Elizabeth I love that story and congratulations on your sale! Hubbys ear lobe still attached? Would love to see a picture of the earrings that you made...need a little inspiration here.

How well said. Szarka does have the best stuff, and I love copper too. No trouble selling it.

Szarka on June 14, 2009 at 10:55 PM said:

Elizabeth that is a great story and I too am glad you won't have to fry up your husbands ears.

I love copper and slowly we are winning over the masses to love it too.

Thanks for your kind words. It's people like you who make me love my job.

Szarka,

I love your Copper work and the stones you use with the Copper.

I made several pairs of large Copper Earrings, and one pair I stamped and Riveted. In Jan. I was ask to be a vendor for the Trumpet Awards, at the Hyatt Regency, here in Atlanta.

We set up on Thursday and had to leave everything overnight, so I asked the Security Guards if they would keep an eye on my Jewelry, because there was a lot of money on the table.

My husband, being a Precious Metals snob, ask me why I brought the Copper jewelry, and I told him that Copper was the new Silver, and he laughted at me. He told me if I sold those big ugly Copper Earrings, I could cut his ear lobe off and fry it.

The next morning, when I came into the Vendor's area, at two different times, both Security Guards came to me and asked me to check and be sure everything was there, because someone had been in my booth looking and touching.

I did not find anything missing, and about that time, the lady from across the aisle, came over to me and said, "Where are my Copper Earrings, because those are mine"! I was shocked, to say the least, but she asked me if I would take a check, and I told her yes, so she got her checkbook and wrote me a check for $175.00, without saying a thing, except, Thank you for making these, I love them!

She immediately put them on in her extra hole in her lobe, beside her other Copper earrings. Then she said that she only wears Copper Jewelry.

When I got home that night, and handed my husband the sales for the day, he asked me about the Check for $175, and I told him it was for the Copper Riveted earrings, and to get the knife because I was ready to cut and fry. He hasn't mentioned his distaste for Copper since then.

Szarka, I showed him your Copper work, and he admitted that he really liked it, I guess the $175 for the Copper earrings made a lasting impression.

Now on another level, I have been shopping with you for at least four years, and for all of your customers, I wanted them to know that your sites are the best places to shop for gem Stones, and know that you are not going to be cheated or lied to about any stone you question.

You will also go the extra mile for them, if there is something they want, and you think you might have it, you will go to the warehouse and pull things until you find it. For that, I really thank you, the Garnet Rope, I thought I ordered, but didn't, but you pulled things until you found it!

You are the type of Gem Vendor, I know I can trust!

Thanks for being you!

It would not be possible to create without the beautiful beads supplied by Magpie Gemstones. Szarka sells some of the most beautiful beads I have ever found. In addition, she is totally honest, absolutely ethical and extremely trustworthy.

She searches out quality, selects gemstones personally onsite with her reputable suppliers. I highly recommend Szarka and Magpie Gemstones.

Finding Magpie Gemstones, and Szarka, have been amazing discoveries for me recently!

She has THE best prices & quality, based on my past purchases elsewhere and price comparisons on the internet. Also, her shipping speed is awesome! I couldn't believe I already had the items in my hands only a few days after I placed my order!

In talking with Szarka several times by phone...I've found that she has a wealth of information, is extremely helpful, and is an honest person to do business with. She truly cares about her customers and goes above & beyond to help them with their jewelry supplies needs.

I'll be a regular customer from now on, and I'll definitely refer others to her website as well!

Szarka, It is always a pleasure buying from you. Everytime I visit your store I am captured by something that must come home with me! Being an artist yourself, and everything you put into your world of jewelry really shines through and enhances the personal experience of buying from you. Your shipping is always safe and quick. Your communication via email when I ask you questions is quick and informative. All around I appreciate you as a person and a seller. Thanks so much for doing what you do! Shay

Just a huge thank you for what you have, what you do and who you are! No way to thank you enough for everything and especially for your help with supplying and supporting my little local bead shop. You have the best of everything, and I wish you and yours the best of everything... B

Szarka,

Your package arrived today. We had problems with ice here and I had to wait for the package - which was not easy knowing that it was coming from you.

As a point of feedback to you, my friend, I think you have highly underrated your product. :-)

Now, will I have the heart to make creations out of this shipment - uhh, not if I don't deal with the separation anxiety and any other that can be manifested so that those beads stay in my hands.

Wished that I would have order lots more of everything and not contained myself on any selection. Do you suppose that I may be a slightly addicted client? We already know that I am an addicted beader and wire person.

Szarka, those cream pearls A 8mm - I lust for every stand of that which is in your shop. All of the pearls are beautiful - naturally, they passed the Szarka test. And the prices, how ever do you do it?

The Turquoise Magesite white ovals 40mm are beautiful and there is a bit of green (my fav color) on a couple of them. Any of those you get in will be wonderful. What a classic and ends the problem of putting in a white or cream bead that is not harsh color that fits a creation.

You know that I could go on and on about each and every item. But will say, no wonder you ran out of the mandrel either - leave it to you to have the most perfect tools. As far as I am concerned, no supplier is any where near Magpie Gemstones diversity, quality, price and service.

Not sure when I will order again but if any of those pearls are around, I will be getting into them.

It seems to go hand in hand with the creations you make that you find the beautiful things you do. I suspect you are gifted beyond the word "Artist". And thank you very much for letting me know that you were going to be having these beads. :-)


Thanks, Szarka.

Szarka has inspired & wowed me with her wonderful creations as well as informed me with her uninhibited sharing. Moreover, she runs her store honestly and stocks it with beautiful, well-priced items. Thank you, dear.

I just placed an order and it didn’t give me an opportunity to send a message so I just wanted to thank you for sending the replacement stone on my last order. It arrived in lickity split time. I always feel like you are fair and reputable to me and that is very much appreciated. Again thanks and I look forward to receiving my next order. I do love your turquoise.

BTW will you EVER have more of the matte finish turquoise rondelles that you sold by the bag weight? Sloan and I purchased them from you in several batches. They very crude looking, probably hand cut, and we adore them.

Thanks again!

Dear Szarka,

I have NEVER seen such beautiful beads/jewels and I really appreciate your shipping and jewelry charges.

Hugs, M.E.

Szarka, a neighbor just stopped by with her kids to trick or treat. She said she had been to the blog and wanted to know when the wire sculpture will be on the site. She said she wanted some. And I did not think it was ready for prime time. ;-) I've been using the wire gotten from you. Gee, your product sure does sell! I like to share happy news with you and then we can celebrate with more happy dancing. Sally
