GAVBARI semi-precious stones
Heart pendants
The first novelty in our offer are 10 mm semi-precious stones in the shape of a heart with a hole in the upper part, so you can use them as pendants to design various jewelry ideas. The heart is a timeless and universal shape, in most cultures synonymous with love, desire and passion, as well as good and life. Creating jewelry with a heart motif is a tasteful gift idea and expression of feelings on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, wedding anniversary and birthdays. The heart motif in jewelry is not only associated with love for a loved one. It is also a popular choice as a gift for Mother’s Day, expressing boundless love, and thanks for all the effort put into our upbringing. This motif is also perfect as a gift for a grandmother, daughter, sister, friend or other close person with whom we have an extraordinary bond, and it will remind us of how much this person means to us.
Heart shaped pendants are also often chosen as gifts for births, baptism or communions when combined with engraved silver or gold elements, which we can choose out of 925CRAFT jewelry findings. Semi-precious heart pendants allow you to create unique jewelry that will also work as an original form of expressing the word “Thank you”. Creating jewelry with a heart is a safe option, because it suits women of all ages, and a properly selected gems will favorably complement the beauty of the owner, illuminate her face and emphasize the color of her eyes. The heart pendants in our offer are characterized by subdued colors, which is why they will perfectly fit into both everyday stylizations and during evening outings.
Semi-precious stones available in the form of a 10 mm heart pendant are: rose onyx, sapphire quartz, aquamarine quartz and tiger’s eye. All you need to do is to combine them with an element such as a pinch bail, through which, by threading a silver chain, you will create an attractive necklace. You can also combine them to a bail for pendants, which, with the use of open jump rings or earring settings, will allow you to create charming earrings with sparkling hearts. Discover the wide range of pendant bail types, which will let you design original jewelry. It is also worth to consider jewelry sets consisting of earrings and a necklace decorated with the same heart-shaped stones.
Pear pendant, due to its oblong shape, being used as earrings pendants, slenderize the face, while in the form of a necklace pendant, they give the impression of optically lengthening the neck. Necklaces with longitudinal pendants are arranged in a so-called spike, thanks to which they perfectly complement the outfits with a V-shaped neckline, and also perfectly harmonize with shirts unbuttoned at the neck.
Jewelry making supplies decorated with a pear pendant are extremely feminine, and after matching the appropriate stone – they wonderfully emphasize the beauty and individual character of the owner. Because pear pendants look beautiful both as a decoration of earrings and necklaces, it is also worth creating unusual jewelry sets consisting of several elements decorated with the same stone. These types of sets are a stylish gift idea. An additional advantage of such jewelry is the possibility of wearing it in a set, as well as individually.
The stones, due to their neutral colors, harmonize wonderfully with both gold and sterling silver findings. However, for silver fans, we also offer the option of gold-plating, rose gold-plating, as well as platinum and rhodium-plating to protect the jewelry from blackening.
Rose Cut stones 10 and 12 mm
Semi-precious Rose Cut stones are the oldest faceted stones – referring to rose petals. Rose Cut is associated with the Victorian style, it is a combination of ancient stones with a modern style. The stones that joined our collection are characterized by a rosette cut only in the upper part. The lower part, called the pavilion, takes the form of a cone – identical to the Rivoli. The girdle of stones is round and has a diameter of 10 and 12 mm. The attractiveness of stones is greatly influenced by the number of facets, which reflect the light falling on them – they give the stone a charming depth and additional brilliance.
Our offer includes Rose Cut stones as:

A wide range of colors encourages the creation of exotic jewelry with vivid and bright colors reflecting the summer and holiday mood, as well as classic jewelry in shades of black, brown, beige and pale pink.
Rose Cut Earrings
Due to the great interest in Rose Cut and Rivoli stones, we are constantly expanding the offer of silver settings dedicated specifically to these stones. Tailor-made jewelry supplies are designed in such a way that the bottom of the stones perfectly fits the cavity of the silver element, making the creation of jewelry with stones extremely easy and pleasant, and the finished products look elegant and perfectly refined in every detail. An example are stud earring setting, into which you just need to paste the stones, and then attach earring butterfly backs or back with silicone inside.
The alternative are settings for earrings, which don’t need stoppers. If you are looking for a safer option, we recommend silver leverbacks with a mechanism that reduces the risk of the earring sliding out of the ear.
For the enthusiasts of dangling earrings, we suggest earring post with loop, which can be decorated not only with glued-in stones, but also with additional tassels, feathers or silver pendants.
Rose Cut stones are also an alternative to the Rivoli Crystals from Swarovski in 10 and 12 mm, which are disappearing from the market.
Bead stones in 3 and 6 mm
Another novelty in our offer are semi-precious stones in the form of beads. Semi-precious faceted beads are made of amethyst jadeite, green onyx, carnelian, black spinel, rose quartz and tiger’s eye, but our collection is constantly expanded. They take the form of balls in the size of 3 and 6 mm with a hole, thanks to which they offer many possibilities in creating jewelry. Most often, these types of stones are used in making bracelets and necklaces. There are many possibilities. Some jewelry makers create them on an elastic string, on which, after threading the stones, it is enough to tie a knot and the bracelet or necklace is ready. Others additionally decorate them with pendants or silver findings for threading such as balls, spacers or other elements. People who create silver jewelry with stones use a steel cord on which they thread stones and other decorations, and then finish them with jewelry ends such as crimp bead, clamshell bead, tassel caps or other end caps, and finally add jewelry clasps and chain extensions.
Beads can also be used for making earrings by threading stones on elastic string and forming cluster earrings, or by threading them over silver eye pins to create long dangling earrings.
6 mm beads can also be used to make pendants. For this purpose, just thread a silver pin with a ball or a cap through the stone. The other side of the pin you need to bend with the use of round jewelry pliers into a loop, which can be connected with other elements to make pendants for a bracelet and necklace. This kind of pendants are also perfect for earrings, including chain earrings, for which we recommend chains by the meter. In order to connect pendants with other silver elements, jump rings are perfect.
