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!

Gorgeous Gemstone Jewelry Completes The Look This Fall

I love fall.  It means cool weather, football, holidays and beautiful fashion.  Fall 2010 is no exception!  This year lends itself to the classics, but with a modern twist.  The big fashion items this year include silk scarves, leggings and to complete your look...gorgeous gemstone jewelry.  Hot colors to make sure you have in your wardrobe this season are rich purple, olive tones, metallics, camel and bright red.  Black, of course, is always a staple to have plenty of as well.  When you are thinking about your fall fashion, keep me in mind.  Whether you need a piece of jewelry for an upcoming holiday party or just a piece of gemstone jewelry that is one-of-a-kind to update an existing dress or a brand new one, I can help you complete the look.  Check out my website at http://www.whittenjewelry.etsy.com/.  And Happy Fall!

Share Your Faith and Celebrate Your Birthday...Introducing Birthstone Cross Pendants from Whitten Jewelry Creations

I wanted to create a piece of jewelry that would celebrate my faith, be unique and also celebrate the day I was born.  I got to thinking that others might enjoy the same thing.  This is a design I have created that is a Birthstone Cross Pendant. (This one pictured is an Amethyst birthstone cross to celebrate February birthdays.) It is made with either a genuine gemstone in the center or synthetic (your choice) as well as matching swarovski crystals, 14 kt gold beads as well as 14 kt gold wire and 925 sterling silver wire.  This is a difficult piece to make and takes a lot of time to finish.  It measures 3"x2" so it has a nice sized presentation.  It makes a great gift for yourself or someone you love.  You can be assured that no one will have a cross pendant quite like yours.  If you would like to order this new design, email me at whittenjewelrycreations@gmail.com.  With a synthetic center stone, your price for the cross pendant is $75.00 plus tax and $3.00 shipping.  If you prefer a genuine gemstone center stone, the price would be a little more and will depend on the month of the birthday birthstone, so will require a quote.  Crosses can be shipped within a week and are all custom handmade.  All of my jewelry comes in a nice jewelry pouch and the piece of jewelry is placed inside a plastic bag wtih a 3M non tarnish paper to keep your jewelry looking beautiful.  I also include instructions on cleaning your jewelry.

Check out my website at http://www.whittenjewelry.etsy.com/.  I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Have a blessed weekend.  Check back soon.

I can't believe it's already September 7th of 2010!  But whether we are ready or not, the holidays are right around the corner. 
If you are looking for something unique and different for that someone special, how about a one-of-a-kind piece of handmade jewelry? 
All of my jewelry is made with 925 sterling silver and 14kt gold filled wire.  I use real gemstones, crystal and beautiful beads to make each piece.  I will be introducing an all new design within the next week, so stay tuned for that, but in the mean time, check out my new Etsy website.

Thanks and have a blessed week!
