RED GARNET GEMSTONE Bracelet (Gypsy)

Garnet is one of the few gemstones that requires no processing other than cutting to enhance its beauty. A trademark of garnet is its symmetrical, cube-based crystals. It is commonly believed that if you give a garnet to a loved one, it will secure their loyalty and affection.
The Gypsy Designer Bracelet was inspired by the color of the Garnet Gemstones and this sultry, three stranded gypsy-like appeal of the overall view itself.
The focal. is a Pink Rose Quartz Gemstone, and surrounded by faceted marquis cut Garnets, 925 Sterling Silver and accompanied with Bali Sterling Silver spacers. The bracelet shows off two additional strands with marquis faceted cut gemstones, round smooth deep red Garnets, 925 Sterling Silver beads and shiny tube beads in 925 Sterling Silver and gorgeous oval link chain amidst the treasures in 925 Sterling Silver as well.

Final Voyage of NASA's Space Shuttle....Atlantis

Last Shuttle Astronauts Mark Fourth of July with Trip to Launch Site

NASA's final space shuttle crew took part in a press conference on June 22, 2011 while standing behind their spacecraft, Atlantis and Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A. From left to right : STS - 135 mission specialists Rex Walheim, Sandra Magnus, pilot Doug Hurley and commander Chris Ferguson.

With the 4th of July underway here at Cape Canaveral, Florida the four American Astonauts will fly NASA's final space shuttle mission and make an Independence Day arrival today at their Florida launch site.

So sad to see it all go, but more than that, to leave the space station in other hands is far too frightening to comprehend.

ANTELOPE ISLAND SYRACUSE, UTAH

A picture of me photographing the Salt Lake scenery.

From the mainland, its 28,022 acres appear barren and deserted. But Antelope Island is home to a variety of flora and fauna native to the Great Basin region. This is a great place to view the wildlife. The island was without its namesake antelope for many years, but they were reintroduced in 1993 and can now be seen in many areas of the park. Deer, bobcats, coyotes, many varieties of birds and waterfowl also call the island home. But most famous are Antelope Island's American Bison, introduced to the island in 1893 and now numbering some 600 animals.

I will be getting back to my Jewelry Designs with a few gems that I purchased while in Utah. :)

MORE and MORE BISON
