Remember the mood.   Looking for something to WOW her? Need to earn some brownie points or say I'm sorry? Go for the dramatic statement with a three-piece jewelry set featuring a beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. Think about what would make her smile (something she desires but might not buy for herself).    Choose a symbolic or spiritual stone or color.   For over 75,000 years, beads have been used to adorn clothing, hair, dinnerware and of course - ourselves. Across every continent, the universal gift of love has long been jewelry. Cultures around the globe have assigned symbolic meanings and spiritual properties to gemstones and other natural materials. Perhaps she'd like a bracelet with her birthstone or Swarovski crystal representation. Or why not appeal to her spiritual side and empower her with a royal purple Amethyst or wish her a happy marriage with a string of pearls. Red crystals represent true love and are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You'll find birthstone charts, spiritual guides and other information throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site if you are interested in learning more about the symbolism of beads.     Select age appropriate styles .   The younger the recipient the more classic (demure) the look should be for long-term wearing.   Teens and preteens can be hard on jewelry so select more durable stones and materials and carefully instruct them on the proper care and cleaning. Look for sturdy clasps and "harder" materials.   When selecting jewelry for a more mature woman or anyone with dexterity challenges, look for pieces with easy to use toggle or hook and eye clasps.  Please be aware that Rose of Sharon Jewelry is not designed for children 6 and under. For raw material safety information, please refer to our FAQ.    Look for the right size and balance.   A petite woman should wear smaller scaled pieces. A larger woman's stature can carry a design with larger or bolder components.     Peek into her closet.   What colors are found most often? These are probably her favorites so match or coordinate your choice so she can wear your gift often. Look at necklines to choose the right length necklace. Longer length necklaces are typically considered more informal.    Coordinate with her wardrobe.    A jeans and t-shirt gal needs casual, funky, chunky, heavy, fun and colorful beads and gems. Subtle colors and classic shapes are great for a suit-wearing executive. Does she wear long flowing tunics, jackets or skirts? Then select a longer necklace.     Check her jewelry box.   Is she a gold or a silver gal? Or does she like to mix it up? If you only see silver - invest in a Rose of Sharon design that features fine silver (99.5% pure silver) or sterling silver (92.5%) beads and components. If gold tones are her fave, look for vermeil (gold over silver), gold fill, or 12 or 14k gold as the featured metal.  Does she have tons of earrings and no bracelets? The type of jewelry she wears most often is your best bet. Don't see any bracelets - then look for a necklace/earring set. If you are unsure of her wrist size for a bracelet or watch (and getting out a tape measure would ruin the surprise), go for a great pair of earrings.    Consider her lifestyle.   There are three types of jewelry - "Everyday" jewelry is comfortable, durable and looks great with everything from sweats to sun dresses; "I'm feeling pretty" jewelry adds a special touch to "out and about" outfits for work, shopping or play; "Look at me" jewelry makes a statement, tells people who you are or celebrates a memorable occasion. A busy Mom of twins would love a sparkly fun watch; while dangly charm bracelets or bouncy earrings would just get in the way.     Still lost?   A Rose of Sharon Jewelry gift certificate might be the answer. She can shop for what she'd like 24/7 and you'll still be the hero. We can even email you the certificate so you don't miss that important date!&nbsp;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Why Buy Mass-Produced Mall Jewelry When You Can Invest in Original Art-to-Wear?   &nbsp;  For the price of a generic piece of jewelry - you can own a one-of-a-kind jewelry design from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.   Artisan jewelry is a wise investment when you care about . . .   Creative expression   Personal style  Originality and exclusivity  Heirloom quality  Supporting artisans   Don't Just Buy It - Own It  &nbsp;Have you cleaned out your jewelry box lately? I did just last week. Wow! I was surprised by how outdated so many pieces were and frankly - I couldn't believe I owned them. Before I became a jewelry artist, I was a late-night QVC and Home Shopping Network jewelry addict. By the light of the TV screen, I scored some great rings which I still enjoyed. But many of the earrings, necklaces and bracelets simple don't look as exciting now.  When I looked the pile of "donation" jewelry, I realized what was missing from these -  soul .  The soul of an artist.  Not just handmade but made with a piece of our heart and an eye for artistic flair. It's the artist that transforms a pile of shiny metals, little round beads and sparkling crystals into a unique piece of jewelry - just for you.  If you're like me - you'll know when a piece is right for you. But feel free to contact me to ask about any of our beautiful necklaces, bracelets or earring sets - we want you to be thrilled with your purchase.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In our excitement to share with you about our latest designs, we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we are talking about. So here is a list (which will continue to grow) of jewelry terms. If we've forgotten anything, drop us a note and we'll add it!  Bail  - hoop like piece that attaches a pendant to a chain or necklace.   Bangle  - round or elliptical bracelet   Briolette  - a teardrop shaped faceted gemstone or glass bead.   Charm  - dangling component featuring animals, flowers, memorabilia and other images of interest to the wearer. For example, someone who loves gardening might have a flower pot, trowel, sun hat or other charms related to gardening. Can be made from precious metals, pewter, copper and other base metals,    Choker  - Necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.   Clasp  - metal, crystal, wood or other sturdy material used to connect two ends of necklace around neck. Opera and Rope lengths may not have clasp.   Drop earring  - a design that dangles below the earlobe   Earbacks  - plastic, metal or a combination to secure earring post or hook   Facet  - a flat surface of a multi-surfaced stone.   Filigree  - a technique which results in a fine intricate metal pattern.   Hoop earring  - a circular designed earring   Inclusions  -&nbsp; interior cracks beneath the surface. Gemstones and crystals result from minerals dissolved in water slowly evaporating and hardening. This process creates minor cracks beneath the surface which considered part of their natural beauty and should not affect wearing.   Knot  - Hand-tied knots between pearls to protect them from rubbing together and to keep pearls from scattering should silk thread bread. Found most often in higher quality pearl necklaces as this is time consuming.   Lobster claw  - an oval shaped clasp that with a spring opening that hooks into opposite ring. Can be difficult to open with long nails or less dexterity.   Matinee-length  - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.   Matte finish  - surface of metal or glass that is dull and does not give off any shine or luster.    Opera-length  - Necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.   Patina  - refers to a change in surface color due to aging or chemical treatment that simulates aging. Bali silver with its darker curves and crevices has a chemical created patina.   Post  - part of earring that inserts into earlobe   Princess-length  - Necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.   Rope-length  - Necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   Sterling Silver -  items are made of 92-1/2% pure silver and 7-1/2% copper or other alloy, proportions fixed by law. Sterling silver will "patina" in time, that is, its color will take on an "antique" look.    Vermeil  - (Vehr-MAY) Componants are made of sterling silver, then heavily electroplated with 22Kt yellow gold. Excellent alternative to costly karat gold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Long Should I Go? Through the years, various necklace lengths have become "standard". But these are set lengths are really just a guide so you know what you are purchasing. The actual length of a finished necklace may be slightly more or less based upon the specific size of an element. Beads (especially the more natural, organic shapes) and clasps may not measure out   exactly   16 inches.  Throughout the Rose of Sharon Jewelry site, we list lengths such as 17 &frac12; inches. This measurement comes from opening up the necklace and going from clasp half to clasp half. Depending up the type of clasp, the actual end-to-end length will vary. For a necklace which fits a bit too snug or needs a little length to fit a neckline, purchase a necklace extender.   The specific length(s)should be based upon your height, body shape, clothing style and lifestyle.  If you are petite, select shorter lengths to avoid making you appear child-like.  Taller women can easily carry multiple stranded ropes and chunkier chest-covering designs.   Choker and prince lengths are the most common for collared shirts that are worn open at the neck.  Try mixing necklaces of various lengths (or buy a unique multi-stranded, multi-length necklace from a Rose of Sharon Jewelry artist.  Uncertain What Length to Purchase?  Measure your favorite necklace and buy nearest length listed for your favorite necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry.  &nbsp;Want a different length but are uncertain what to buy? Put on the outfit you are trying to coordinate with; then take a heavy string and cut various lengths until you find the best one. Measure the string and order accordingly.  Common Necklace Length Terms   Choker - necklace (about 16 inches) that fits close to your neck. Suitable for formal and casual attire.  Princess - necklace (about 18 inches) longer than choker.  Matinee - necklace (about 22 inches) length common for casual day wear.  Opera - necklace (about 30 - 32 inches) length common for formal wear. Often double strands.  Rope - necklace (40 inches or longer) that can be knotted or double wrapped around neck. Multiple strands are very common.   &nbsp;]]></description>
