These necklaces are sooo pretty, they're real (genuine) amber, jasper, crystal, and semi precious stones (gemstones) such as Turquoise and Tiger eye.

What is a gemstone?

A gemstone or gem (also called a precious or semi-precious stone, or jewel) is a piece of attractive mineral, which—when cut and polished—is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However certain rocks, (such as lapis-lazuli) and organic materials (such asamber or jet) are not minerals, but are still used for jewelry, and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their lustre or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone.

Here is a little bit more about Tiger Eye gemstone:

Welcome Post!

Hello my dear girls!

With this post, I'd like to give you a big Welcome to my new blog!

So many of you showed a great interest in my handmade jewellery, asking me questions about whether I could show you more detailed pics of it, asking me if it was available for sale...asking me to update you regularly on the new pieces that I make...

That's why I decided to create this blog, and it's going to be dedicated exclusively to my jewellery.

I'll post here regularly with pics and info on the jewellery that I currently have available, and update you on the new pieces that I just made!

I hope this is going to be fun for both of us& that you'll like visiting this place...where colourful beeds& my ideas meet...& the jewellery is born. :)

I'll also tell you more about what inspired me to do a certain piece of jewellery, as every single item has a little story behind, and when it comes to my jewellery- I believe it's important to tell it!

That's what makes it more special & gives it "a soul".

Some of the pieces that I have made are unique, a one piece only, ideal if you're the person who likes to have a unique piece of jewellery. I will always state whether a certain piece of jewellery is unique and if so, you'll have my guarantee that I won't make other exact same piece.

B-deas is my line of jewellery, I hope you'll like it, maybe even decide to purchase something, and most importantly, that you'll keep comming back to this blog& keep exploring it, checking out my new creations!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your interest& support!

xoxo,

Sonja
