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!

@Titian06 It's so pretty! 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Samtian love this!  Can't wait to see more photos when you have a chance!  I also like colored vintage glasses!  Seriously!

[Samtian]

@greeneyedgirl107 I would buy them all if I could haha. I'll post them for sure when I find where I set them. I had a kitten grab the bag in his mouth and run off with it so I set it somewhere and forgot.

Wire Wrapped Earrings 

This may be something I try in the new year

These were acquired through a gift exchange.

@peculiarzmakeup Those are pretty cool! I wish I could wear earrings! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

thank you! My ears are pretty sensitive so I don’t wear earrings often. I appreciate it ❤️🫶 @Samtian 

[Titian06]

These are all so pretty, @peculiarzmakeup !  This type of jewelry always draws my attention at craft shows.

[peculiarzmakeup]

I love the artistry and colors. Yeah they have amazing stuff at craft shows. Such unique and artsy finds. 🙂 @Titian06

@peculiarzmakeup  wow, these are so cool! Wire wrapped jewelry is so neat, I'm always amazed by the skill it must take to make all those fiddly little twists! How cool to get these in a gift exchange!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much! I know there is such fine detailing to wire wrapping definatley a skill. It was with friends who also like crystals so I exchanged some crystals for these 🫶❤️ I appreciate it! @caitbird

Two new rings: Marie June and TJ Maxx online.

Marie June lunar moth ringcarved turquoise flower ring

Funny thing about the turquoise ring from TJ Maxx, it took so long to arrive (and I never got any shipping updates either) that I contacted customer service to ask what was going on, and they sent me a refund. I got a store gift card for the amount of the order...and then the ring miraculously showed up after all, almost a month after I ordered it! So technically I got it for free 😂

[peculiarzmakeup]

These are stunning and so unique. The turquoise is such a magnificent color, I’m glad you were able to get it, that is so interesting how that all worked out! Such beautiful finds 🤩❤️ @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@peculiarzmakeup  thank you so much! I'm definitely very happy with them both 😊

[Titian06]

I love both of these rings, @caitbird ! 🤩  I don't blame you for calling about the ring.  It's great that they refunded you.  Apparently they couldn't track it down either.

[caitbird]

@Titian06  thank you! I have gotten much better about contacting customer service (when necessary) as I've gotten older. Younger me might have just thought "oh well, they probably can't do anything" but grumpy old me is like "I want what I paid for, gosh darn it!" 😅 Obviously I am still a firm believer in being polite to customer service reps, though! And when I do contact CS for whatever reason, I generally have pretty good experiences. I am glad the ring showed up after all - even with the refund, I was bummed about not getting it since I really liked it, so having it arrive in the end made me happy!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@caitbird nice!

[caitbird]

@greeneyedgirl107  thank you! 💜

I've posted my other pieces by Amelia Ray Jewelry here before, and I recently added another piece to my collection! I had been eyeing this necklace for a while, and I was thrilled to find it at Uncommon Goods for 75% off!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Gorgeous! The artistry of this is such a treasure I love  the detail and composition of this piece! So neat! Beautiful piece 🫶✨ @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@peculiarzmakeup  thank you so much! Amelia Ray is one of my favorite jewelry artists, I have several of her pieces. I believe she uses 3D printing to make her designs, which is pretty cool!

That is adorable @caitbird
