Custom Swarovski Crystal Military Deployment Beaded Bracelet

A returning customer, Melissa, requested a custom military deployment bracelet, in honor of her husband who was going to be deployed towards the end of the year.

It was my pleasure and honor to have been selected by Melissa to create this beautiful keepsake treasure. I wish for Melissa a speedy return of her husband from active duty. And I personally thank her husband, Troy, and all the troops serving for their dedication in protecting us and our freedoms!

Melissa's Custom Military Deployment Bracelet B202
This beautiful handmade awareness beaded bracelet was given even more meaning with a personalized, hand stamped initial charm.

The design was created to complement her Crystal Allure Beaded Jewelry Custom HPV Awareness Bracelet previously purchased. The feature and focal of this design is the beaded strand of yellow Swarovski Crystals, yellow agate and glass beads centered between two sterling silver American flag block beads. To keep the focus on the message of the bracelet, the remainder of the design was kept subdued and finished with three charms, an awareness ribbon charm, a custom hand stamped initial charm and our signature jewelry tag.

Customer Shows Off Her Style with Crystal Allure Jewelry

One of our customers shows us that it doesn't matter where you work or what work you do, wearing Crystal Allure Beaded Jewelry Designs redefines your femininity!

We participated in an annual jewelry show last week, in support of the United Way through Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics (Johnson & Johnson). One of our favorite customers, Liz, stopped down and purchased our one of a kind Smoky Quartz Gemstone Bali Beaded Bracelet B147.

Liz was drawn to this beaded bracelet because of its' unique off-center design technique. She loved it so much that she wore it that day and is still wearing it. Liz works in a lab and was kind enough to send a picture of her wearing her beautiful handcrafted beaded bracelet.

Thank you for sharing Liz!

NEW Secret Garden Swarovski Pearl Charm Bracelet

New to Crystal Allure is the Secret Garden Swarovski Pearl Charm Bracelet (B175) featuring a lovely strand of Swarovski Pearls accented by Swarovski crystals and sterling rose beads. Finishing this beautiful design is an orchid quartz gemstone teardrop and green czech pressed glass leaf.

I only have to look to my own gardens for inspiration. We were only weeks into spring and our bleeding heart bushes, one each of the sides of our steps leading to our front door, were just sprouting faster than I could enjoy them. So I snapped some photos to show how beautiful they are and in return for admiring my beautiful garden I was inspired to create a secret garden bracelet! Enjoy!

Rhodonite vs. Rhodolite Gemstone

Garnet is a popular beaded jewelry component and has been used since the bronze age as an ornamental gemstone. The color range of garnets run from reds to greens.

Rhodonite Gemstone Beaded Necklace (N071)

Rhodonite

The rhodonite gemstone is a stone of grace, elegance and gets its' name from the Greek word for rose, rhodon.

Giving rhodonite its' distinctive appearance are black manganese oxide veins running through its' beautiful muted rose-pink color.

This uniqueness in its' coloring is why rhodonite is carved into beads and ornamental objects. In 18th century Russia, it was used extensively for decorating the Russian court.

Rhodonite is mined in the United States, Brazil, India, and Russia and is the official gem of Massachusetts.

Rhodolite

Rhodolite comes from the garnet family and is a mixed crystal of almandine and pyrope. It, too, gets its' name from the Greek word "rhodon", meaning rose.


Rhodolite Garnet Gemstone Beaded Bracelet (B124)

The rhodolite garnet generally features a magnificent velvety red with a fine violet or raspberry-red undertone. This "purple-red" color is the most sought after color for rhodolite.

This coloration and the commonly inclusion-free nature of the rhodolite garnet has led to it being used as a semi-precious gemstone.

Rhodolite is a beautiful stone that tends to be lighter in color than most other kinds of red garnet. It can easily be confused with ruby because of the similarity in color. However, rhodolite garnet is not artificially enhanced in any way.

Originally found in the USA, it now comes mainly from the gemstone mines in East Africa, India and Sri Lanka.

A fun-fact about rhodolite garnet:
At the auction of the Estate of Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis at Sotheby's in 1996, a striking cabochon garnet flower brooch from the 19th century was sold for $145,000.

NEW Chocolate Pearl Honey Jade Gemstone Beaded Bracelet

I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day with their dads! My husband and I actually spent father's day with my dad the weekend prior and then his dad this past saturday. Worked out perfect and other than the pouring rain this past saturday night, both days with our dads was great.

I took some time saturday morning to take some pictures of finished jewelry and was able to get one beaded bracelet posted. I'm a perfectionist and pictures have always been the one thing that is never perfect for me. Although I'm kinda likin' the black background -it just doesn't work with all of the jewelry. Sometimes you just gotta have a white background to showcase how beautiful the beads are!

So I take the picture of the bracelet below and I'm likin' it. Then I posted it and realize the picture for the complimentary pair of earrings, to this bracelet, isn't as nice as I once thought! When I took that picture I thought it was so great, now that the bracelet is pictured (and I'm even more knowledgeable on my camera) the earrings don't look as nice. Gotta fix that....

But for now, one of the new beaded bracelets posted is the Bronze Pearl Honey Jade Gemstone Beaded Bracelet. An alluring combination of chocolate-y freshwater pearls and warm honey jade gemstones, all accented with gold filled beads.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more new jewelry!
