WOW! I totally need to win this! I havent won anything in a long while :)
ReplyDeleteWell, how cool is this? I love gemstones that is for sure. My favorite gemstone would have to be blue london topaz, of course. I also love kyanites, moonstone, peridot, pink topaz, all of the mystics in every color, green amethyst, smoky quartz...gosh need I say more. I love briolettes in the 12- 13 mm range for wire wrapping and rondelles too. There is so much..I am sure you will do well! Thanks for this chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOooo I love them all~! Get more yellow ones :)
ReplyDeleteI also love your earwires, very well made!
i'd love to see colour and lots of it!! big bold peices!! =) OOO hope i win!! =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats buddy! I myself love Peridot, Garnet, almost all the jaspers, and petrified wood beads. (which can be tough to find in good quality sometimes, so you'd probably get a good amount of business from those) Just to name a few of course :D
ReplyDeleteI would love to see some tourmilated quartz or moss amethyst.
ReplyDeleteI'd looove to win some gemstones. I love any green stone. My other favorites are turquoise, moonstone, sunstone, and rutilated quartz. I'd love to find some oval faceted peridot and some largish (10-12 mm or bigger) faceted green chalcedony.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

My favorites are jaspers of any colors, and I have a bunch of those I've used and a few more to go.
ReplyDeleteMaybe moss agate, quartz, and coral.
I love your shop and you know you're my hero, L.
Linda
I love rutilated quartz and labradorite. And every other gemstone in the universe. *grin*
ReplyDeletei love to see gemstones in dark, rich colors. looking forward to seeing the pretty things that will be stocked!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I would love to see it all. haha
ReplyDeleteA good selection of wires and gemstones and even nice glass would be awesome.
Definitely gonna follow. :)
Good luck on your new store! I can't wait to see more of your blog, either:) And I love gemstones. In general. All of them. :D
ReplyDeleteDewd. Shapoopie.
ReplyDeleteThings I would like to see in Liciagems (tm) vault-
1. a wide variety of sizes. I like me some tiny beads, but also I like me some big'ns. More tiny than big'n, but there is a place for them all.
2. I also want some large pearls. Like, the big round ones. Currently, I'm in love with all colours (yep, even bright pink) but I'd love to get me some big ol ROUND pearls. Also, I'd like to not have to buy a whole strand of them at a time, cuz lets face it, I can't afford that. Also, it makes for good repeat business.
3. I want unusual gems in strange cuts. Also, I'm a sucker for those big smooth brios in just about any gem. I'm not picky.
4. Moar cowbell. That just stands to reason.
5.I want me some emeralds. I'd pay good money for some nice ones from someone I trust, such as yourself. *smile*
I have a feeling I am going to have to keep my husband away from your vault on payday. Otherwise we may have to live in a cardboard box in the microsoft parking lot.
...you can eat gemstones, right? *giggle*
I love those circular earwires. I also love gemstones in shades of dark blue & green! :)
ReplyDeletelindsaylorraine23[at]gmail[dot]com.
I love gemstones of all colors and shapes, but am particularly drawn to blues and greens.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new shop!
What a cool idea. I love large briolettes in bright colors, unusual gemstone cabochons, for ex. picture agate. Good luck with the Vault!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea :)
ReplyDeletehm, this is timely as I've been looking at gemstones today. (gotta keep reminding myself of my budget...sigh!) I love labradorite (who doesn't?), and things with fossils - corals, crinoids, etc. I am also particularly interested in unpolished drilled stones.
ReplyDelete(by the way - my name will link to my blog, so I'm contactable)
ReplyDeleteThe banner is cute - One of my favorite fonts, too.
ReplyDeleteI love briolettes and faceted beads of all kinds. I adore pinks and purples, some reds, shimmery blacks and flashy things like labradorite and rainbow moonstone.
I bet you get a lot of bites!
Patricia (SilverDragon)
Hi!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'd love to see some really complex cabochons. I love the jaspers, especially moukaite. Oh, never mind, I just love so many I couldn't list all of them. Already signed up for the feed!
I love garnet, so that would be one choice. But I also love almost all kinds of jasper. I've been looking for one called "snakeskin" jasper, and haven't been able to find it. Don't know if it's really considered a gemstone, but I love it. I'll keep watching for the stocking of the new store.

Wow, wonderful contest! (: I'm not too familiar with gemstones yet, but I do know I like really BIG ones. I would love to make earrings with really big sparkly gems.
ReplyDeletewhat a delicious giveaway! I would love to see pendant size briolettes in the shop. Real or fake gems, just pretty is all that matters!
ReplyDeleteLovely new shop! I love the banner.
ReplyDeleteSo far I haven't used gems in my work but I'd love to start. I'm looking for a good way to make higher price point items.
I don't know if there is such a thing, but I would eat up hot pink gem stones in a second!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the neony green bauble necklace in the photos above!!
ReplyDeleteI apprenticed with a jeweler for about 3.5 years, so I've had the pleasure of working with many different gemstones. One of my favorites - Indicolite - all of the beautiful shades of blues and greens, my favorite is when you can find a deep teal. And of course, you can never go wrong with Sapphires, blues, pinks, oranges, YUM!!!

Beautiful beads! Your shop was so soft and welcoming I wanted everything!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shop! You are off to a great start. I am always looking for a good deal on sterling silver findings-earrings, ball pins etc.
ReplyDeleteSure would be GRAND to win something!!! Tehe
Your shop looks wonderful so far! I'm a sucker for odd gemstones, the problem is they can run expensive! But since not too many people carry them, even on Etsy, it might be something to look into. Things like Seraphinite, Chaorite, Larimar, etc. I generally look for sizes ranging from 6-8mm, round or semi-round, but that's cause I mainly make rosaries and stuff. =D
ReplyDeletewww.alchera.etsy.com
i would love to see more peridot and green/aqua gemstones. I'm not very familiar with names, since I just got into jewelry making (as a hobby)
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful shop- thank you for the chance to win :)
thevintageholicfrog@gmail.com
Tourmaline is most definitely my favorite gemstone so I would say I would love to see some pretty colors of natural tourmaline. I love pink tourmaline and all the varying shades you can find it in. How pretty for creating beautiful, feminine jewelry! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter.
ReplyDeletejoannaonthelake@gmail.com
Fabulous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am a bead addict.
I would love to see smooth labradorite briolettes 6-8mm and 12-15mm. I LOVE LOVE labradorite!

ReplyDeleteHello, I just made a request on your etsy shop and I did not know about this opportunity! What I've seen on your shop for a beginner like me is enough, but I particularly love briolettes of any gem and mix sets.
