Why Delight in Gemstone Beads?
Making handmade jewelry is my passion and I lean toward using gemstone beads. Should be no surprise then to see gemstones included as key to many of my jewelry designs. Exploring the meaning behind different gemstones is the focus of this series.

Discover the art of crafting a one-of-a-kind gemstone bead necklace that reflects your personal style – what unique stones will you choose to tell your story?


Some as birthstones.
Some are thought to influence our well-being.
Some are chosen for their brilliance or color.
Garnets are a beautiful clear wine red or may have a more reddish brown color.
Garnet beads are so gorgeous. And pretty easy to find online. I have quite a collection of these pretty beads. Smooth, faceted, different shapes, different sizes... LOVE LOVE LOVE them
Did you know that garnets are thought to ward off nightmares, provide protection, heal wounds and lead to vitality.
Wow! multi-talented gems.
Although garnets are moderately hard stones, some care is recommended if used for a bracelet or ring. On the other hand garnets do well for pendants, necklaces, or earrings.
