Blog Shop!

Thank you to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting this new feature of Blog Shop.

As a young child I loooooved jewellery.  I was fascinated with it.  How it sparkled, how you felt so grownup wearing it.  So now I have my own little on-line jewellery shop.  I hand stamp sterling silver creating personalized pieces of jewellery.  I also make beaded necklaces and bracelets using sterling silver and genuine gemstone.

So lets go shopping!

This week it is beaded bracelets with a sterling silver disc hand stamped with the initial of your choice.

Handmade Sterling Silver Sodalite Bracelet - Shantell

Sodalite with wonderful variations of blue, black, white cut into 20mmx30mm beads. I call them chiclets because they remind me of chiclets on steriods. I've accented each bead with 3mm sterling silver beads. Each is handwrapped with Argentium sterling silver wire. This bracelet easily and securely closes with a sterling silver infinity lobster clasp. A substantial bracelet that fits a 7½" wrist. If you need the length adjusted, just let me know. When I do shows, this is my best selling bracelet. Everyone has to pick it up, touch it, try it on. I've had some ladies walk away and then come flying back because they just have to have it! I couldn't get the stones for a while, but on my last trip to my supplier's they had 2 strands. So I scooped them up.

Sodalite Beads: 1¼" long x 3/4"wide
Sterling Silver Beads: 3mm diameter

All Gracie Jewellery is handmade in my smoke and pet free studio and comes with its own storage pouch.

*Argentium Sterling Silver is sterling silver with less of the copper alloy. Copper is what makes sterling silver tarnish. Argentium is 92.5% pure silver with the balance a mix of germanium and copper. This makes Argentium silver harder, brighter and more highly tarnish resistant than traditional sterling silver.

Pink Saturday July 4

The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice. You'll find more at USFlag.org



The Star Spangled Banner was composed by Francis Scott Key, "In Defense of Fort McHenry" in September 1814. Congress proclaimed it the U.S. National Anthem in 1931

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Flag draped from the roof of the Pentagon

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause. it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
