Adorn Me jewelry is having a holiday sale starting today, on Black Friday, and into Cyber Monday. This is the last sale of the year in our store, as I'll be putting the shop in vacation mode before we leave for holiday vacations at the middle of December.

Everyone visiting the Adorn Me shop will receive FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on everything in our shop, but only those of you mailing list members will also receive a 20% discount. In order to get your discount, just type in when checking out "Happy Holidays! 20% off!" and I will refund 20% of your order back to your PayPal account. For those if you who spend more than $100 you will receive a free adjustable flower ring. Just let me know what color you want (aqua, pink, yellow, black, white, purple, gray or green) and whether you would like it to be a smaller flower or larger flower (some colors only come in smaller chrysanthemum cabochons), and it will be yours. For those of you ordering $200 or more worth if items, you'll also receive a free pair of white Amanda earrings!

As you can see from these photos, you will find a number of new items in the store all ready for gift-giving. Remember that we are happy to box your gift items separately for you, and put a nice little gift enclosure card in the box for you. Just let us know what you want it to say on the front and the inside of the card and it will be done.

We will be shipping on Saturday, December 5th, Saturday December 12th, and Saturday December 19th. The 19th is cutting it short, though, so we cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas unless you would like to pay for Priority Mail -- in which case, drop me a line in email or as a Convo at Etsy, or when checking out at Etsy or PayPal to arrange it.

So check out Adorn Me Jewelry today, because this will be a great time to buy gifts for the holidays, and even that certain little something for yourself that you've been coveting. Come visit us today at www.AdornMeJewelry.etsy.com. :)

Rings of Fire -- the genesis of a collection

There's a woman who works with copper whose work is simply spectacular. I see copper work and then I see hers, and there's often no comparison. I'm in love with her headpins, earring wires and especially her copper rings. They have this fire in them -- a variation of colors from red to burgundy to a golden yellow to almost eggplant purple. They inspire me to fill them with complimentary gems, and to also start a new line called Rings of Fire using her copper rings. Actually, all of the metal in these earrings but the fine copper wire was smith'd by her. It's all her fault, and she is to blame, for your being assaulted with more photos in this entry than in any other entry.

Given the new line, and the name of said line, it seems appropriate to start off with the volcano cherry quartz earrings. It's all cherry quartz, really (the focal stones in the mermaid earrings, below), but the "volcano" variety have what looks like fire in them. Stunning stones, they are, particularly when you can find the ones with lots of fire, and what actually looks like flames, as you can see. The stones with the refraction and visible flames are the most rare, and these stones flame on.

Look at how the colors in the copper so perfectly echo the colors in the volcano quartz. They were made for each other.

When you look at these earrings, you see depth. There is clear Quartz, there's cherry quartz, there's little specs of whatever accumulated through the ages, and then there is fire -- fire that comes from the inside and glows and refracts in the light, and then what almost seems to be (but is not) painted-on fire, on the outside. These earrings would look great on anyone, but someone with short hair, so the light can bring out the fire, would really wear the heck out of these earrings. There will be more in this line, but these particular stones are just perfect in their firey beauty. They are 1 1/2 inches long, from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the ring, and they sell for a remarkably affordable $18.50.
