 | It's so tempting! | Many jewelry designers have a found a niche making jewelry that evokes certain movies, characters, or books. Online marketplaces like Etsy routinely give sellers the boot if they play fast‑and‑loose with copyright laws. But it's easy to avoid infringement issues if you put some thought into how you represent registered themes and motifs. Avoid copyright infringement. |

| Congratulations to the CELTIC Design Challenge winners! | We're thrilled to (finally!) announce the winners of Facet's Design Challenge for March, when our seasonally‑appropriate theme was CELTIC. We were looking for simple knots, endlessly twisting wire, spirals or triskelions bursting with mystical energy — and wow, did we get some stunning submissions! Congrats to Kat Ezzo, Micah Nilsson, Ann‑Marie Ceosmun, and Lynn Hedgecock who took top honors this month! See the winning designs! |

| May the Fourth Be With You! | Star Wars lovers will be in all their glory this coming Thursday, May 4th, which is widely celebrated as Star Wars Day due to the pun on the catch phrase "May the Force Be With You." To get in the spirit, learn about heroine Jyn Erso's Kyber Crystal pendant seen in the latest movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and then make your own version with crystal clay, wire, or peyote stitch. Channel the Force. |
