EotW: Demelza

The new Earrings of the Week are the delicate Demelza earrings. Named after a character from the Harry Potter books (just like the Romilda), they feature tiny smoky quartzes and olive tourmalines above unusual kite-shaped beer quartzes:


In other news, the craft fair props and supplies are almost all packed away, which means it is time to refocus on the shop. I am working on two custom modifications and will be posting the Carissa, Jen, and Ulla soon.

Don't forget the free shipping deal during Celebration Week expires after tomorrow! The deal applies to shipping to anywhere in the world whether it is to Calgary or Stone Town.

EotW: Ursula

Last week's Earrings of the Week featured the Nola and this week the special is for the Ursula. It has a cluster of peach aventurine, pink and yellow tourmaline, and jade in between garnet and ruby fuschite at the top and purple jade at the bottom. Now that is an unstoppable combination!

EotW: Kirsten

The latest EotW is an intricate pair of earrings with seed pearls, petal pearls, round pearls, rose quartz, morganite, and chalcedony. The clustered beads are connected with ball-end headpins to add a shiny silver look. Perfect for a wedding or a fancy evening out! Here is the Kirsten:

EotW: Lorna

It's Sunday, which means a new pair of earrings is being featured for the EotW promotion. This week's special is the Lorna and it has beautiful colours inspired by fall foliage. The stones are spessartite, a variety of garnet, and graduated shades of brown tourmaline.


I have been busy in the workshop lately and have several creations finished. One of them is a pair of earrings for a friend's birthday - the Zadie has a small cluster of iolite, hematite, smoky quartz, and champagne diamonds dangling on a fancy chain. The other creations will be posted in the shop in the next few weeks and include the April (pink topaz, peridot, amethyst, and smoky quartz) and the Celeste (aquamarine and pearls). I had plans to make something with my mystic pink quartzes, to be named Monique after my friend's baby daughter, but got sidetracked by some green tourmalines yesterday.

Easter sale and EotW: Ivana

There is a surprise Easter sale at the shop and it is only from Friday (today) until Monday. All of the necklaces are $10 off for a short amount of time so if you have had your eye on something for a while, now is the time to get it! All necklaces purchased during this period will earn two entries in the gift certificate draw at the end of the year so why not check out the Dagmara, the Heather, or one of the others?

Meanwhile, it is almost the end of the week, which means a new pair of earrings will be announced as the EotW in two days. Before that happens, the currently featured pair, the Ivana, will also earn double the entries in the gift certificate draw:

EotW: Bobbie

The three items featured at my Etsy shop at aileen.etsy.com tend to be colour coordinated and this week's selection is no different. Chosen for their beautiful blue colour are the Wellesley earrings, the Rhiannon necklace, and the Bobbie earrings, which also happens to be the Earrings of the Week. The design has three faceted blue agate beads plus several short lengths of chain. Check out the earrings:

EotW: Joanie

Last week's EotW was Chelsea and this week's special is Joanie. Normally $50, they are $45 until Saturday, March 22nd. The stones are pink topaz, pink tourmaline, citrine, and morganite.

EotW: Talisa

The latest earrings of the week are the Talisa. The highlights are the vivid blue apatites that call to mind the clear blue waters of the Caribbean, but the unusual shape of the sterling connectors is not to be missed either. Regularly $25, the EotW price for the Talisa earrings is $22.


Note: Since I will be out of town from Thursday until the early hours of Monday, the next EotW will be announced next Monday instead of Sunday.

EotW: Regan

A new promotion debuted at the beginning of this month: a different pair of earrings is featured and discounted each week. The current pair is Regan, an elegant design with dark blue kyanite. They are normally $50, but are discounted at $45 until the listing is changed some time on Sunday.


EotW purchases are worth two tickets in the $50 gift certificate draw that will be held at the end of the year. Customers at the store get one ticket for each item purchased unless they chose an EotW item while it was the EotW! The great thing about the prize is that it can be made in the name of the winner or anyone he or she chooses, which means it can be given away as a present!
