Greetings,

I am new to blogging and discovered that the photos I loaded yesterday were reversed. Therefore the narratives accompanying yesterday's pictures may seem disconnected. Reading the oldest entry before the next oldest entry may be more understandable. Thanks for your patience! Susan

I used both stainless steel and copper wire to create the bail on this cute Crazy Lace Agate heart. There also are copper lined glass beads spaced with the Turquoise beads on the magnetic wrap and earrings.

Oh, regal Titanium! The rainbow and other colors are naturally created by reflections of the material wave lengths when it is exposed to air and light. This Titanium pendant dances with a lot of the turquoise shades, and is harmonized with bright blue topaz and pearls. 

Brazilian Agate is wonderfully beautiful. When held up to any light, the translucent waves in this donut pendant suddenly are apparent. The shape of the Aventurine beads is a good match for some of the smaller pendant bails.

This set was created especially for the fall. The leaf colors are very vivid, and I added a large sterling bail. Unakite is the state stone of Virginia. It boasts greens, oranges, and peaches. The accent beads in this piece fall into the peaches range.

To wear as a necklace, first open up the length of the magnetic wrap jewelry, and place it behind your neck. The two sides will automatically fall together into a bolo neck tie style, Show here, the two sides are folded around to the desired wearing length. Once the first side is magnetically fastened, the bail or opening of the pendant is threaded through the second side, before setting the second side into place. Easy as pie!

Mother Nature creates rocks and gems in so many colors! I searched a long time before finding the oval Blue Brazilian Agate pendant which is featured with blue and opalite beads. Here the table top magnetic wraps are shown in either bracelet or anklet positions. The magnetic hematite beads automatically stick beside each other, so the combinations to be created with these sets can match the imagination of the wearer. 

After making, wearing, and selling my jewelry for a few years, I am now specializing in unique magnetic wraps, with matching earrings, and offering a variety of pendants that can be worn alone, as well as with the matching sets.

Hello,

I am Susan Thomas, owner of Earth Rock Designs Jewelry.  As a young child I identified with the beautiful rocks and gemstones that "Mother Earth" gives us. Forget the children's china collection, my china cabinet adorned a collection of rocks! Field trip purchases, always rocks or gemstones. My favorite childhood treasure, a Rose Rock from Arizona, that my Grandmother Thomas "gifted" me with. Her descriptions of finding this rock in the Painted Desert, are among the my most precious memories of childhood. 

Now, I continue to connect with the treasures of Mother Nature.
