Make it Monday: Black Spinel Ring

I am trying to buy a new ring setting, each month, or bracelet, pendant, etc. I like rings though, so that is what I usually pick. This is not the only item I completed this week. There is a pair of Peridot earrings, some new etched glass wine bottles, and finishing up a crochet baby blanket. All of these items, can be seen in my Etsy shop. I am still working hard to try and do more than one post a week. It isn't that I don't have anything to say, lol.

 The ring below, brand new in my Etsy shop, is a sterling silver, size 6 fancy rope design ring, with a 6mm round, Black Spinel gemstone. Now I say Black Spinel because that is the most likely answer. However, it could be a black sapphire, or even a black diamond. Most of my gemstones were bought in large parcels, of genuine gemstones, and unidentified. I used to test them, but now I simply don't have the time to do so. This is a lovely ring, and would make a great gift. My Etsy shop, has two promotions running right now. The first, which will expire on Halloween, is for free shipping for all items marked Halloween, USA buyers only. The second is a Pre Thanksgiving sale, and it has all jewelry items, except clearance items, and new items, marked down 15%. Why not start your Christmas shopping early?

Orange Garnet Pear Shape Sterling Silver Ring Size 6

This beautiful ring has been in my Etsy store, for what seems like forever. I would so love for it to belong to someone who will enjoy wearing it. It is a sterling silver chevron style filigree ring, with a 6mmx4mm pear shape orange garnet. This could be another orange gemstone, but I am almost positive it is a garnet. Garnet is the birth stone for January, and most January babies do not realize their gemstone comes in other colors than red. The fact is Garnet comes in almost all colors. This ring is a size 6, and the price can't be beat. Visit my Etsy store, now, to purchase.

My First Three Ebay Auctions Are Up and Running Amethyst, Garnet, and Hummingbird

My first three Ebay auctions are up and running, and I have added other inventory to the store.  In all the years I have been selling my crochet baby cocoons, never has anyone ever asked a question, or showed much interest.  I have already had two questions, in one day.  To me, this is optimistic.  I have always said that Etsy is a website of sellers, with very few buyers.  It is a very long process moving my inventory to a new store, so that might take a while.  Especially since I have to work this weekend.  My first three auction items are my Ruby Throated Hummingbird painting, Amethyst ring, and a Raspberry Pink Rhodolite Garnet ring.  Christmas is coming, take advantage of these awesome auction items.  5 days and 9 hours left.  The links are below, so you can see each item.  I am still offering FREE USA shipping.

Day 24: Lilac Amethyst or Kunzite With Ruby Accents Ring

It is day 24 of the 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. Today, I am again going back to my first love of setting gemstones, in traditional settings. This is a lovely light Amethyst or Kunzite ring. It has the most interesting color of purple I have seen in a gemstone. It also has Quantum cut faceting adding to the beauty of the stone. There are small rubies on the shoulders of the ring. It is a size 6, and is sterling silver. Watch for this to be listed in my Etsy store. My Tanzanite and White Topaz ring sold this morning. So congrats to the new lucky owner of that little beauty.

Tanzanite and White Topaz Band Ring

This style of ring has been a popular one for my shop. I have sold three with pink tourmaline, and white topaz. This is the only one I have that is Tanzanite and White Topaz. Each stone measures 3mm round, for a total carat weight of 30 points, or 1/3 of a carat. It is a size 6 sterling silver. This would make an awesome wedding band for those who like the non traditional look. It would also make a wonderful bridesmaid, graduation, first communion, or sweet 16 gift, or a pinky ring if so desired. The price is right, and it is petite, sweet, and just lovely. Very comfortable to wear. I wear this same ring as my wedding band, with a pink sapphire and blue diamonds. I wear it every single day, with no problems. This ring can be purchased in my Etsy store. Be sure to check out all my items. I offer combined shipping, and a free layaway service.
