Scrumptious New Addition....
DIAMONDS!!
Here's something we have never carried before - little, sugar crusted, white crumbles - industrial diamonds. Although they are not what your mind first leaps to when you visualize diamonds - clear and faceted and very expensive. They ARE just beautiful, twinkling, sparkling stones that would enhance any design or be an unusual shimmery strand on their own. These are especially nice in wire wrapped designs. Take a look at photo 1 and notice their very reasonable price!
Larimar - photo 2
Our first time carrying this unique natural colored stone. It is 'rare' in that it only occurs in one place in the world - the Dominican Republic. Although it looks like a reflection in the blue Caribbean waters, it is actually volcanic in origin. We have a few unset, drilled pendants and the lovely flat ovals in stock.
Sapphires - photo 3
Exceptional quality of beautiful true blue sapphires in a smooth cut. The graduated smooth ovals are in unusually long strands - 24", 22", 20", and 18". Even the rondelle strands are a generous 19". They are the very definition of sapphire color.
Exotic Pearls - photo 4
The most unusual are the very large (20-30mm) squares, drilled on point, with irregular, molten surfaces and a great play of color - white to gray to peach to lavender to cream.
Next are triangles - double drilled, in white or apricot with pink tones.
Then there are the BIG "dime pearls" - at 17-18mm perhaps they should be called "penny pearls". They come in a lustrous white or a golden, blushed mauve.
New Teeny, Tiny Sparklies - photo 5
A whole selection of little faceted gems. Choose from Sunstone filled with cinnamon sparkle, Rubies (dyed, but a great color!), Prehnite in soft celery green, Blue Apatite in transparent aquas and a darker teal blue, Chrysoprase in opaque shades of green apple candy, Sapphires in dark opaque blue, Zircon in bands of grape, amber and wine spaced with greeny taupe, and Citrine - a fabulous quality - tiny bits in pale honey and rich, dark cognac.
Rhodochrosite and Quartz - photo 6
An amazing true pink stone in 3 shapes. The rounds and ovals show off the natural pink and white markings and the little rectangular pillows are all soft pink.
The clear Quartz is dazzlingly transparent with a great cut and polish. The Rose Quartz is the same but glowing with a translucent pink.
Pearls - photo 7
What could be better on bare shoulders? We have gorgeous "potato chip" pearls in large and small, lots of colors and sizes.
Lapiz - photo 8
A quantity of classically beautiful blue Lapiz with a gorgeous polish in graduated strands. All are round with the largest at 23mm grading down to 15mm and the smallest starting at 14mm down to 9mm. These strands are all finished with a clasp and can be worn immediately.
Copper - photo 9-10
With the prices of Silver and Gold continuing to go up and UP, we are taking another look at beautiful Copper. Manufacturers are making more findings and beads available all the time. Our newest shipment even included such difficult to find items as cones, clam shells, spring rings, crimps and head pins. We also carry copper wire in gauges from 14 to 24 and 7 styles of copper chain and even the new Copper SoftFlex in 3 sizes. Take a look at the lovely clasps, lantern beads and cones and the assortment of headpins and findings.
Chain - photo 10
Did you know we carry a wide range of CHAIN in goldfill and sterling silver in addition to the copper? This is just a tantalizing sample of the nearly 100 different styles currently in stock.
