The latest trend in ring styles, one very bold ring on your index or middle finger! This ring definitely fits that description; it's big, bold, and very unique with lots of elegant details!

The rhodonite oval stone is absolutely gorgeous! It has many beautiful shades of pink, with just a few dots of black for contrast. That rhodonite oval makes the top of the ring a bold 23mm by 18mm! The stone is surrounded by four wire wrapped swirls made of sterling silver, which adds to the uniqueness of the ring! In between the swirls you will find plenty of 2mm faceted sterling silver beads for sparkle! The shank of the ring starts at the top of the stone and corkscrews down to the bottom of the stone, as you can see in the front picture. It is a sturdy three bands of 18-gauge sterling silver wire, so it will stand up to wear.

This unique ring is a size 9-1/2 (US), it will be sent to you enclosed in an organza drawstring bag, which is suitable for gift giving or storage! Thank you for looking!

I don't know about you, but I cannot wait for spring! Warmer temperatures and blue skies just sound so wonderful to me right now! Thoughts of working in the garden, putting out mulch and planting flowers has me dreaming of spring!

You will find these earrings for sale in my Etsy shop, just click on the link on the right side of my blog! Thank you for looking, and think warm spring thoughts!

My two boys are into anything about outer space, so we usually borrow at least one space book each time we go to the library! Here are a few things I learned from the book, Messages from Mars, by Loreen Leedy and Andrew Schuerger. There are two moon that orbit Mars named Phobos and Deimos, and compared to the Earth's moon they are both very small! Phobos is 27 km, Deimos is 15 km, and our moon is 3,476 km! They both are a strange potato shape and Phobos has lots of craters on it! Guess you are never too old to learn something new!

When I made this ring, Mars kept coming to mind; the following may be the reasons why! The 8mm round carnelian bead is a beautiful shade of red brown, much like the surface of the planet, which has lots of iron and other minerals. There are two tiny 2mm gold filled beads that orbit the carnelian bead, like the moons Phobos and Deimos! Also, when I asked my oldest what planet this bead reminded him of, he immediately replied Mars! That sealed the deal, this ring was just meant to be named after Mars the Red Planet!

This lovely carnelian ring is a size 6 (US), if you need another size please convo me, I still have a few of these carnelian beads in stock!

Light purple amethyst rondelles and deep pink rhodolite garnets are combined together to make a totally romantic and feminine pair of earrings. The perfect way to say, "I love you" on Valentine's Day, or any special day! Starting with sterling silver wire for the frame of each earring, I hand forged the wire to make them strong. Next, the frames were wrapped with yards of very tiny sterling wire. For the final touch, I "stitched" 2.5mm sterling silver beads, 4mm faceted amethyst rondelles, and a 6mm x 6mm faceted pear-shaped rhodolite garnet to the center of each heart earring. These gorgeous post earrings have a sturdy butterfly backer that holds them tight to your ears. Note: The post is in the top part of the earrings, so they hang at an angle. The picture of the earrings on the display card best shows how the earrings will look when worn. The My Valentine earrings are 5/8 of an inch in height, 3/4 of an inch wide; they are very lightweight and easy to wear! They will be sent to you on a display card, enclosed in an organza drawstring bag, which is suitable for gift giving or storage.
