Free Rasta Bracelet Or Ankle Bracelet Giveaway!

Hello beautiful people! I've been quite busy and now I'm a couple of days late in announcing the winner of the July giveaway, which was the "Turquoise Pendant Necklace". The lucky lady was Lannie P. Please accept my apologies for the lag time...

Now it's time to let you know about the "JG Beaded Jewelry June Giveaway"! Since the weather is calling for less clothing and our wrists and ankles get to see the light of day, I'll be giving away a Rasta Bracelet or Rasta Ankle Bracelet to someone by "random draw". It will be entirely up to the winner to choose which they prefer. Let me tell you a little about the Rasta Jewelry - it is made with beautiful black onyx gemstones, red/yellow/green glass beads, silver lobster clasp, soldered closed jump ring (to keep from splitting open and possibly falling off!). I will custom make this item for you to your desired size to ensure proper fitting! If the winner chooses an anklet, I can also add an extension chain so that the size is adjustable.

I have many more styles of rasta bracelets, ankle bracelets and necklaces on my website JGBeadedJewelry.com so feel free to check them out. Most can be custom sized, so don't hesitate to ask!

My best to you and yours,
Sharon

Pinterest Awareness

What's all the craze about Pinterest you say?
Call me a pin-head, but I like to have the ability to look up recipes, photographs, craft ideas and otherwise entertaining things quickly without having to look through millions of websites through a search engine. It's a great way to find websites that you may never stumble upon otherwise and easy to share your passions and cool finds.
Many independent artists and big companies have jumped on board to promote their products, although that is not supposed to be the objective. If you are trying to promote yourself, keep in mind that you should also have other "boards" about things that appeal to you. If you only upload only your items for sale, you may not get very many followers and your friends who follow you out of love just might begin to get annoyed. At least on Facebook they can hide your page without you knowing or hurting your feelings but not on Pinterest. So, word to the wise, don't go overboard.
Most of the bloggers are writing about copyright infringement, but we've heard it over and over. So...my question is how long it will take for the mean horrible people to add malicious links to images that will have you screaming about viruses on your computer?! We all know about viruses on Facebook and you have to be smart enough not to click on things that just don't seem right or have an interesting catch phrase. There are already images on Pinterest that have links bringing you to some random other product to buy and it is just frustrating. Don't these people have anything better to do with their time? I just don't get it.
Needless to say - I'm feeling a little weary about clicking on images of interest on Pinterest.
Oh, and if you want to see what I've spent my valuable time doing - you can find me here: http://pinterest.com/jgbeads

Happy Pinning!

Bloodstone is the March Birthstone

Bloodstone is one of the birthstones for March (along with aquamarine) and means "sun turning" in Greek. From what I gather from other rock hounds, it is a very overlooked stone although jewelry made from bloodstone is worn by both men and women due to the earthy color. The deep-green chalcedony (which is a form of cryptocrystalline quartz) is flecked with red spots which resemble blood. Bloodstone is also called heliotrope and is mined in the United States, Brazil, Australia, China and India. It is believed that bloodstone has many healing properties such as aiding in poor blood circulation, helps to mend a broken heart, heightens creativity and brings good luck. Quality bloodstone does not always make it to the jewelry market as finely powdered bloodstone is used to made traditional medicines in India as well as other places to this day. Bloodstone is associated with the zodiac signs Aries, Pisces and Scorpio.

Giveaway from JG Beaded Jewelry - Crystal and Mood Bead Sun Catcher

Welcome to March! That means it's time for another giveaway from JG Beaded Jewelry.
Perhaps the first thing in order is to announce that  Melissa G. was the "February Giveaway" winner of the Mood Bead Crystal Suncatcher and she won through Facebook.
Onto the next announcement on the list...
The March Giveaway item is a stunning rearview mirror crystal light catcher! These have been very popular with the winners, so why not keep giving them away?! This one is a favorite of mine and is made with a quality mood bead in the middle that has thermo-sensitive liquid crystals that change color with the temperature. You'll be amazed at the range of colors -  I just love them and hope you will too! The mood bead is surrounded by Austrian Swarovski crystals in the colors of aurora borealis amethyst purple, green tourmaline and topaz. The silver rice and daisy shaped beads are metal and everything is wire wrapped together with sturdy silver wire. There is a loop on top and stretch cord is attached so you can easily hang it in your vehicle. It is absolutely perfect for the rearview mirror, but can be hung anywhere that makes you happy!
