What?! giving away 500+ beads & gems...so many, we lost count!!

If you're wondering why we are giving away 500+ beads & gems here's the whole truth.

I'm calling her out. She owns Blue Scarab Jewelry & has been collecting gems for years. In June she decided to organize her studio & all of the sudden "WE" owned a mountain of homeless but beautiful stones.  The Mt McKinley of beads!

Delicious Jewelry Designer Sharon Burgess

"I have been designing and crafting jewelry for over 30 years. My latest passion is creating earrings with gemstone beads, sterling silver, and gold filled wire. Each piece in my shop has been carefully designed and handmade by me.

Solar Quartz - Tsavorite Garnet - White Topaz Earrings

I use only high quality metals and stones in my work. I love to create with unusual and rare gemstones and make an effort to seek them out. Occasionally I will find a glass bead that I can't resist, and it might find its way into one of my pieces.

Lemon Twist - Quartz, Oregon Sunstone, Gaspeite Earrings

Red Garnet Earrings

About two years ago I started experimenting with silver wire and gemstone beads, and I have fallen in love with this art form. I had forgotten how much fun it is to start a project on my own, and complete every step of it along the way, until I have created something unique and one of a kind.
I don't often duplicate a piece, preferring to keep each pair of earrings or necklace unique, just like you. If you buy something from me, you can be 99% sure that I won't make another one like it unless you specifically ask for matching pieces for your sisters, friends, bridesmaids, etc!"

I Heart You - Onyx and Sterling Silver Necklace

Prasiolite Pendant Necklace

Winter Blues - Blue Kyanite Earrings - Clusters

 Sharon made these earrings with her first bead buy at Gemalicious Beads. 
The kyanite worked beautifully into a custom order she got only days after purchasing. 
Love a happy ending!
