I'm going a thousand different directions these days, seldom settling on one gemstone to work with (when I get to work), and with my mind full of all the changes going on at home. I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to have the house in order for Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for good reasons: Great food, my favorite people, the house full of laughter, and plenty of good wine combined with a great tolerance towards anyone who decides that he/she must have a quick nap.
While I've been terribly flighty the last two weeks, I did manage to make some bracelets using aquamarines. I have some especially pretty blue aquamarine, both opaque and translucent, that falls into the category of gemstones that I want to use and have too. The first bracelet "At the Edge of the North Sea" features one of my favorite combinations: aquamarine and labradorite. Here I've thrown in a couple of ringers: special dichroic beads by Paula Radke and amethysts. This is on the Handmade Bracelets page.
The next two bracelets also have those lovely aquamarines; the first aquamarine bracelet has dichroic beads that look great with the blue aquamarines. The second aquamarine bracelet is for those purists who want only sterling silver with their aquamarines. Both of these are on the Aquamarine Bracelets page.The last two bracelets are made of Swarovski crystals. The clear crystal bracelet is made from the new shaped Swarovski beads in crystal Moonlight. The last bracelet has Indigo Swarovski crystals, Karen Hill Tribes and Turkish sterling silver. Both of these are on our new page Holiday Gift Ideas.
If you're cooking Thanksgiving dinner (as I am) , good luck with all those once-a year-dishes!

I don't know what is your reaction when you hear about "chocolate gold jewelry", this is a jewelry wrapped in gold tin foil. This kind of chocolate gold sounds even more delicious. Do you want to taste it? According to collegecandy.com, Don't eat this chocolate gold because it is a real jewelry.

According to fasshonburu.com, “Apparently there is a special process called PVD (for physical vaporization and deposition), during which rose gold is bombarded electronically, which makes the metal change color to a molten brown.”

The Chocolate Gold Jewelry, QVC is the manufacturer of this chocolate jewelry. It has a Chocolate Gold collection that is 14 carat gold coated with “chocolate brown coating.”
Would that make a brown diamond set in chocolate gold a double chocolate coated carrot cake?

The contrast between the dark gold and the sparkling diamonds is really unusual.

According to QVC , this jewelry item it’s not just for old ladies but for all! And snag yourself some earrings or a necklace! Most everything is under a hundred bucks and if jewelry isn’t your thing…well, go buy some coins.

I'm still playing catch-up in almost every area of my life since the remodeling. Unfortunate because this is the time of the year when I love making jewelry, and wish I could do nothing but about 16 hours a day. It's just beginning to get cool outside (it was only 52 degrees F today at 2:00 in the afternoon and it's supposed to get down to 28 degrees tonight) which makes me glad I'm inside, and there are so many occasions to make jewelry for: Christmas, Christmas weddings, Thanksgiving, holiday parties, New Year's....

But there are many other things to do including shopping although it's not nearly as much fun to shop when you have to shop!
I've made a special page on the Cluny Grey Jewelry website called Holiday Gift Ideas which has some of our jewelry pieces suggested as gifts at certain price points from under $20 to over $100. I plan to add more to it in the next few weeks. The earrings at the top of the page are featured and cost under $30.00. The jewelry I've been working on is varied, unusual for me since I so often start working with a gemstone and make piece after piece from it until I've exhausted my current ideas. Instead I've been working with aquamarine with citrine in the bracelet above, then lampwork with silver, and finally, one of my favorite mixtures, lapis with carnelian, gold and lampwork.
