Thomas Sabo Gleam, Glimmer, Shimmer!

According to Vogue and other important fashion magazines, gold is back in fashion. Of course, I don't think that

it was ever out! I love Thomas Sabo gleam of gold, and while I will concede that there are certain gemstones that

are best served by Thomas Sabo Love Charm or white gold, (think rose quartz) I generally prefer my own jewelry

to be gold or a mixture of silver and gold.
One of my favorite combinations is lapis, carnelian, and turquoise; all of these gemstones look great with silver

(although lapis always looks better with gold), but put them all together and you've just got to have yellow gold

to match the richness of the colours! Above, a Thomas Sabo bracelet with lapis, carnelian, and turquoise accented

with 14 karat goldfilled elements (with the exception of the toggle which is vermeil), and below, the matching

necklace and Thomas

Sabo Heart Key
.
Above is a charm bracelet using vintage lucite flower beads and Swarovski crystals. I used to make different

versions of these quite often, but they can take an extraordinary amount of time to make. They catch the light

wonderfully.
Below is the shimmer of labradorite - a favorite stone. This Thomas Sabo bracelet has very good flash that is

accentuated by, believe it or not, tanzanite Swarovski crystals. Although the mixture may sound unlikely, it is

one that works.
And because it is November, below are two more citrine pieces: a citrine bracelet with the addition of apatite,

and a pair of citrine earrings that hang from sterling THOMAS SABO Daisy Pendant with citrine cabochons.
