Greetings!
The month of November marks the beginning of the official holiday shopping season! As we head into Halloween and Remembrance Day, we think of giving and reaching out to family and friends.
This year, the Circle Craft Christmas Market is back on and the Seymour Art Gallery Winter Gift Gallery will also return! I can't wait to see everyone in person and enjoying the holiday spirit once again!
|
Missing the carefree sunny days, hope we will enjoy them again soon! |
Remembering the traveling days, stopping by
the farm for pumpkins!

A peek into what's in progress on my bench before the Christmas Shows.
Shown above are various layouts for future Sea to Sky rings with combinations of Dendritic Opal, pearl and/or gold dot. Below, I'm also responding to requests for more Opal rings, I just love how people react when they see them... "such pretty colors and so different".
Let me know if you see one that you like and I will make it to your size!

NOVEMBER Birthstones
Golden CITRINE
Citrine is a yellow type of quartz. It also goes by the name 'Light Maker', Citrine can be found in yellow, yellowish-brown or smoky grey-brown color. It has been popular for millennia and has been used for its rarity. Ancient Romans used to wear it as part of beautiful jewelry. Later, during the Art Deco period between World War I & II, citrine was set in prized pieces of jewelry, which inspired jewelry makers to make similar pieces for Hollywood stars like Joan Crawford & Greta Garbo. These days, it is not that rare.
Citrine is a French word which means lemon, because of its color. Citrine is found in a number of places such as Brazil, Spain, France, Russia, US, and a few other countries.
Legend has it that citrine dispels all enchantment and helps to improve eyesight. Citrine has been said to be an ideal stone for travelers, protecting them from homesickness and danger.

From Chi's Bench ... Re-purposed Delights
Let me help you tell your stories!
|
I delight in giving new life to tired jewelry with my "re-purposed" designs.
Creating new expressions from family legacy pieces are so heart-warming
when I can be part of their journey ...
An engagement ring, family ring or necklaces - they all combine wonderful memories, bringing happiness to both me and everyone involved!

For Evert Favorite "Sister Rings"
One of my most favorite repurposing projects is making "Sister rings", creating one ring for each sister from Mom's Wedding set.
Maybe you also have a sister to share the love?

Family Bracelet Transformation
Lorna wanted to update her "Family Bracelets" that she never wore into family birthstone rings that she now loves to wear and "Show-Off".
Each ring shares the birthstones of her boys!
With some extra diamonds, she had me make
a pendant for her with lots of bling!
