Faceted Oregon Sunstone beadcage pendant

Here's yet another champagne Oregon Sunstone version of the classic tennis bracelet every woman needs in their jewelry box. But what exactly is a tennis bracelet, and why do we call them that? It seems the dainty gemstone bracelets, most commonly associated with diamonds, were called eternity bracelets until the late 1970s, when tennis star Chris Evert was known to wear this type of bracelet while playing. As a matter of fact, in 1978, while playing in an early round of the US Open, her bracelet broke in the middle of a match, and play was suspended until it was found. Soon, jewelers started referring to them as tennis bracelets, and women began wearing them in much less formal settings than ever before. Of course, a lot of work goes into a tennis bracelet, each stone needs to be set, and each piece is linked together to make this beautiful fashion accessory. But you don't need to have sports star money to afford an Oregon Sunstone tennis bracelet. This lavish bracelet featuring 24 7x5 oval Oregon Sunstones is available on my website. The total length is 7.5 inches. It's set in sterling silver with a rhodium plating to keep it shining and beautiful without a lot of work.

Here's a gorgeous pair of earrings featuring shimmerimg Oregon Sunstone, moonstone, Oregon Fire Opal and garnet beads on hand made sterling silver wire settings. Each one painstakingly made, each set of my beaded earrings are slightly different making each pair a work off art. They are a perfect gift for your mom, your wife or girlfriend, or just a a special indulgance for yourself.

These Oregon Sunstone stud earrings are simple and beautiful. Each stone measures 4mm, and the weight is about 1/2ct for each set. The stones have beautiful "schiller," which is the word for the microscopic bits of copper inside the stone that give it that dazzling shine. They're set in sterling silver with a six prong setting, so very secure and stylish, easy to wear in any location on your ear. Keep in mind that these are from natural stone, and while we make every effort to match, sometimes it may not be "perfect." We're sure whether you're buying these for yourself or as a gift, they will give years of delight in wearing them.
