You Can Win One of These Three Items.......

Sea Glass Inspired Earrings

Tiger's Eye Earrings

Vintage Inspired Nursery Rhyme Bib

It's Giveaway Day!!!

Well folks, it's Friday...and you know what that means...the 1st Giveaway Day here at Ruby Moon Designs in honor of my newly opened ETSY store! I have three items up for grabs...one which you've already seen a preview of unknowingly! So, without further ado, here are my giveaways...............


...............1st) these lovely dangle earrings, crafted with Sterling Silver, Tiger's Eye Gemstones & a "mystery" gemstone. (I have so many beads running around, and I lost the label to these! BUT they are either Howlite or Amazonite...I have a bad memory, sorry!) They measure about 1 1/2 inches in length.


Secondly...yes...my Sea Glass Inspired Earrings. I really love these, and thought that some of you may too...so they are up for grabs as well! They were designed using Sterling Silver earring hooks and pins, antiqued-silver Pewter accent beads, Swarovski Crystal beads & my favorite, seafoamy blue/green Amazonite Gemstones. They measure approx. 2 inches long.


And lastly, this cute little infant bib is ready to be loved by some adorable messy baby. Made with 100% Cotton Vintage inspired Nursery Rhyme fabric and accented with yellow rick-rack and red (adjustable) neck band. Red zig-zag stitch is used around the outside of the bib. The bib, which is reversible, is lined with flannel to help absorb the spills that are sure to happen when baby is eating. Cut with pinking shears along the edge, the bib will fray a bit over time which results in a soft little ruffle along the edge. (Care Instructions: Machine Wash Cold, Tumble Dry Low)

So there you have it, y'all! Okay, here's how to snatch up one of these great offers (just let me know which item you'd like to be in the drawing for so we can share the love and only have one item per winner!):

Sea Glass Inspired Earrings

Today I sat down with the intention of making some earrings to add to my giveaway (which will be on Friday...so don't miss it). As I prepared to create, I knew that I needed some inspiration---so I grabbed myself a cup of coffee, which always helps me to brainstorm and in a strange way relaxes me.


Sipping slowly out of a teacup that my grandmother gave me on my 16th birthday, I decided on these two colors for making my secret giveaway gift...the colors are all the sneak-peek that you're going to get right now!


After I made my giveaway, I was still feeling inspired and so I proceeded to get out some little goodies to make a sea glass inspired pair of earrings...



...I just love the beautiful sea foamy blue of these Amazonite gemstones...they are probably my favorite gemstone to work with. Paired with Sterling Silver & Swarovski Crystal they capture the beauty of the ocean's natural hues.

Almost finished...just a matter of putting the puzzle pieces together now...

...and here they are, in all their sea glass inspired beauty!
If you're lucky, I'll add these to my ETSY store! Motherhood is calling now though, so ETSY will have to wait!

Ear Candy!

I have been a bit preoccupied with doing some re-decorating in our home that I haven't gotten around to tinkering with my jewelry making in a while. I do want to introduce you all to what I have made in the past though...most of these have been sold here in a little coastal gift shop...and some of them I couldn't bear to give up, so I wear them on a regular basis---free advertising if you ask me! Anyways, here is a peek into Ruby Moon Designs Jewelry - Ear Candy Edition!

Violet Czech Glass Beads on Silver Hoops with Sterling Silver Ear Hooks...I wear a pair similar to these all the time made with Jet Black Beads...they go with a lot!

These little pretties are made with Moss Agate Gemstones and Pale Green Czech Glass. Sterling Silver accents & Earring Hooks.


Designed with Fuchsia Swarovski Crystal on Silver Hoops with Sterling Silver Earring Hoops...one of my favorites...now owned by a sister of mine! (Love you, Gail!)
