You’re a Real Gem!

Interiors

Good Morning loves! The weekends fly by too fast, don’t they? I hope you all did something fun or relaxing. Either way is just as good!

This morning, I thought we’d chat gems.The colors, the shapes- it’s oh so magical! While most of us think of gems in baubles, it doesn’t necessarily have to be on your finger to be enjoyed. Of course, no ones complaining of that either…

Gems are popping up everywhere; art, fashion and design. I remember coming across Veronica Sheaffer’s site, My Hands Made It, after her home was featured on Apartment Therapy. I absolutely love what she did with her kitchen and that plain old rock she turned into art…yup.

Still love it! The gold frame and the pop of white against the dark colored walls. While I might not take the same painting risks, I absolutely love this kitchen!

Want to recreate the same art for your home? Why not simply blow up a photo from online? Otherwise, Etsy has some great options to get your gem fix!

Can’t decide on one gem? The top print has all shapes in sizes in hues of pink and purple!

Agate heaven!

blue and abstract 800

Bold blue or go abstract with this print!

Flat wall art doesn’t do it for you anymore? How about we step it up a notch and grab a pair of scissors… and go 3D like this art installation?

Since we did mention baubles…I think we should tease ourselves with some fabulous jewelry from Jen Altman from Cisthene. She takes these little beauties to a whole new level. I absolutely L.O.V.E. her site and her beautiful products. This is a great place to learn about the healing powers of gems and find your own personal talisman. Or simply wear something pretty!

Here’s a glimpse of a few of the pieces I’m gushing over.

Are you loving gems as much as I am right now? Do you have any gem art in your home or do you even use them as paper weights? I have agate coasters I absolutely love!
