Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows

I am too young to have actually enjoyed the music of the 50's when the music was popular back then, but that's when my parents grew up and I have enjoyed learning and listening to this great music through them.  One of my favorites is a song called "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows".  I think it's because it's such an upbeat song and is about 4 things I enjoy in life.  Sunshine, lollipops, rainbows AND love.  Of course, I love jewelry too.  And even though I am sounding very random, this song reminds me of the season.  It's springtime with color popping up everywhere.  If you are wondering what is IN this season in the way of jewelry, well, I have the answer.  It's flowers, butterflies and hearts.  What a way to celebrate the season.  I want to let you know of a couple of things I have going on with Whitten Jewelry Creations.  First of all, I am trying to get to the number 300 on my facebook fanpage.  If you will go to my page and become a fan, when I get to the number 300 fans, I will draw from my fans one lucky winner of a $75.00 gift certificate.  Go to www.facebook.com/whittenjewelry to become a fan.  Secondly, if you go to http://www.whittenjewelry.etsy.com/ and make a purchase, I will give you 15% off your purchase right now.  All you have to do is put in promo code PROMO15 at checkout to receive your discount on your entire purchase.  Until next time, I hope your Spring is filled with Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows!

Who Knew?

If you own a strand of pearls or if you are thinking about purchasing your first strand of pearls, congratulations.  Pearls say "Grace" and pearls say "Feminine Beauty".  I love wearing pearls and I personally believe that you can NEVER have too many strands of pearls.  Who knew it could be so easy and affordable to take care of your pearls and keep them looking beautiful.  The best way to care for a pearl necklace is to wear it on a regular basis (what a concept!).  The reason is because the oils in your skin add luster to the pearls.  You might wipe the pearls gently with a chamois before putting away just to make sure there is nothing on the pearls like makeup or perspiration.  You can even wash your pearl strand in water and very mild soap and then just wipe with a soft cloth as needed.  But please make sure not to spray perfume or hair spray when you are wearing pearls.  Have a great end of the week and weekend.  Check back again soon!

How About Wearing Something That Is 30 To 40 Million Years Old!?!

Did you know that Baltic Amber is typically 30 to 40 million years old?!  I can't even wrap my brain around this fact, but it's true.  Talk about a conversation piece!


I love the history behind gemstones and jewelry.  Of course, amber is actually tree sap.  Because I love Amber so much, I have made several pieces as a tribute to nature.


Featured here is a 12.60 carat Baltic Amber Rose Cameo that measures 30x20 mm in size. The carved amber adds beauty, grace and value to this already valuable piece of amber. It is framed in 925 Sterling Silver and the wraps are accented with 14 kt gold filled wire and glass pearl beads. This is an heirloom piece of jewelry that will bring you many compliments and years of enjoyment.  To purchase this pendant, click the link below.

Have a wonderful rest of the week and check back often.

Agate Bracelets for Longevity, Protection and Good Fortune

I am always trying to work on a better memory and when I heard that wearing Agate Jewelry could help my memory, I immediately made this bracelet!  Not only does it serve such benefits as a better memory, but it is also known for protection, and will aid you in forgiving others so that love will shine through. 
This bracelet is made with a variety of Agate stones in a variety of colors.  I like that it will match anything in your wardrobe and it is a very colorful piece that enhances happiness to all who wear it and all who see it.  The Agate stone is one of balance.  I appreciate that this stone is associated with good luck, fortune, wellness, security and strength as well as relaxation.  I can't think of anyone who could not benefit from this beautiful quartz gemstone.  Orders your today!

Transform Negative Thoughts Into Positive Energy With The Jewelry You Wear

Historically, Tiger's Eye was worn for protection because the "eye" was a symbol that kept a constant, protective eye on the wearer.  This is just one of many reasons why I love the Tiger's Eye semi-precious gemstone. 
The Chatoyancy of the stone is beautiful and very unique.  Another reason I love the stone.  And it doesn't hurt that it is known to transform negative thoughts into positive energy which helps the wearer attain their dreams.
I like that concept a lot too!  I think we can all use a little help in that department.  The picture shown is of a Tiger's Eye Sterling Silver braided bracelet. 
Gemstones all have a history and are fascinating to me.  I hope you'll visit my website and check out all of my jewelry.  I'd love to hear from you.  Become a fan on my Facebook page for special offers.

Till next time, stay beautiful...inside and out!
