Amazonite beads, Rose Quartz, Agate, Jasper, Carnelian, Quartz and Tigers Eye are just some of the stones that are used to create unusual handcrafted jewellery designs. These natural stones are ideal for placing in earrings, jewellery set, and bracelet and necklace designs.
When you have chosen the stone you would like in your piece of handmade jewellery you have to decide on the design. It could be something traditional that you are looking for with a vintage feel and has a feel of days gone by. These are designs that will always play a role in fashion and some of these pieces will never date. It could be a design that is very intricate where you have more than one natural stone that is set into the designs and you may have more than one type of materials like semi-precious stones mixed with crystal beads. The design you could be looking for could be very simple where you let the natural beauty of the semi-precious or precious gemstone shine through. This could be a simple pendant where a polished and cut stone hangs from a claw setting on a find gold chain.
Semi-precious and precious gemstones look beautiful on their own but this can be enhanced by adding other beads in to the unique designs. This could be by adding freshwater pearls, these look lovely when added with soft coloured stones like Rose Quartz and Amazonite and are very feminine.
