We wrote to our artisans several weeks ago with this challenge…

Dear Artisans,

We’re looking to discover some new designs for our customers. The “as photographed” service is a big hit because everyone can see exactly what they are getting, which is much better than the department stores or high priced jewelry catalogs. We want something really different, something that will show off the autumn colors and, because our economy is not all that great, we need to be able to offer a very low price.

The response from our artisans is terrific!

You’ll find our latest designs made of sterling silver (925 hallmark stamp) with details of copper and brass. The natural gemstones are great for the season and the prices can’t be beat.

Enter coupon code AUTM22 at check out to get your new sterling silver jewelry with the additional savings. Your price will be about $16. 683 pieces available.

You might have heard about the Larimar stone. If you are not aware of this stone then you might require an introduction about it. This stone is one of the most beautiful stones that are available these days. This stone is not only beautiful but it is also quite rare.

This stone originates in the Caribbean. The stones were discovered in the mid seventies. It needs to be mined from the deep volcanic mountains. It is usually mined with the help of the tools and the natives are responsible for mining the precious stone.

There are different kinds of Larimar products available in the market. But these stones are quite costly and this is the reason why lots of people cannot afford this product. Larimar jewelry has become very popular in the market these days.

The best use of the stone is with silver. You might be overwhelmed to see the external beauty of the stone but you must also learn about the other internal beauties present in the stone. This stone really has some healing properties.

The appearance of the stone is such that you will fall in love with it once you see it. There are certain other factors that you need to know about this kind of jewelry. It can help you decrease any kind of limitation you have.

It will help you provide a lot of peace in your mind. There are different kinds of jewelries that are created with the help of these stones. You can either get a pendant or a ring for yourself. The size of the stones varies from jewelry to the other.

Each time you remove your jewelry, wipe the chain off with a lint-free polishing cloth. If you’ve been wearing cologne or make-up, rinse the chain with water, pat dry and then use a polishing cloth. Cleaning off fingerprints, skin oils and surface dirt is a great day to day maintenance routine. Keep your jewelry in an airtight Ziploc bag with an anti-tarnish strip. These strips absorb moisture and neutralize gases in the air that produce tarnish.

Store each jewelry item separately to avoid scratching, a softer stone/pearl, with a harder stone or metal. Use a polishing cloth for gems, stones and pearls and clean them after each wear.

New Fall 2011 Sterling Silver Jewelry Designs Bring Lower Prices and Trendy Looks

Available for the first time by the end of September (be sure you’ve joined our email newsletter to learn exactly when).

Below are some photos that are right off the shop floor of one of our jewelry artisans. The first impression I get is simply, "WOW!"

These pendants are made from natural gemstones, handcut and polished. The metal is made from pure 925 sterling silver with the 925 hallmark stamp applied. The design is enhanced with a golden layer of polished brass to bring in more depth and character. Our initial offer of these designs will be about 200 pieces from you to choose. With the different textures of gemstones that we like to use, each item will be photographed so you’ll be receiving the exact one as shown in the photo.

While these new sterling silver designs are simply great, there’s one more BIG announcement…

Price range for you is $10-$12!!!

Again, be sure you’ve joined our email newsletter for the big announcement during the next week.
