Romantic Garnet Earrings

Red is the color of love and romance, and what could be more romantic than gorgeous color of rich red garnets! Garnets are the birthstone of January babies, and its name comes from the Latin word granatus, meaning like a grain, which refers to the way the crystals resemble grains or seeds embedded in the matrix.

These gorgeous earrings started with a handmade frame of sterling silver wire that was hand forged, then wrapped with yards of 30-gauge sterling silver wire. The 3mm faceted garnet roundels and 2mm sterling silver beads were “stitched” onto the frame, and then the entire piece was antiqued to show all the fine details.

These romantic garnet earrings are 2-1/8 inches in length; the dangle is 1-3/4 inches long and 1 inch at its widest point. They are the perfect romantic gift for a bride-to-be, a January baby or any fashionista! You will find them here!

Thank you for looking!

The Crystal Couture earrings are a petite 1-1/4 inches in length from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the dangle; the dangle itself is jut 3/4 of an inch long.

For the Bride-To-Be

and

Her Wedding Party

For your special day, consider nothing less than custom made jewelry for you and your bridal party! You will find many unique, and one of a kind pieces of jewelry at Heart's Desire Beading Company, all made with you in mind! Each piece is lovingly handmade using only the finest metals, pearls and Swarovski crystals for a quality design!

For you bridal party, custom made earrings, bracelets and necklaces with Swarovski crystals and pearls are a must! Swarovski crystals come in a wide variety of styles and color palettes to match the current fashion trends! Their crystal beads and glass pearls are the highest quality product in the beading industry, which is why I use them in my jewelry!

The pearl is the oldest known gem, and was considered a most valuable possession during ancient times! Because they are a symbol of unblemished perfection, purity and innocence, they are often found in traditional wedding jewelry.

The ancient Greeks thought of pearls as the "wedding gem" because they believed that pearls would help ensure marital bliss for the couple and prevent new brides from crying.

I hand pick each strand of freshwater pearls used in my jewelry to assure the quality of each handmade piece!

Custom orders are always welcome and I will do my best to create what you have requested within the budget you have to work with! Please note that all custom orders must be paid for in advance, and allow at least 14 days to complete your specially made items. A good rule of thumb is to special order your jewelry at least 2 months (or more) before the date of your wedding. Also, you will be able to see a picture of your custom made jewelry order online in my Flickr account. This will insure that the items are exactly what you want before your order is shipped so that we can both feel confident that your special order is correct! Please be sure to read the terms of service on my website for all pertinent information on custom orders.

Thank you for stopping by, and I look forward to creating something very special and elegant for your wedding day!

Blessings,

This gorgeous ring has a sturdy three wire base, that is ring is wrapped with yards of very fine copper wire and is strong enough to stand up to everyday wear!

You can clean your copper jewelry by mixing lemon juice and salt together to make a paste and rub gently to remove tarnish.

The focal point of the ring is a 12mm agate disk has subtle shades of rust, and mauve that combine perfectly with the copper wire! It is held in place by the two copper tentacles that curl around the side of the agate disk!

The Octopus ring is a size 8 (US) and will be sent to you enclosed in a beautiful silk pouch with zipper closure that is perfect for gift presentation and storage! Please see my shop policies for shipping information and thank you for looking!

Here are some very interesting octopus facts:

They have three hearts, two that pump blood through the gills and one pumps blood through the body

Each tentacle has 240 suction cups to hold its prey (that’s a total of 1920 suction cups!)

If they loose a tentacle, they can regenerate a new one

They are completely deaf and communicate by changing colors
