  • Giving Jewelry for Easter , Communion or Confirmation gifts? We've got some GREAT IDEAS...

    12:26 PM PST, 2/22/2009

              THE COMING OF SPRING brings renewal, rebirth, and a resurgence of hope for the future. No wonder GOD has ushered us to have so many of HIS events in this time!

              RESURRECTION SUNDAY, or Easter, the most important date in all of Christianity; is right around the corner. The Catholic observances of First Communion and Confirmation are also lined up in the coming months. If you had thoughts of giving jewelry as gifts for these events, we encourage you to have a look right here in our store, Amazed By Grace Specialties .  We have a great collection of Christian jewelry that's getting bigger by the day, and we go to great lengths to be at least a step better than competitively priced.           The most recent addition to our collection is the ICHTHYS and CROSS NECKLACE. Used as a symbol of the faith from the earliest days, the ICHTHYS or CHRISTIAN FISH is combined here in STERLING SILVER with the Cross of our Savior, JESUS CHRIST. It is smallish, to be unobtrusive; yet the highly polished, domed pendant will be easily noticed in almost any enviornment. 

     

              It is provided standard with an Italian-made 24" x 1.0mm Sterling Silver Box Link chain. However, we can easily supply you with a different length, if so desired-and in this case it would be at no charge.

  • New ABALONE and STERLING SILVER Necklace

    5:23 PM PST, 2/21/2009

             TO SAY THIS PENDANT IS UNIQUE simply doesn't do it justice. It is rather free-form in shape, resembling nothing so much as the modern media icon for a hurricane. It's most stunning feature is the football-shaped 14mm long sliver of ABALONE Mother-of-Pearl that uses us most of the available surface area, and seems very indecisive as to what color it wants to be! This highly polished piece of rare mullosk shell is wondefully prismatic and iridescent; changing hues with every slight motion and variation of light. (This very attractive feature, when coupled with the mirror-like surface of the silver, made this piece a NIGHTMARE to photograph!) . To call it "eye-catching" is so understated as to be laughable! With this gorgeous piece around your neck, you're certain to be noticed. By whom, however; is up to you...

              As noted, this piece and the chain are both STERLING SILVER with a polished section of natural ABALONE. The pendant measures about 1 1/4" long by 9/16" at its widest point, and weighs 3.21 grams, and the 18" x 1.0mm Italian-made Box Link chain weighs 1.9grams. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that while every pendant will be prismatic, iridescent and quite colorful; the ABALONE SHELL INLAY is a naturally-occurring material, and as such, no two will be alike. As an example, we've included two different pieces in our photos.  

    Would you like a different length chain with your new pendant? We keep these STERLING SILVER Italian-made 1.0mm Box-link chains in stock in 16”, 18”, 20” and 24” lengths, and will be pleased to substitute for you. If there is a cost, it will be minimal ($1.00 or less…). Just contact us via eBaY Message or email, and let’s see what we can do…
    IN A HURRY?  RELAX! We’ll ship it via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a 2 to 3 day delivery promise-at a REDUCED RATE!..and YES, we’ll combine items (a lot of STUFF will fit in the Flat Rate envelope!) Please refer to the shipping box below for more information.

  • Bargains in Sterling Silver Gemstone Rings-the EAST/WEST Style

    7:04 PM PST, 2/8/2009

         IN TODAY's economic climate, just about everybody is looking for bargains. Unfortunately, most of the time, the sweet taste of the low price is cut short by the acrid bitterness of a shoddy product, usually as it falls apart before your eyes. This is why we are very pleased to present our new line of BARGAIN rings to you-where the word bargain is defined as "QUALITY AT A DISCOUNT".

         In the previous blog entry, we talked a little about one of the all-silver items; the FOOTPRINTS ring. Now I'd like to look at one of our STERLING SILVER and GEMSTONE offerings-the one we're calling the EAST/WEST STYLE.

         With simple lines and an unostentatious presentation, these rings rely on the beauty of their gemstones to make their presence known. The STERLING SILVER setting is composed of a basic band with a sizeable oval landing for its star player. The gemstones themselves are wonderfully symmetrical CABOCHON-style. For the most part, they appear to be of fine quality, and we've done our best to bring you good representative images of the grain and coloration in the photos. For any of you who seek specific stones for your reperitoire, we have quite a field to choose from-including (but not necessarily limited to) AMETHYST, CITRINE, RUBY, MOONSTONE, PERIDOT, CARNELLIAN and TIGERS EYE. We struggle a bit with the pricing, but are doing the best we can to keep them low-and so far nothing is over $18 (I think there's only one or two at this level), and most are actually a lot closer to $10! 

         These rings are all up and available now, and are listed as follows:

     
     
    -of course, substituting whatever gemstone & size you prefer.
  • FOOTPRINTS Ring in Sterling Silver

    1:50 PM PST, 2/7/2009

         OF THE NEWS RING STYLES, the first one to be listed was the "FOOTPRINTS" Ring in Sterling Silver. It also has the most to say.

         IT is a simple flat band, highly polished; with the image of a footprint path deeply embossed in the metal. To give good contrast, the image has been coated in black oxide. It has become an icon for the "Right To Life" movement; resembling as it does the short, chubby black-ink footprint of an infant taken right after birth. One can also see it as a reminder of the single set of "Footprints in the Sand" made famous by the poem and mid-1960's narrative recording.

          As we hold to both of these thoughts, you can consider it as either-that's fine with us. Either way, wearing this ring is a statement of the love that GOD has for us all. 

  • REAL Gemstones and Silver...for HOW MUCH?

              WITH THE ECONOMIC TURMOIL swirling around us today, probably the last thing on anyones' mind is buying new jewelry...but then again, withVALENTINE's DAY right around the corner...

              We are pleased to present to you several new styles of solitaire rings-with REAL NATURAL GEMSTONES, in STERLING SILVER SETTINGS- at prices that will make you wonder if they aren't in error. I promise you, my friends; they're the real deal, at the real price.

              Some of the ring settings are quite unique; such as the one we are calling "The Button"; which acts as a framework for beautifully faceted oval gems. There is also the verrrry eye-catching "Teardrop East-West". Several more traditional but generous styles round out the group, including an emerald-cut gemstone with a very wide band and a set of huge cabochon-based rings.  All (as noted) are STERLING SILVER. The gemstones included to this point include Amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, Lapis, Onyx, Tigers Eye, Topaz, Citrine, Garnet, Peridot, Carnellian, Moonstone; etc etc etc. 

              Did I mention the cost? Well, some are actually under $10. I know-what can you get for $10 today. C'mon in and take a look. You won't believe your eyes.    

    As days go by, we'll add new pages and describe each different style.
