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.

Where It Found? http://handtradescommunity.com/blog/2011/03/07/what-is-zircon-gemstone-where-it-found/ http://handtradescommunity.com/blog/2011/03/07/what-is-zircon-gemstone-where-it-found/#comments Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:23:43 +0000 Hand Trades http://handtradescommunity.com/blog/?p=781 A silicate of zirconium, this mineral occurs in different colours or may be colourless, the latter often being referred to as the poor man’s diamond. In fact, zircon tends to be rather dim and is only used for inexpensive jewelry.

It is widely distributed throughout Ceylon, India and Madagascar, but is not a good investment as it is often adulterated and may be the cause of confusion. Moreover, it is fragile and easily turns cloudy.

      All Necklaces on SALEThere’s something extra special about a
      necklace.  It’s the one piece of jewelry that always seems to stand
      out.  If someone is looking at you, it’s your necklace they’re
      admiring.  Earrings are often hidden by your hair, rings and bracelets are
      down around your hands.  The problem is,       handcrafted sterling silver necklaces are
      expensive – except at Hand Trades.
