I kinda had this goal in my head that I wanted to have at least 100 pieces in my 
Etsy shop before the Holiday shopping season began.  After I listed these:
|  | 
| Kingman Turquoise | 
|  | 
| Iolite | 
|  | 
| Citrine | 
|  | 
| Apatite | 
|  | 
| Garnet |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
I have 102 pieces in my shop!  I did it!
This last collection of earrings was really all about the stones.  I used some of my very best in this batch.
The Apatite blows my mind.  I'm used to seeing Apatite that looks like this:
Don't get me wrong!  I love this Apatite.  Dark blue turns me on.  But the clarity and transparency in these 6mm Apatite cabs is perfection.
And Iolite.  Rose cut Iolite.  Why don't I see this stone very often?  It is so gorgeous!  A purply blue that I just love.
I can always go for Turquoise any day of the week, so I had to use those.  Garnets?  As soon as it cools down even a smidge, out come the garnets for me.
That Citrine has a golden glow that you just wouldn't believe.  And rose cut as well.  And November's birthstone.  :)
All on patterned silver.   
 
Really beautiful pieces just like every thing else in your shop!
