The Family Gems

Welcome!

2007-12-16T13:19:00.000-08:00

My name is Sig and I am the mother of 7 fabulous children. Our youngest Princess was born in Guatemala and she has inspired me to start making jewelry! (Have to keep her bathed in bling, after all!).

Unless specified, all items are real. Sterling silver, Swarovski crystals, freshwater Pearls & real Jade.

To order any bracelet, please go to "contact" and Em me with your request and I will send you an invoice. ("Buy it now" buttom coming soon!)

Any bracelet can be made with any color combination, with or without pearls, for no extra charge. Just tell me what you want in the instruction box when you paypal!

And now, we are at it again! We are trying to bring home a 10 year old who needs us as much as we need her. All profits go towards her adoption. By buying a bracelet, you will be contributing to bringing this beautiful little girl home!
Not interested in a bracelet? Would you consider helping us (and her!) by donating $1. Every penny counts!!

Anklets are normally 9 inches, please measure ankle for correct size.
