Closed - Jewelry Giveaway! Genuine Amethyst Sterling Silver Heart Necklace

Purple Amethyst Silver Heart Necklace by York Avenue Studio

Why does anyone buy colored gemstone jewelry?  Why not just buy gold and diamonds?  I'm curious why customers buy colored gems.  I know why I love colorful jewelry, but want to know what a person thinks that gets them online to search out a great gemstone ring, for example.  Is it an upcoming birthday for a daughter or a neice, Mother's Day, an engagement or anniversary?

Is the specific color gem they choose based on the birthstone for the one receiving the gift or is it the perceived value of the classic three precious gems Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire?

I'd love to hear how people select their gems.  If you leave a comment below with your preference on selecting gemstone jewelry, maybe a true story of a past purchase, or even just describe your favorite gemstone, etc. you will be entered into the Free Giveaway for the Purple Amethyst Silver Heart Necklace! 

I'll announce the winner April 9th along with my reasons why I love colored gemstone jewelry and why I started my collection and my shop.

My recent post for the Free Tutorial for Zebra Stripe Cane in Polymer Clay has been getting some nice traffic!  Hope everyone is enjoying their Zebra designs and I would love to see some photos!

I used one of my Zebra beads to make a necklace with tiny gray pearl flowers.  I used Liver of Sulphur Patina Gel from Cooltools.com to give the silver a nice antique/rainbow finish.  I still can't get over how smooth and shiny polymer is after sanding and polishing!  Feels great!

Genuine Pearl Heart Love 18k White Gold Plated Ring by York Avenue Studio

I am giving this ring away free to everyone who makes a $30 or more purchase in my Etsy shop now until Valentine's Day!!   (While supplies last, no limit, void where prohibited, must be 18 years or older)  Just mention in comments that you saw this sale posted on my blog or on twitter.

A stunning pearl ring that will make a lovely gift for a Valentine’s Day, Maid-of-Honor, Bridesmaid or a Sweet 16 Birthday! Also a beautiful choice for celebrating a 30th wedding anniversary (traditional) or 12th wedding anniversary (modern).

The main focus of this ring is the elegant white pearl. One of the first things you’ll notice about this ring is that there are TWO diamond-like brilliantly cut HEART shaped faceted gemstones! Both are an impressive 6.5mm x 6.5mm, genuine White Zircon, a wonderful diamond-alternative. This ring is designed perfectly for any special occasion.

The general public often confuses Genuine Natural Zircon with Cubic Zirconia, which is lab-created imitation diamond. Zircon is a beautiful weighty natural gemstone that occurs naturally in several colors. It has a refractive index of approximately 1.95, very similar to Diamond, which is about 2.4. The hardness factor is rated at 7.5 on the Mohs Scale. Zircon makes a wonderful diamond-alternative.

Only size 8 available. Setting is 18k white gold plated, which makes re-sizing unavailable.

(retail price $195.00)
