Take your inspiration this month from raindrops falling on your head or from stones that are a girl’s best friend, or from the shapes that they represent. Teardrops are a very common shape for both beads and cabochons, and for classically styled earrings. A diamond may glitter, but it is also the common geometric shape suitable for use in thousands of designs! Whether you use precious gems or delicate jewels, similar geometric shapes into your patterns and designs, we want to see your photos!
