Apatite Earrings
PATERNOSTRI EARRINGS: Earrings are a delight to wear every day. They are a favorite part of my wardrobe! Look for earrings of all sizes and stones, from artistic hoops, to pricey gems in dazzling colors!
I use sterling silver charms and sometimes 14k ear wires. A combination of several color gemstones such as lemon citrine and iolite catch the eye and put sparkle in your day. There are many other gems available for a color that you prefer.
Paternostri Earrings are affordable and interesting, not the usual pearl hanging from an ear wire. Most earrings are sterling or vermeil, as the price of 14k gold and silver continues to rise. Many of the ear wires are larger contemporary half hoops that really set off semi-precious gems.
Labradorite, Keishi Pearl and Hill Tribe Charms
PATERNOSTRI BRACELETS: A collection of sterling silver, vermeil, gold-filled or pewter bracelets on chain, wire or leather. Pewter is a new addition for budget-minded jewelry lovers who want the sterling look without a tarnish or a high cost. Pewter beads are lightweight, nickel and lead free and come in a variety of interesting designs.
Sterling, preferred by many customers for it’s glow and heft, matches beautifully with casual or dressy wear. The sterling bracelet at left, includes large, lustrous keishi pearls and Hill Tribe silver charms. Prices in silver and gold have skyrocketed, so keep that in mind when buying your silver jewelry. Always keep your silver bracelets in small plastic bags to keep it from tarnishing, unless you prefer that look.
Chalcedony and Apatite
PATERNOSTRI NECKLACES: A necklace completes a beautiful dress or suit for office or out on the town. I always notice what news anchors wear on television to get an idea of what’s hot right now. Large gems, pearls and stones are in fashion, so be sure to include several in your collection! Two and three strand necklaces take longer to make and include more material. A large stone and pearl choker style might do the trick for less.
Necklaces consist of twice the about of beads and gems that as in bracelets. Depend on them to cost roughly twice the price of bracelets. I do offer pendant style necklaces as well, as a way to get a chic look without the high price. Necklaces can either be dainty high price gems or larger less expensive stones that pack a lot of punch!
