CLUSTER RINGS have experienced a major rebirth of interest across the last year. At one time quite readily available as a fashion mainstay; they seemed to have fallen into the shadows for quite some time; possibly being seen as too old-fashioned and ostentatious by a world that craved the new...the sleek...and the high-tech.

Interest in them has blossomed-particularly in the last 6 months-and it seems like the more retro they are, the better! We've been able to collect a wonderful array of NEW STERLING SILVER CLUSTER RINGS; in 3 different styles (a LARGE featuring NINE oval-cut gemstones; MID-SIZED with FOUR gemstones, and a FLORAL style with SEVEN gemstones encircled by Marcasite); all accented with high quality Marcasites, and beautifully finished in black oxide for a stunning contrast. We try to keep them all available in sizes 8, 9 and 10; and with your choice of gemstone colors that included Amethyst, Garnet, Sparkling White and Aquamarine.

Popularity can have its drawbacks, though-demand has swelled to a point where many suppliers can not keep an adequate stock available, and items are going into back-order. We currently have a respectable inventory, and try to stay on top of t to assure availability. However-we can not be certain as to what tomorrow will bring, so...if you WANT one, but have been putting off the purchase, maybe you should indulge NOW...before you can NOT!

WE ORIGINALLY POSTED the following blog entry in November 2008:

As our nation moves ever deeper into difficult economic times, we all struggle to make the dollars we have go farther. At AMAZED BY GRACE SPECIALTIES, we're doing our part by regularly reviewing all our costs, resisting price increases handed down to us by our suppliers; and lowering other prices whenever possible. We have just done so with our complete line of CONNOISSEURS Jewelry Cleaning and Maintenance items. Not only have we set them up at the lowest consistant pricing regularly available on eBay, but we're offering a multi-item SAVINGS REFUND to allow you to make a good deal even better! There are reduced prices available when you purchase as few as 2...up to 4 units...on EVERY CONNOISSEURS item we sell!

Looking back almost wistfully at those days, none of us had any inkling of just how bad things could get...and it looks as though we've still got a ways to go on this roller coaster ride!

When the going gets tough, the tough get SMART...and get THRIFTY! Now there's an antique word-not used much for the last 20 years; but certainly enjoying a renaissance today! We're finding people are now thinking long and hard about almost every purchase, and putting off quite a bit. Rather than replace, many are choosing to repair, revise, renew...and part of that is CLEANING!...and when we're speaking of cleaning JEWELRY, nothing works better than CONNOISSEURS JEWELRY CLEANING Products! It never fails to amaze me just how much SPARKLE & BLING can be hiding in a soiled silver or gemstone piece. Dipping old brooches, chains and rings in the REVITALIZING SILVER CLEANER can actually cause an identity crisis-when you discover you've forgotten just how good a piece really looks!

While it may take a little while for our sales philosophy to get used to this and "stabilize", we applaud this move towards "life cycle extension". It does our hearts good to see STUFF used continuously and long-term, rather than be disposed of when it is no longer "stylish". Keep it up; AMERICA! By the grace of a loving GOD, and just a little bit of COMMON SENSE, we may survive this yet!

SMALL and UNOBTRUSIVE, yet unique enough to be easily noticed; this STERLING SILVER OVAL CROSS NECKLACE could be a perfect accessory for anyone who would prefer to show their faith quietly. It is quite beautiful but smallish; measuring just a little less than 1 1/8" high by about 9/16" across. It gathers its name by being built of 4 open oval shapes, with a collection of smaller, solid ovals as accents. We are adding an 18" Sterling Silver box link chain (made in Italy) to make this piece complete.

THIS CROSS is a great lower-priced gift idea for the coming months! Considerably less than $20, it will be shipped to your door AT NO ADDITIONAL COST, as always!

THREADER EARRINGS seemed to have just popped into the world of contemporary jewelry almost from nowhere. Just a few short months ago, they were quite rare. Now they seem to be appearing in "all the right places"...and one of those places is right here at Amazed By Grace Specialties.

We started slowly, with the SPIRAL HOOPS, but soon added many more styles-several of which have become immensely popular. We've included links to both our Earring Department and a number of individual listings below for your convenience.

We're not exactly sure what draws people to this style of earring-possibly getting "twice as much" earring for the same price? Whatever it is, we're doing our best to provide you with a wide variety of shapes and styles-all made in a craftmanlike manner of the finest STERLING SILVER...and of course, as always, FREE SHIPPING to domestic purchasers is the RULE at Amazed By Grace Specialties!

    OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, our own personal attraction to jewelry that helps us project our faith and keep ourselves focused has grown from a sideline to a point where it is now our specialty. Of course, as with all things in life, we thank GOD for the direction, opportunities and encouragement to travel down this path...but on a more "nuts & bolts" level, HE used all of you out there-bringing your needs and desires to our door tep-to give us the fuel needed to keep moving. We thank YOU ALL for your trust, and hopefully look forward to continuing to supply your faith-based needs as time goes on. 

     WE KEEP LOOKING for new, unique and exciting items to offer, and are most pleased when we can present accessories that are both pleasing to you all, and very difficult to find elsewhere. The MUSTARD SEED CROSS, FISH and HEART were some of the earlier pieces that seemed to have touched your fancy. Always striving to improve our inventory, in recent weeks we've added the FOOTPRINTS RING in several sizes, the unique ICHTHYS BANGLE in Sterling Silver, and an assortment of man-sized Gemstone-based Crosses. One of the most unusual items we've gathered up is the JESUS - ANCHOR OF HOPE Necklace (see links for these items at the end of the article).  

     WE"VE EVEN BEEN ABLE to "spin off" another small department from CHRISTIAN JEWELRY - AmG's New Jewelry for TWEENS . Knowing how important STYLE can be to those in the in-between years, we spend considerable time and thoughtfulness in choosing items to present here. Absolutely nothing "cheezy" or cheap; every item is Sterling Silver and (where applicable) real gemstones.

     AS WE GET DEEPER INTO SPRING, the many celebrations of renewal and rebirth approach. First Communion, Confirmation, Resurrection Sunday (Easter), Junior and Senior Proms; even on to graduations and weddings...these are many events where a precious gift of jewelry is often traditional. There is little on earth that can offer an image of promise and unblemished purity as the smooth, clean luster of polished Sterling Silver as it gently surrounds and protects a sparkling gemstone. We hope to give glory and praise to our Father GOD by offering such as this as our "stock in trade"; offered honestly and fairly; and always with friendly and courteous service...not to mention FREE SHIPPING!  

HERE ARE A FEW LINKS to some popular items:

          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.
