Pendants in full swing!
Its kind of hard to believe that I've made 2 dozen of them already. Here's the whole collection so far.
I will be working on getting more of them listed in my shop over the next few days.

Bring on Spring!
A few weeks ago, I gave you a sneak peek at some of the changes I have in store for Sapphire Lizard Designs this spring. I am excited to be able to share more of those changes with you now.
The Full Bloom bouquets have begun to bloom. First, the custom order that started it all...the original Full Bloom bouquet:
Other bouquets that have bloomed since then...
And, as is the case with the Spring Flower Bouquets, these bouquets are also available customized to your specifics. Just drop by the shop and contact me about your ring today!
Sneak Peek
Since the day I released my Spring Floral Bouquets last year, I have receieved some fabulous feedback. Admittedly, I haven't sold nearly as many as I would have expected, but they're definitely a hot item. At shows they're one of the first things on my table to catch peoples attention. These bouquets are definitely a Sapphire Lizard signature item.
Over the next month or so, you will notice a few changes in my shop. I am phasing out most of my gemstone jewelry...necklaces in particular. The Simple Wisdom Collection will stay around and will likely change just a bit. Rings are going to become the major focus for this year.
Now here's the really good part. The Spring Floral Bouquets will continue to be available as custom orders or premade. BUT...some of the flowers will be in Full Bloom this spring. I will be making a new line of floral rings for the spring and they are bigger than ever. There will be more flowers and definitely more sparkle. Look for the Full Bloom line near the end of February!

Simple Wisdom Collection
This summer, I am working on creating a collection of necklaces that are a bit different than my usual styles. The pieces are more casual, everyday styles. (Which also means they're less expensive.) I have always been fond of jewelry and art pieces with inspirational words or phrases. As I thought about how to broaden my horizons with my jewelry, this seemed like a fitting direction.
Introducing the debut style of the Simple Wisdom Collection, the Love Necklace.
Coming up next in the Collection will be the Dream Necklace. I am targeting the release of the Dream Necklace this coming weekend. So, stop in, mark some favorites and come on back in a few days to see the next style.

Introducing the new fall line~ "Dreamy"
The time has finally come for me to introduce the first pieces of my fall line. First, I want to tell you a bit about what to expect.
The "Dreamy" line has been designed with rich shades of blue and splashes of purple, accented with creamy, natural colors. The "Dreamy" pieces have been created using lovely gemstones and Swarovski crystals and accented with sterling silver findings. Sodalite, Lapis Lazulis, Amethyst and Fluorite. Riverstone, Mother of Pearl and Aragonite. These are only the beginning.
I plan on listing the first few pieces from the "Dreamy" line in my Etsy shop tonight.
Fall/Winter Color Forecast
As much as conformity bugs me...I have given some thought to these colors. After a long car trip this weekend, I have combed my bead catalogs and planned my fall lines.
I have always been a fan of the blue/green shades like "Blue Jay", "Marine" and "Peacock". Quite honestly, this pallette of colors is wonderful. I plan to be working with a lot of blue this fall and winter. But I certainly will not be neglecting the golden and brown tones of the "Topaz", "Cream Soda", "Cornsilk" and "Cola".
I hope to be introducing my fall lines in early August.
