Mother's Day is May 10th this year - and if you haven't noticed how fast 2009 is moving - May will be here before you know it! This year, my friend and I have decided to combine our jewelry-making efforts to bring you three different jewelry options as gifts for your mother, aunt, sister, grandmother, or just someone who means a lot to you – even to reward yourself for a job well done! Our first piece is a bookmark. As many of you
already know from previous orders, these bookmarks can be customized to fit the recipient’s likes. Last year for Christmas, I sold over 400 bookmarks, so if you’re interested let me know soon to get to the front of the line! Bookmarks sell for $10/each. The next gift idea is a pair of earrings. The first is a pair of freshwater and Swarovski pearl earrings, the second and third are Mothers’ Earrings. The Swarovski crystals that hang from the silver component are designed to represent the children’s birth months, or can be chosen based on desired color. All of these earrings are made with sterling silver components and sell for $15/pair. The final offering is a necklace. This necklace is made with fresh water pearls (either the 8 mm or the 4 mm) and either an aqua, blue stone and silk string or a green carnelian stone and silk string. Gold-filled chain is used as the connector for this necklace. Gold-filled is a much affordable option than 14kt gold and maintains its life for up to 30 years before wearing. This piece is sure to be special to those who appreciate beauty and originality in their jewelry. (Note: This necklace can also be made using a fuchsia or “petal” pink stone.) The 4mm necklace sells for $35 and the 8 mm sells for $40.
