I’m an April baby so I know diamond is the gemstone, but when I’m jewelry making for the rest of the months, that’s when I get stuck! I thought it would be helpful to post a birthstone guide for all of you handmade jewelry buffs! Or anyone thinking of getting a little something for their sweeties birth month!

Birthstone Guide:

Spetember: Sapphire
October: Opal or Tourmaline

Pictured Below is a sterling silver handmade rose (October) swarovski crystal bracelet. Swaroski crystal is great to work with, it comes in all kinds of different shapes, sizes and colors! All you just need to suppy your imagination!
