Here is another beautiful necklace perfect for a bridesmaid at the wedding ~ your prom ~ or another formal occasion where pearls and crystals would be appropriate.

Pink Teal Aquamarine Pearls and Crystal Hearts Necklace

This necklace is very visually pleasing although soft and somewhat muted, the pearls and pink/teal crystals only serve to enhance the stunning aquamarine crystal hearts. Understated elegance and classic styling that will serve the ultimate compliment to your gown or dress.

I’m combining two topics into one post so thought this would be a good way to grab your attention! It worked!!!

Warm weather is slowly settling in upon us, and it’s time for those sleeves to go ever shorter until they disappear. The less sleeve, the more room for bracelets. The prettier choice for your arm, by far. Wouldn’t you agree?

Here are a few of our bracelets that are perfectly pretty for this lovely time of year:

Sapphire Blue Cloisonne Cats Eye Crystal Beaded 14K Gold Bracelet

Pink Lampwork Cloisonne Pearl Beaded Sterling Silver Bracelet

Lilac Purple Satin AB Beaded Sterling Silver Bracelet

Tourmaline Gemstone Pink Crystal Beaded Sterling Silver Bracelet

Green Cloisonne Frosted Chain Link Beaded Sterling Silver Bracelet

Double Strand Abalone Shell Bracelet

You can see my entire one of a kind bracelet collection here ~ there are SO many more to choose from!

And, a special treat for all of you out there who are always asking for jewelry and crochet patterns. As well as those of you who are collectors of various vintage items ~ I have installed a bookstore into my website ~ there are books on antique dinnerware, antique glass ware, dolls, crochet, cross stitch and jewelry making.  There are approximately over 50 books in each section (topic) of the bookstore, plenty to choose from. You can get patterns, ideas, identification, and information! The common link to my bookstore is in my top menu that runs across the top of the page at Jewelry Collectibles. Enjoy!!

As promised in my last post, here is some information about saying the Divine Mercy chaplet on your rosary bracelet or rosary necklace from Jewelry Collectibles (or your rosary beads that you already own!)

We sell a prayer pamphlet here just for the Divine Mercy chaplet.

This prayer pamphlet comes with a tiny epoxy detail Divine Mercy medal attached, as you can see.

We also sell a beautiful Divine Mercy medal that you can put on a gold chain or have us attach to your rosary bracelet or rosary necklace. We can even attach it to one of our gold shawl pins if you like.

The Divine Mercy chaplet is meant to be said using your rosary bracelet or rosary necklace (from Jewelry Collectibles, of course!)  or your existing rosary beads to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet ~ prayer pamphlet contains a prayer called Jesus Help Me ~ to say whenever you feel life’s stress overwhelming you; The Lord’s Prayer; and The Chaplet of Divine Mercy which you can say using ordinary rosary beads (has instructions on what to say on which beads) plus attached to the prayer pamphlet is a miniature epoxy and silver Divine Mercy Medal. Made in Italy. Measures 2 1/4″ wide by 3 1/4″ long. Laminated.

My personal experience with this is several years long and through many crisis’ in my life. I faithfully say this morning and evening. Morning when I get up and am having my coffee before I begin writing my daily articles and at night before I go to sleep. I truly believe this prayer chaplet has helped me, that the Lord has heard me and has responded. In truth nothing could shake me from this conviction and I willingly take the time to use the entire rosary to say this chaplet five times.

Our rosary bracelets are very popular and our rosary necklaces are even more popular! That’s probably because they are two beautiful items in one!

Our rosary necklaces are birthstone necklaces, plus they have a total of two decades of the rosary ~ one on either side of the crucifix pendant.

Now you can have a lovely birthstone necklace with a cross / crucifix pendant and always have your rosary with you to say whenever you like ~ lunchtime, break, whenever you feel the need to pray  ~  Lord knows life can be stressful enough and sometimes it’s nice to just be able to find a quiet corner and say a few meaningful prayers.

You can also say the Divine Mercy Chaplet on your rosary necklace as well. We’ll post information on that in tomorrow’s blog post.

For now, take a peek at some of our beautiful rosary birthstone necklaces!

This is one of my favorite lenses out of all of my Squidoo lenses ~ because it features the practical gifts. Everything featured in that lens is $25.00, except all watches which are $35.00, and the beaded bookmarks which are $10.00 ~ so everything is affordable, and, usable.

None of the items there are frivolous or specialized, they are really gift ideas we all, at one point in time or another, use.

Beaded eyeglass / sunglass chains, beaded lanyards / key ring holders, fan and lamp chain pulls, zipper pulls, beaded bookmarks, bracelet and necklace watches. What jewelry themed gifts could possibly be more practical?? I have a really neat slideshow of each category of gifts. Only thing is you need to view them with Firefox. Works best. Better browser too IMHO.

If you get a chance, go visit my Practical Jewelry Gift Ideas ~ Designer Chic without the Designer Pricetag! lens on Squidoo. If you like what you see, give me some stars and leave me a comment!

If you have a Squidoo lens of your own, feel free to join my Squidoo group ~ Shopping for Jewelry, Collectibles and More ~ and if you fit the bill, please join, we’d love to have you.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?! You don’t belong to Squidoo and you don’t have a Squidoo lens?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Shame on you.

You better go get one right here. It’s alot of fun to build your lens, or lenses, and if you do it right, you can bring alot of significant traffic to your website with it. Mine lens stats vary but have been known to contribute up to 30% of my website traffic. I have 6 lenses I think at last count plus the group, and it all depends on whether I keep them up or not.

So go get your Squidoo lens today! And if you have one, go visit mine and give me some stars!

What?!?! You don’t own designer eyeglasses or sunglasses????

Shame on you!! Only kidding. You don’t need to own designer eyewear to look designer good this spring and summer.

Your $10.00 sunglasses and optometrist recommended eyeglasses will survive the spring and summer fashions quite well with an eyeglass chain or two from the Jewelry Collectibles Eyeglass Chain Collection. Trust me.

We have a beautiful assortment of practical, beautiful and did I mention completely affordable eyeglass chains in stunning brilliantly colored Czech glass seed beads complimented by gold fill, sterling silver, gorgeous crystals, pearls and gemstones.

May I emphasize that you don’t need to spend a million to look like a million……….. simply dress up what you’ve got with something we’ve got and you are then ready to take on the beach, the vacation, your corporate office, and anywhere else you go looking fabulous. Our eyeglass chains are quality made, by yours truly, and if you want to place a custom order, that’s fine too. No extra charge. How’s that for quality and value for this most practical fashion accessory ~ the beaded eyeglass chain?
