The Rose Ring: Still Live and Kicking

Fun fact: if a gemstone exhibits Aventurine-like qualities, it is said to demonstrate aventurescence. I love that.
Extra party bonus fun fact: the name Aventurine comes from the Italian “a ventura,” or “by chance.” (Same link as above.)

New Etsy Faves: KariBeth, Lustre, Glitteryblue

I could spend hours poring over Etsy. Who am I kidding? I do.
Here are three new favorites I recently discovered. Each bring a unique perspective to vintage materials.
