We gather more as the pumpkins fatten, leaves change, and finally temperatures fall below 90 degrees. And why not enjoy time together? Despite misfortune, we can celebrate our loved ones and favorite activities. A new multistrand gemstone necklace is sure to brighten any festivity!

This season, I was drawn to strands of small, beautiful gemstones. They were colorful, elegant, and beautiful, and I wanted to create necklaces that showed their natural beauty while also being fun and easy to wear. The long, slim necklaces reminded me of regency fashion, so I found inspiration in English classics like Pride and Prejudice and Portrait of a Lady. Necklaces like Beautiful Dreamer were created for rich, contrasting color with classic faceted teardrop shapes. My fascination with multi-wrap bracelets continues in pieces like Increments, which also features tiny stones and sterling silver accents.

In The Color of Love, I combined three gemstone strands all featuring that distinctive and beloved ruby red color. In Mrs. Gardiner, I spaced the vibrant green tsavorite garnet gemstones with shining sterling silver for graceful style with an unusual gemstones. In Egyptian mythology, the principle of Ma'at represents balance, justice, and cosmic harmony. Structure and color are balanced in the Ma'at necklace of iolite and spessartite garnet.

Necklaces like Heavenly Waters make it easy to love strands of small gemstones, but not all the gemstone delights are restricted to these tiny treasures. The Horseshoe necklace features a sterling silver pendant with cool blue gemstones framed by silver, and the Room for Light necklace features a shapely stack of polished furnace glass and thin opal sterling silver pendant. Pale gemstones shine forth in beaded necklaces like Prehnite Delight and Beautiful Dreamer.

Blue watercolors are the inspiration for the card designs in The Water Sound card package. Each of the 16 designs has vivid blue color with thoughtful lines from Japanese haiku poets, Lao Tzu (Chinese philosopher), or Rumi (Islamic poet), perfect for letting quiet, end of year well wishes flow to friends and family. If these designs aren't quite the card gifts desired, the Card Packages page has over 25 sets of packages to choose from, including literay inspired designs, science inspired designs, American artists, and zodiac signs.
