Fezelry Jewelry Designs Packaging, Pretty with a Purpose

I get this question a lot..

"What is this little white/black piece of paper in my jewelry pouch?!"

Everything has a purpose in the Fezelry packaging right down to the strange little black or white seemingly odd pieces of paper. So what are they? They are anti-tarnish strips. Because all Fezelry Jewelry is made using gemstones and sterling silver we go through great lengths to ensure you can enjoy your jewelry for a lifetime.
Sterling silver is beautiful and durable but it does have a tendency to tarnish over time, these anti- tarnish strips are designed to prevent this. As long as you follow the instructions listed on the back of every "Fezelry Care Card," included in each pouch, your jewelry will remain beautiful and last a life time.

Fezelry Jewelry Designs packaging.. pretty with a purpose.

The Art of Redesign...(A giant piece of Amethyst locked in a drawer finds its purpose)

A new redesign project liberates this 12ct (approx) piece of awesome Amethyst from a dark dresser drawer! I was so thrilled when my client announced she was liberating the piece into my hands for a redesign!

This giant and beautiful piece of Amethyst was hiding my client’s dresser drawer!
It weighs in at approx 10-12 cts!

The gemstone is a lovely faceted Amethyst drop that just needed a little TLC it has many inclusions that give it a great deal of character, for me it was love a first sight. At our consultation we discussed what this piece might become.

Because it is already drilled and immediately yelled focal piece my suggestion was a bracelet or a necklace of course, it would be paired with something completely opposite and unexpected. This was definitely a collaborative effort because, my make up artist friend was there and suggested something green.. Awesome idea!


This is the end result....

I selected the peacock green fresh water pearls, though they are primarily green, they have deep purple undertones.











Amethyst and Fresh water Pearls meet..



















The Finished piece .. the purple Amethyst blends wonderfully with the Peacock green pearls since they have a purple undertone that color is picked up and is enhanced by the pendant.














About Amethyst:

Amethyst is one of several gem quartz varieties; it appears in a various shades of purple.
Amethyst is found in many areas, including Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Africa, and Russia.
In the United States, Amethyst can be found in Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Maine, and even New Jersey. It is readily available and relatively affordable, if you are a February baby, congrats this is your birthstone!

In folklore and mythology amethyst has many supernatural powers:
Amethyst purportedly brings luck, ensures constancy, protects against magic, prevents home-sickness, and (though I can't confirm or deny) ... it is said it protects against drunkenness. :o)
