Gemstone Destash

Hi All. I want to be sure you know about my bead destash in my MomsArt shop. You'll find red and green aventurine (red pictured above) along with lots of other bead varieties.I love these yellow acrylic flower beads but I just never ended up using them...now YOU can!

And I've not heard of it since, but even liked the name of these stones..."bronzia". They have a very subtle gold flecking against deep brown stone. Beautiful...I DID use these, just not all of them.

So, come on over and shop for destash gemstones along with destash silver beads and clasps. You never know what you'll find there.

Silvery Moments

I've been loading my MomsArt shop with tons of sterling silver beads.  I've been busier than I have been in a long time and I love it, although, now that I am really working as opposed to listing here and then, I have to remind myself to take breaks or I get pooped!

I've got cones, spacers, headpins and bead caps.  It's a great mix, if I do say so myself, and digging through the ones I haven't seen in a long time has helped me fine tune what I think I would REALLY use with the way I design jewelry these days as opposed to (like when I first started) buying anything just because it is gorgeous.

Can you imagine what I am keeping if I'm not using components like you see here???  This is such a great cache, it's like I get to shop all over again while I thin out my bins!

 

Most of the silver is sterling from Bali, but I just started poking around in my Karen Hill Tribe stash from Thailand which has a higher concentrate of silver.  I'm able to set fantastic pricing because I've had these beads for a few years and they were purchased just before silver prices began to increase sharply.

I hope you come and see the great items, even if you aren't a buyer, but just to enjoy it as eye candy and to put a little zip in your day! 

Silver Destash

Ah, silver, wonderful silver.  I have plenty of drawers full of it.  I'm not using it like I planned, so I'm listing them in my silver SHOP on Etsy.  

I decided I might as well pass them on to someone who will actually USE them so it was quite fun selecting the ones I really couldn't part with as they inspired me to work with them again.

 

Can you believe the beads in these photos are what I'm NOT keeping?  Imagine the ones you'll see in my jewelry!  I bought these 2-3 years ago when silver was quite a bit less expensive, so these sets are really good deals.  You can see more photos and details HERE.
