Gemstone Bangle Bliss

Well it is time to start working on the fall collection.  I just love these bangles that I have been working on!  They are stunning by themselves or create a bold look by stacking several together!  Gemstones are painstakingly wrapped onto a hand forged heavy sterling silver cuff bracelet.

Lovely Iolite!

 Flashy Labradorite!

Garnet,  perfect for the fall!

Multi Gemstone.  Perfect with jeans or that special evening gown.

Black Garnet!

2013 Jewelry Trends

It is the new year and time to look ahead to see what the jewelry trends will be for 2013.

Emerald will be the color for spring 2013 according to Pantone's color fashion report

Simple drop earrings will be very popular for 2013.   This simple style of earring will be easy to coordinate with any style for spring.

Druzy pendants will remain very popular for 2013.  I love their organic form and those framed in gold are very chic.  Druzy's come in wide range of colors.

A few new items were added to the Jewels2Luv shop and I thought I would share them with you.  

A iolite briolette is wire wrapped and hangs from a iolite chain

I call this the perfect everyday necklace.  A gold filled disc has been hammered to perfection and hangs on a gold filled chain.

This cute necklace features a handmade pendant and a turquoise chain.  I made the pendant from fine silver then plated it in 18kt gold.

A delicate handmade fine silver circle hangs from an apatite gemstone chain.

This lovely necklace features a labradorite gemstone chain and a labradorite briolette that hangs from a gold vermeil rose.

Hope you all have a great week!
