Sterling silver coral earrings are so romantic. And romance is something people enjoy being a part of. Some are in love with life, cars, vacations and other extravagant items. But some are ROMANTICALLY in love with that special someone who brings happiness, satisfaction, and true meaning to life. And these earrings are created just for that special someone! They are romantically accented with Coral sticks ranging from 5-8mm long, differently shaped, not one stick is the same. Just the way love is...different in every shape and form.



Sterling silver circle necklace named, Circle of Love, "blankets" special areas in our lives keeping them warm and fuzzy. From God, family, friends, acquaintances, and even hobbies or individual art forms, a circle will keep them all together tucked away safely reminding us how they've all enriched us.



Sterling Silver Earrings with Blue Czech Rondelle Beads and Silver Flowers are just pretty and delightful! They are so girly. And not only do they look pretty and girly, but they look happy. Yes, happy! It's so bright and cheery. Maybe 'cause they have flowers? Flowers can make every place look happy, bright, and cheerful.



Nostalgically vintage with an elegant flair! Yes, they measure almost 2 1/2" in length and are created with 8mm Swarovski Satin Pearls, accented with brass filigree caps, connected to links that are 12mm in diameter. So light, comfortable to wear and appealingly trendy!



Handmade Copper Sterling Silver Earrings with Flowers are cute and jingle with every movement! The hammered metal circles are accented with Pewter Flowers just to jazz it up a bit!

Properties of Gemstones

It can be fun to pick your jewelry according to your moods; it might even help you out to wear certain stones when you're engaged in certain activities. Various gemstones are said to have metaphysical and healing properties; we don't know if that is true or not, but here's a list of a few gemstones and the properties that they are supposed to embody. Click on any photo to learn more about the featured piece.


Rhodochrosite is a love drawing stone. It is said to help release past psychological issues, and help your eyesight.



Rhodonite is worn for self-affirmation and self-love. It is supposed to foster the ability to remain calm in arguments and is said to help the wearer to resolve disagreements in a loving way.



Ruby is believed to stimulate nurturing emotions and economic stability. It is excellent for shielding from psychic attacks and gathering and amplifying energy. It is also supposed to be helpful for blood-related health issues, such as anemia, menstrual issues, and poor circulation.



Sapphire is said to promote light, pure emotions; it is believed to enhance purity of mind, serenity, joy, and peace. Wear sapphires to open the mind to beauty and love. It is also supposed to clear the mind of unwanted thoughts.



Sardonyx is said to encourage self-control and courage in public speaking. Wear it to relieve anxiety and grief, and to enhance protection, luck, and peace.
