Be Mine!
The Gem Gals are having a sale. 15% OFF every stone in our Etsy shop.
Of course our Sneak Peekers get an additional 5% OFF during the sale~'cause they're the Bees Knees!
Let us tempt you with some hammer faceted stones.
Theses are SO HOT right now, we can't keep them in stock.
You will love working with these! Such an organic look and feel, they will definitely feed the creativity monster stirring in you.
Now if those aren't enough to tempt you, well we have a shipment due any day of delicious Chalcedony, MMMMystics and lots of new rondelles (rutilated rondelles too!)
We'll be adding gemmies throughout the sale which runs until Cupids hits someone with his bow & arrow, so be sure to check the shop often.
Speaking of VD *wink* check out this post on Handmade business and Valentines.
Interesting!

Sneak Peek Sale now through May 28th!
We have a special just for our "Sneak Peekers" ▬► June Birthstones are 20% OFF now through May 28th and all other yummy stones in our shop ship for FREE!! Gems eligible for the 20% OFF sale are: Pearls, Moonstone, Agate and all white or purple color yummies.
What? Don't have the special discount code?! Get in on exclusive specials by jumping over to the sidebar and joining our Sneak Peek mailing list.
Found this interesting info on Gemstone.org:
Most gem scholars agree that the tradition of birthstones arose from the Breastplate of Aaron: a ceremonial religious garment set with twelve gemstones that represented the twelve tribes of Israel and also corresponded with the twelve signs of the zodiac and the twelve months of the year.
Because ancient people did not always classify gemstones by mineral species like we do, there is some debate about which gemstones were set in the breastplate and why. Because of this, different cultures around the world have developed different birth stone lists. The modern day list that you know is only the most recent list: some older lists still exist. Some also argue that the proper way to assign gemstones is according to astrological sign and not month.

Delicious Jewelry Designer Sheilah Of Ssheilah jewelry & accessories
Desert Ironwood and Elk Antler Jewelry -- and More
A bit about Sheilah:
We love love making things, going places and eating great food. We're currently in Cheyenne, Wyoming - we love the Front Range and all it has to offer, everything from excellent coffee in downtown Denver to hiking in the Snowies to following dinosaur tracks in the Black Hills.
Much of our jewelry is made with nickel-silver, an alloy of nickel, zinc and copper that has a deep sheen and polishes to a high gleam. We also use several composite minerals, such as malachite, red jasper and onyx.
Sunset in Wyoming - Necklace
Spring Storm Necklace
We use ground-harvested western elk antler in some of our jewelry as well. Elk shed their antlers every year in the late fall as part of their natural mating cycle. People in Wyoming and other western states wander through the wilderness picking up the dropped antlers to be used for jewelry, furniture and decorations.
Western Elk Antler Pendant Earrings
Men's Western Elk Antler Ear Stud
Desert Ironwood is one of the rarest and most beautiful hardwoods in North America. Desert ironwood is similar to cats-eye stone in its translucency and has a lovely, intricate grain. The nickel-silver pattern in the jewelry is hand-inlaid into the ironwood.
Ankle Bracelet Made of Desert Ironwood Inlaid with Nickel Silver

Who "We" are:
Amber Bryce
The baby that was delivered on Halloween by Dr. Harley Grim. No joke. All hospital personnel attending the birth were dressed for the occasion!
The preschooler who called cemeteries god's garden, butterflies-flutterbys and steam from our local nuclear plant...cloud makers.
The grade school child who refused to "stay inside the lines & use the right colors!"
The teenager who's creative, unique and often rebellious ways had me at school more than once. Mostly to fight for her right not to fit into a mold.
Procurer, photographer and lister of all the delicious gems for our shop.
#1 daughter, sister, mother, wife, writer, artist, jewelry artisan and sole owner of Blue Scarab Jewelry.
Oh and a personal note: she has lots of tattoos. Some she did herself.
You can find here hanging around Facebook here and here
Teri Lindenschmidt
I know that is a mouth full. I get-so you are..."Linda Schmidt?" alot. It's hell-o trying to put that into forms online. It is often rejected. What can I say...Married into it.
Happy escapee of the corporate world. 2 yrs in June!
Cat lover & advocate for TNR (trap neuter return)
Bug fancier. Not all, just spiders and such.
Thrift shop lover times two.
Breast cancer survivor. (fingers still crossed)
Organizer of beads, shipper and book keeper for all the delicious gems in our shop.
#1 Mother, grandmother, stepmother, wife, backpacker, splunker sorta, kayaker, nature lover and all around outdoorsy kinda green person.
CTO(chief twitter offical) for Gemalicious Beads
And on a personal note: I have 1 tattoo that I panic about from time to time. It's a commitment issue.
*Whew* now that you know us better...
And in sincere appreciation for all the support that kept us in business for the past year, we've decided to GIVE AWAY 365 BEADS & GEMS. Seriously.
On January 15th we will post here a fantastic giveaway!!!
