DON'T LOOK AT THIS NANCY!



It really isn't that much of a surprise, but I finished this set for Nancy today.  It is out of order of priority on what needs to be accomplished on my work bench, but I just love these stones and wanted to work with them.  Green Goldstone! Asymmetrically cut stones, this picture doesn't do them justice.  There are tiny specks of gold sparkle inside each stone and the green is so intense, like Emerald City Green.  We bought enough of these stones to make the necklace, earrings and a bracelet!

March Madness!!!

I am excited to begin the process of working on new items for a Vendor Show in March 2012!  The show will be held at the Richland Area Community Center and will feature home based businesses, crafters and artists.  It will be a great opportunity to meet new people and hopefully introduce ReMarydOriginals Jewelry to a whole new group of people.  Watch for details on the event in March!

Andrea's Jewelry Repairs

Dearest Friends,
I am not a trained artist, but sometimes I sure feel like one.  I seem to procrastinate over the projects that are simple and pretty straight forward.  Somehow that seems like an artist thing to do.  Either way, I have put this project aside a couple of times, but have finally completed it.  Feeling unhappy with how long it took me to complete, I am still sharing the final product.  Three repairs: change the clasp on the green fabric necklace to magnetic; restring blue glass square necklace add crystals; and use three cut amethyst stones in something other than earrings.  I made a bracelet with other amethyst chips, Swavorski crystals and silver spacers.  Plus I made a second bracelet to accent with oblong natural amethyst stones.  I hope that this will make up for the long wait to get her jewelry back.
