wmicro faceted emerald green onyx hoops

Remember i mentioned the hoops & pendant i had hand wired in the signature teresat style the other day? the very same set the divine ms M had coveted the moment she saw them?! well here they are -photgraphed against the shrubbery!  Not as fabulously photo-ed as those by ms courtney steffens - photographer extraordinaire - but i think you get the gist!  so here we have in the first photo, medium (about one & half inch) hoops, mico-faceted emerald green onyx are hand wired with gold filled wire.  Pretty tiny faceted beads of about 3mm.  This onyx is absolutely dazzling 'in person' as you say; the 'micro' part of faceting means that the cutting/faceting of each individual bead is very precisely done.  the result is a beautiful shine, where each bead reflects light off each angle of the faceted angle.  As i personally prefer earrings that dangle, i always tend to design my first pair in a longer style; the pair shown measures about 2 inches.  Many of my customers prefer them with say, one link above the hoop, attached to an earwire or post. Or perhaps a shorter chain to make the length say, 1 and half inch.

the second picture shows the earrings with matching circle 'O' pendant.  This pendant is shown on a long (32") gold filled chain.  at times, i have also attached this the 'O'  pendant to a 17 inch chain which lies with dramatic effect, below the collar bone.  the teresat.com online store will soon feature these signature pieces in a variety of colors.  The 'O' pendant looks fabulous layered in 2 or 3 pieces, showing different colors.  I mainly use precious rondelles such as emerald, sapphire, ruby or semi-precious such as labradorite, moonstone, smoky quartz, peridot... the list is endless.  Great idea for birthday month colors; a gift for a friend or yourself.  Thank you for recent orders through the teresat.com online store. please pass the good news on to your galpals and friends. it is much appreciated! enjoy your weekend - all of you!

teresat.com Launched today!

This charming 'evitation' was sent to a select group of loyal lady fans of teresat custom jewelry pieces. Let's hope the following find something they love or at least - don't already have.  Worse, let us pray online squabbles do not ensue, as a result of one-of-a-kind pieces are spotted by one - and not the other.  Minor frets aside and truth to say -  there are sure to be enough chic, fun, trendworthy pieces to make everyone feel special and happy.  And if not - teresat will have to work a little bit harder to make absolutely sure!
teresat visited one of her most loyal lady fans today to deliver the Good News of todays launch.  she wore one of her own signature hand wire wrapped 'O' earrings and matching pendant, in the most divine sparkling tiny, green, faceted onyx.  Needless to say and as usual, the divine Ms M wanted them straight away!  but teresat hadn't even photographed them for the rest of you yet - so she will have to wait - a little while anyway! i will try to show them to you tomorrow at latest.  they really are gemmily gorgeous!  Ms M understood and order was restored.  phew!  i can't tell you how many abfab pieces have been picked off in the past by clamoring devotees,even  before teresat can get them in front of a camera. Not to worry - teresat now makes sure everything she creates gets in front of the camera first.  we all need to share the love.  right?!

Vision in Green Earrings - About Uvarovite

As seen on the beautiful Ms N

Now if you took a moment to take a peek at the brand spanking new www.TeresaT.com store and its contents, you might have come across a pretty unusual pair of earrings i have christened 'Vision in Green' - yeah, i know - but it was either that or Green Goddess ... anyhow, i thought i would give you a little background to these compellingly attractive and rarely seen gems.  The'official' name of this gem  is Uvarovite Garnet.  It is a rare gem mined in eastern europe; often as here,  a mesmerizing emerald green in color. It was named after Count S S Uvarov back in the 1700s, a Russian statesman and ardent collector of mined minerals. Yes! teresat does romance too!   I have described it as 'drusy' as this is a description used for a natural surface coating of fine crystals that sparkle. You will actually find lots of drusy sparkle in my store, as i adore its other worldy and absolutely natural glitter and sparkle.  Note for example, the Galaxy, drusy agate earrings - absolutely fabulous! Aside from the rarity of Uvarovite, a further reason for its high cost is that the material must be cut by hand in order to follow the shape of the crsytals.  These emerald colored beauties are usually freeform - hence the unusual shape when cut.  The pair shown in the store are the only pair available at the moment. I am always on the look out for fab quality uvarovite and there will certainly be more pieces of this amazing material, as i find it.
Lastly - if any of you come up with a more desirable moniker (name) than 'Vision in Green' - teresat will consider using it. Suggestions please!
