These are no ordinary lemondrops!

Lemon quartz is a truly beautiful variety of quartz. Mined in Brazil, it is a relative of the amethyst which is quartz in a purple color. Lemon quartz, with its hints of green fire, is well suited to being cut in facets. It sparkles brilliantly and is a favorite among jewelry artists for that reason. While certainly not as pricey as diamonds, it is generally more expensive than amethysts and citrine.

Lemon quartz is said to protect the wearer from evil thoughts. It helps you focus on your creativity, optimism, organization, and well-being.

You can see some beautiful lemon quartz faceted coins in the
Electric Lemondrops necklace from the 2009 Fall/Holiday Collection.
Fall trends and green?????

Some random fall trends from the world of fashion....bangle bracelets in silver and gold combined are all still the rage. All the designers are showing them. Small ones, cuff-sized ones, stack them up. Lots of them in combined silver and gold. The fashion magazines and the runways are full of them....the multi-layer necklaces are still being shown with the layers of the necklace in many lengths, materials, and sizes as if you are wearing 8 or more different necklaces. Thick ones and thin ones. Maybe time to raid your closet or make a trip to the second-hand store to pile some up....jewelry pieces from necklaces to bracelets to earrings seem to be getting bolder and more structural in shape, making more of a statement.....and finally GREEN is the color this fall (go figure) from green nail polish from many makeup manufacturers to green jewelry in jade and tsavorite (a green more brilliant than emerald).
