Romantic summer night jewelry

Heading off to the sun or just enjoying hazy summer nights at home? Or perhaps you are a guy looking for a romantic piece of jewelry for your loved one's birthday and that's how you landed on this page.

Well, I better deliver what it says in the title so. I hope you find what you were looking for in this collection of romantic, summer night jewelry, all handmade in Ireland.

pink moss agate heart earrings

Dainty, pinky-brown, moss agate heart earrings will warm the heart of any girly girl. The shade of dusty pink is so dark it is close to brown with purple undertones. Sweet Dream earrings will go with a lot of other warm colours but also contrast well with summer linens and whites. These ear candies are one of a kind, never to be found again so grab them fast! 

Cork red marble heart pendant

Cork red marble is a very rare stone, found only in Southern Ireland. It is more often seen in churches and other public buildings than in jewelry. This marble heart is the last one I have in stock. It is a pale, brownish pink. I gave it a Celtic twist with a spiral bead and spiral wrapping on one side. You decide which is the back and which is the front. 

Connemara marble heart pendant, Love Spirals

Connemara marble is unmistakably Irish. This green heart pendant is also decorated with a hand-formed silver spiral and matched with a Swarovski crystal emerald bead. Hearts and heritage - how special is that?

Forever earrings, Connemara marble and Celtic hearts 

Celtic hearts matched with Connemara marble beads make for beautiful, Irish jewelry. 

blue pearl and heart purse charm

If you are seeking a small token maybe even that something blue, this blue pearl and silver heart charm is exactly that. The discs are mother of pearl and the rounds are peacock blue freshwater pearls. Just clip this onto a bag or purse, or even a bouquet of flowers. It would also work as a rear view mirror charm.

Let's not forget the little girls. This pretty, pink, ceramic heart ornament will delight your mini princess. Hang it in her bedroom window so the crystal bead sparkles in the sunlight.

Stocking Up for Christmas

Nope, I don't have my Christmas stocking hanging up already. But I am stocking up my Etsy shop with festive Irish ornaments as fast as I can. Quite a few have gone already, some before they even reached my shop, so grab them while you can! 

My store will be closing for the holidays a little early this year as I commence a night course in a couple of weeks. So seriously, if you like what you see......you know what to do!

I have only a very limited stock of mini Connemara marble trees left already. Going, going ......

 

My Irish sea glass fairy / angels would make a very unique gift. They are not just for Christmas as they double up as sun catchers when the festivities are over.

This is the last of the flat, round disc ornaments. in Connemara marble...at least for 2014...

....and you will also find a few very unique, OOAK ornaments too. Please do let me know if purchasing as a gift.

Tuesday Treasuries Fall In

Treasuries are showcase lists of Etsy goodies from various shops. They are artfully put 

together by members of the Etsy community.  As always,  I am grateful to be included.

Autumn brings with it a noticeable change in treasury trends. Tones switch from pastels and bright colour blocks to seasonal browns, russets and golden hues. Beach and travel themes are replaced with back to school, knits and nature.

Somehow, the same brown gemstone earrings made it into a second treasury this week. 'End of the Day' by Jill and Cathy of Envy Alley feels exactly as the title suggests, featuring that hazy, evening light found in late Summer/early Autumn. Thanks ladies for including my work in this atmospheric list.

Inspirations, Pink Cherry Blossoms

I grew up on a quiet, Dublin, suburban crescent lined with alternating cherry blossom and apple blossoms trees. I used to love when they were in bloom, looking like giant pink and white candy flosses. When the petals were shed, the pavement became a carpet of marshmallows fit for a little princess like me to step on.

Cherry Blossoms in Dublin city

For a city, even the centre of Dublin is pretty green, and at this time of year, often rosy pink. I love that you can turn a corner and accidentally happen upon a row of blossom trees in full blush. Above is one of those surprisingly quiet streets off the main artery from the South into the city centre. I took this shot on my way home a week ago......

rose quartz and rhodonite earrings, Cherry Blossom

...and then I made these. I couldn't help myself!  Cherry Blossom earrings are made with delicate pink rose quartz and candy-hued rhodonite. I hope I've captured the essence of childhood summers in them.
