CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

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!

@lmi82cool!  I'm not really good with identifying era's... I just know what I like lol 😄

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

@greeneyedgirl107 @veronika23 I have bought most of my jewelry through Etsy. I've also bought some pieces at Exeter Jewelers (small jewelry shop in NH), Antique Velvet Gloves (online; based in the UK), and The Three Graces (online; based in TX). I mostly shop online because the antique jewelry supply in my area isn't that great.

 

My favorite eras are: Georgian, Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Edwardian. Basically, I like pieces made up until the 1910s. Most of the jewels I own are Victorian and I have an affinity for opals. 🙂

 

I also LOVE ancient and pre-Georgian jewelry! I hope to someday own some really old pieces. They're definitely out of my price range for now, though. 

If you ever want to see something stunning, look up the Earring with Nike driving a two-horse chariot. It's an ancient Greek earring (they didn't find the pair, unfortunately) that's housed at the MFA Boston. It's even more gorgeous in person.

@greeneyedgirl107  I like going on Etsy, a local jewelry store and one of my big obsessions is Pyrrha.  I mostly buy those via that local jewelry store though. And then just random places 😄

 

Ps: sorry can't reply to your reply... grrrrr I hope this gets fixed.

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

@veronika23 @lmi82 I admire antique/estate pieces as well!  I usually don't post pics, but I might have to start with my jewelry collection.  Where do you call shop for jewelry?  I used to buy most of my statement pieces from Express; but I look all over, including Loft, Charming Charlie, etc.  Back in the day J. Crew and Banana Republic had some great pieces; they were pretty expensive, though.

Ahhh what an awesome thread @veronika23! Thank you for starting this 😃, can't wait to see what everyone posts!

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

Love crystals, gems and jewelry!!

 

My favourite is the pearl. I love diamonds, but it's not like I have the cash to throw around and collect diamonds.

 

I started making my own jewelry this year, it's quite addicting!!

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

I love crystals!! I've been obsessed with crystals and gemstones ever since I was a kid. Will definitely need to take some pictures when I get home; I display many of mine within my succulents.

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

Can't wait to see what you share with us @txcatx @k617 🙂

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

Me too @txcatx! I did a 6th grade project on birthstones and was hooked ever since!

 

I love boring non-sparkly rocks too 😄 Geology would've been my second choice of study if I hadn't chosen engineering.

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

@k617 I loved the part of geology classes when we learned about identifying different rocks, but I wasn't so interested in learning details about things like tectonic plates! My childhood obsession with rocks and gemstones started with an elementary school field trip to some caves, and the gift shop had those gemstone sets with tumbled stones like rose quartz and tiger's eye.

Re: CRYSTALS, GEMS AND JEWELRY

@Mcakes@themusefactory.  we have a place now to share our other obsession 😄
