Birthstones

Birthstones....they are the perfect way to make any gift that much more special, especially in jewelry.  A few weeks back, I was asked to design a bracelet for my step-mom's niece using her birthstone.  She wanted to give it as a gift for her birthday coming up in July.  She had seen another red bracelt I had done using a sterling silver heart and was hoping I could do something similar.  Not wanting to do the exact same thing, I decided to use ruby Swarovski hearts and I couldn't have been more pleased with the result.

Take a look and let me know what you think. What is your birthstone?  Do you love it or hate it?  Would you wear a design that uses your birthstone?  Let me know.
