Have you been looking for a romantic gift for your sweetheart this year? Maybe you haven’t started shopping yet, but one thing is for sure…jewelry is the way to go! The new Sweetheart Jewelry Collection is sure to have a little something that says “U R Mine” better than those stale heart shaped candies.

Featured Item: Be My Valentine Necklace

This necklace was inspired by a necklace that my Mom used to wear. I remember sitting in her lap admiring the puffed heart and it’s perfect shape!

I used 4mm round garnets and 4mm white freshwater pearls and hand wire wrapped them together (perfectly I might add!). This necklace measures 16-17″ in length, however if you need custom sizing please feel free to make a special request.

Knowing what necklace length is right for you can be hard to determine. Depending on your size, different necklaces may fall in completely different locations on you than on other women.

I recommend measuring the distance around your neck to know what your minimum is and then trying on standard sizes from there to get an idea of what is comfortable for you.

If you need an uncommon necklace length, we are happy to custom size Natural Beauty Jewelry when possible to accomodate your needs. Depending on the extent to which you need a size altered from its original, additional fees may apply. Just email us at info@naturalbeautyjewelry.com to request custom sizing options and information.

I recently designed this necklace and earrings using beautiful aquamarine stones and white freshwater pearls. I first presented the piece to a certain someone and they exclaimed, “It looks like an ocean wave!”… and what a perfect description.

When I tried on the necklace for the first time, it took on a life of its own and the two longer strands overlapped each other. This unique design was unintentional but a quality that myself and many people enjoy about it. It is a fairly new piece, but will be up on the website soon, so check back soon!

Do you have jewelry that you would love to wear except it is just a little bit too small for you? An easy and convenient solution is to purchase a chain extender that can be attached to any necklace or bracelet to make it larger. Depending on how much larger you want to make that piece of jewelry, you can purchase a 1″, 2″ or 3″ chain extender from Natural Beauty Jewelry and simply attach it to the clasp as pictured below. These chain extenders are sterling silver and easy to use!

Here is a new twist on an exciting design! I re-designed this necklace and earrings using Citrine, Peridot, Blue Howlite and a brite blue Turquoise. I also made the earrings so that they hang the opposite way from a small sterling silver hoop instead of facing forward with the filigree component used in the previous design.

Feel fresh and clean wearing this necklace and earrings designed especially for springtime!

This design is made with chips of multi-colored Tourmaline and white freshwater pearls. Each section is hand wire wrapped to sterling silver chain links. This piece can also be worn two ways, either wrapped around twice or as one long necklace (as pictured). The matching post earrings each have a cluster of Tourmaline chips hanging at the bottom.

This necklace is made with sterling silver chain and pink freshwater pearls. I am really excited about this design, because it can be worn two different ways. The first (which I like best) is looped around the neck twice as pictured. Or, if you want you can wear it as one long loop which is approximately 34″ long. I like the versatility of being able to change it up, so I think I am going to design a couple of different designs with the same functionality.
