CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

[veronika23]

I know a few of us share a passion for crystals and jewelry as well as makeup so thought I would start a thread on this. Share your stash, finds, whatever!

@teufel ,

That's a gem!  Love it!

[ShortErica]

Very beautiful @teufel! Did you get it at a rock and gem show or somewhere else?

[teufel]

Got it at a gem and mineral show. Opals are my addiction. Husband snuck back and bought it later that day. I went back the next day to get it and it was gone. Was heartbroken until he gave it to me for our anniversary. Shouldn’t have been surprised.

We went a little crazy this Christmas and did some custom jewelry with the stones we've mined. Here's pictures of my two pieces:

Garnet (my birthstone) on the outer circle cradling the two sapphires (the twins) - all found in MontanaSimple wrapping of my opal triplet - found at the Spencer Opal Mine

My husband has an opal in gold tusks, my mom has a 4 sapphire necklace representing herself, me, and the twins and my mother-in-law got a matching opal necklace and earrings as well as a turquoise and sapphire pendant. I'll have to see if my husband has pictures so I can share those as well.

Your new jewelry is just beautiful,  @ShortErica!

[ShortErica]

Thank you @curlychiquita

Apparently my husband has an instragram. He took videos of the jewelry to show the shine so I attempted to grab some screenshots.

They are all beautiful @ShortErica!

[ShortErica]

Thank you @faeriegirl!

[Titian06]

@ShortErica - They're all so pretty!  I really like your mom's sapphire necklace!  💖💖💖

[ShortErica]

That's my favorite too @Titian06! But as the jeweler sketched it out, I realized the meaning was for grandma vs. mom. I like mine too though!

[KehDee]

The story behind these pieces is lovely @ShortErica and they are such beautiful pieces!

[ShortErica]

Thank you so much @KehDee!

[Titian06]

@ShortErica - I love the ruby and sapphire necklace!  I would pick this out for myself in a heartbeat!

[ShortErica]

Aww that's so cool we have similar tastes @Titian06!
