Happily up a creek

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Red creek jasper is one design route you’ll gladly follow!

Gemstone beads of red creek jasper vary really pleasantly…

…each bead is a unique display of interesting patterns.

You’ll see shades like rusty reds, earthy ochres, moleskin taupe and glints of gray.

By the way: the distinctive mix of warm and cool tones in red creek jasper pairs marvelously with both copper and silver.

Go for baroque

Without going broke!

Cultivate organic shapes!  “Baroque” just means irregular shapes, not perfectly round — like a natural pearl.

Sophisticate your jewelry!

Baroque crystal pearls by CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements.

We’ve got them in two sizes and ten mellow hues.  You get them by the hundreds, at cents per pearl.

Faux was never so go!

*PS: not to be confused with the excellent Swarovski baroque crystal pendants :)

Are they in your jewelry yet? :)
