Contact me to purchase the set at a discount

Happy Friday!

I'm really excited to announce this beautiful handmade jewelry set. As a child, I loved those butterscotch hard candies. You know the ones, the bright yellow delicious butterscotch candies wrapped in yellow cellophane. Mmm-M!

This beaded bracelet and earrings set was designed with a cheerful yellow Czech window bead and gold metals. It's the perfect addition to your summer jewelry collection.

Yellow just makes me feel happy! Wouldn't you agree?! You will look and feel absolutely radiant wearing this beautiful, handmade, golden yellow window glass bead and pearl bracelet with matching earrings set.

This is a one of a kind beaded jewelry set and if needed the bracelet size can be altered to fit your wrist.

The sunny color of this handmade beaded bracelet will make you smile everytime you put it on your wrist. Yellow Czech window beads are accented with elegant white Swarovski Pearls, vermeil gold Bali and finished with a 14kt gold fill heart clasp. Bracelet measures 8-1/2".

Yellow Pearl Czech Window Beaded Earrings (E190)

These lovely handmade beaded earrings almost look just like those wrapped butterscotch hard candies. The same yellow Czech window beads are adorned with white Swarovski Crystal Pearls, vermeil gold bali on 14kt gold fill leverback earwires. Length is 1-1/4" from the bottom of the earwire.

Pearl is also June's Birthstone. This jewelry set would certainly make for a heartfelt and thoughtful birthday gift.

Tangerine Shell Mother of Pearl Necklace Set (NES3)

Tangerine Tango was Color of the Year in 2012!

New to Crystal Allure are a few Summer Jewelry one-of-a-kind pieces themed on summer seashells. I couldn't resist these summery tangerine colored Czech glass clamshell beads which have been paired with natural Mother of Pearl circles and sterling silver.

Adding to the overall charm of this piece is a single Czech glass shell placed on one side of the chain necklace. The Tangerine Shell Mother of Pearl Circle Sterling Chain Set is sold as a necklace and earring combination and is one-of-a-kind.

If She Sells Seashells this is a treasure found!

A summery tangerine colored Czech glass shell bead highlights the natural beauty of the Mother of Pearl circles. A circle pendant features three dangling shells and just as you would find a one-of-a-kind shell at the beach, a single Czech glass shell can be found on one side of the sterling silver chain, adding a contemporary flair to this perfect summer accessory.

A more detailed look at this summer fun necklace:

Feature Friday: Jade Pendant Tourmaline Necklace

Happy Friday!

Just yesterday I decided to make Fridays, "Feature Fridays" where I'll highlight a jewelry piece from the Crystal Allure Creations Jewelry collection. It made perfect sense since many pieces are created and posted on the website without ever being highlighted. And of course, like anyone, I love a good sale and so for each Friday Feature, some will also be accompanied by a great sale or discount offer. BUT, don't wait to long to grab it to add to your own collection, most pieces are one of a kind.

Today's very first feature is this gorgeous handmade gemstone necklace.

Watermelon Tourmaline Jade Pendant Beaded Necklace (N054)

SOLD

This lovely piece is only on feature for today, so hurry on over to the website to take advantage of the offer!

Watermelon tourmaline has to be our absolute favorite! Watermelon tourmaline is a rare variety that displays three different colors in the same crystal - green (the skin of the watermelon), pink (the sweet fruit) and white (the rind). As in the gem stone ametrine, the colors of the watermelon tourmaline occur 100% naturally. This is a rare occurrence in nature.

According to folklore, watermelon tourmaline brings the wearer love. It is considered a powerful healing stone for immune system disorders and life-threatening illnesses. Watermelon tourmaline removes imbalances (and guilt) caused by conflicts and confusions. The green part feeds your life force, while the pink soothes and harmonizes.

All tourmalines offer strong healing effects and the watermelon variety encourages regeneration of the nerves, helps with paralysis and multiple sclerosis.
