The second these new SWAROVSKI elements came out, I jumped on them!
Introducing the Everyday Classic, Wild Hearts.
These are an upgrade from the regular Everyday Classic heart-- a big upgrade! The wild hearts are 3-4 times the price of regular 10mm hearts.
These wild hearts are slightly larger, and have tons more facets than the original hearts. Now, if only they'll come out with more colors... need patience...
They come with sterling silver bails (unseen on the regular heart earrings), making them slightly longer.
And I brought the Baroque shape back because there were lots of requests for it:
And a clover bracelet! Featuring the NEW clover bead =)
And the cutest mother of pearl cat beads .... made into earrings with other very cute components:
Also made another OOAK pair of earrings:
Enjoy! I'm off to finish a challenging hw assignment that's due tmrw, and I'll be announcing the giveaway winner tmrw as well, stay tuned!

I'm still doing the goodie bag giveaway with all orders over $50! It's the LAST DAY. See previous post for gift with purchase details =)
For those of you who can wear non-sterling silver earrings, here's a post for you!
These earring hooks are SO cute, and it's a shame they didn't come in sterling silver. These are base metal findings, NOT for sensitive ears! This is why they're significantly cheaper =) See them HERE.

I also wanted to do my FIRST youtube contest... SOON.!
I've been pretty busy, catching up with custom orders and doing school-related stuff. I'm also scurrying to finish a bunch of new items for Whole Earth Festival from May 7- 9 at UCD. I'm going to be displaying jewelry for sale at the UCD Craft Center's table =)-- if you're in the area, stop by!
I also wanted to thank everyone who dropped by and left an answer to the question from my last post: What drink would you be, and why? I thought this one was pretty interesting, and wanted to share:

Congrats, joey! You've won the a pair of kidney wire earrings :D. If you can drop me an email with your shipping address. that'd be amazing =) heqicrystaldesigns@hotmail.com
For future reference, creativity counts when answering these questions! The more memorable you are, the more likely you'll win =)
Free Shipping? In honor of Mothers' Day, I wanted to offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders placed between now and May 3rd, 2010. Please put the code "MD2010" in the comments section during checkout. You'll be REFUNDED your S/H charge after you make payment.
And on the topic of shipping, how do you guys feel about me changing my prices a bit so that it includes free worldwide shipping? Shipping costs includes cost of time, materials, boxes, packaging and postage. I know it turns people off to have to pay an additional cost on top of what you see, and refunding shipping charges can be a hassle. Thoughts? Keep in mind a package with 1 earring in it takes about $2.50 to pack and ship.
Here are some new things I've added to the website that I haven't had the chance to show off on blog just quite yet:
Oh man, the rondelles on these POP and are SUPER shiny. This is the second time I've worked with multi-faceted rondelles (the aquamarine beads), and they are PHENOMENAL. Well worth the price. SWAROVSKI crystals are priced not only by the size of the crystals, but also how many cuts a crystal has-- making this one shiny piece.
This bracelet also makes a beautiful bridesmaid bracelet!
More kidney wire earrings:
Another Galactic (popular) earring!
I had these floral hoops in white gold a while back... now introducing them in gold =)
Starfish!
These red/gold earrings were inspired by one of my older designs, but with a "lucky" twist. Red and Gold are the luckiest colors in Chinese culture =)
Violet AB version of Butterfly Dreamin'
Now these hooks are kinda special-- they're not disconnected from the piece! Generally, we see french ear wires separate from the piece, but these are connected. Grab these quick at such a low price!
This particular green is STUNNING. There are few words that can describe how awesome it is. Not quite as dark with emerald, but definitely darker than peridot. It's called "erinite". PRETTY.
Greige is the hottest color of the season! Grab these for your everyday/work wear!
I finally settled on a signature style of pearl bracelet... pearls with some extra "bling".
I also tried really hard to price this reasonably-- can you believe those small sterling silver spacer beads are $1 each by themselves?
The leaf toggle really makes this piece a classic.
Another uni-sex necklace! I know that the jet pegasus has been really popular among the dudes-- so this one's for you! It comes on a nice 17-inch leather necklace =)
BTW, Jen WAS having a giveaway on Youtube to celebrate her 10K subscribers on her channel.
I was going to post this earlier but was too swamped with work :(. Oh well, doesn't hurt to visit her channel anyway-- she's got tons of beauty reviews (her recent batch of items are Lioele).
School is busy busy, which is why I haven't been able to blog as much :(
I've gotten quite a few requests to make a youtube vid to better show off those Triangle bracelets-- will do, as soon as I get the chance, probably this weekend =)
I added to my Everyday Classic collection-- this is a simple collection that features just 1 crystal or pearl or so-- everyone's been asking for a simpler selection, so I hope this is good!
A good friend of mine asked me to make these for his girlfriend-- HE came up with the design! Thanks :D
The Everyday Classic collection has been modeled after the above earrings designed by my friend.
Here's a look:
At $12 a pair, these are VERY affordable, not to mentioned, made with the best sterling silver ear wires!
Also, bringing back the first type of bracelet I made when I first started making jewelry:
Cute, also only $20 =)
And something new.... and pretty different.
I'm not a fan of a simple strand of pearls, but when I saw these BEAUTIFUl faceted roundelles, I HAD to make a simple, FRICKEN SHINY piece.
The more facets (cuts) a crystal has, the shiner and pricier it is. This is the only all-crystal strand bracelet I've ever made :
