Flowers and chocolate are what's expected on Valentine's Day. But what about those of us who live outside the box a bit? Who prefer the unexpected? Artists have got you covered! Flowers? How about the kind that won't fade away and die next week...
Glass flowers on aluminum stems and base
SOLD! A five-bud glass bouquet features deep red, carmel, orange, root beer and butter colors, which are especially nice in homes decorated with the rich, warm colors. Each flower is 4" across. The aluminum stems are hollow, and each flower screws into the top. The aluminum base is weighted, so it won't tip easily. Made in Arizona by Scott Johnson. The price of $120 includes shipping. If you live outside Washington state, expect a refund check for the sales tax.
Fused glass on steel frame with votive behind
Keep the flame of your love alive with this fused glass heart, where a votive cup is behind. It glows beautifully when lit!

Shipping included in the price. If you live outside Washington state, expect a refund check for the sales tax.
Hand-built clay sculpture of "The Flame"
"The Flame" is kept burning in its safe cradle, forever keeping your love alive. This sculpture is two pieces - the red flame and the black cradle.

If you live outside Washington state, expect a refund check for the sales tax.

Let your Valentine's gifts be different and unique this year! Jeff and Manya Your Beauty Ambassadors
Garnets, with their deep red hue, are the most popular gemstone we sell here at MaJe Gallery.
It's January as I write, and garnet is the birthstone for January. This is a great time to consider treating yourself to a unique and beautiful piece of artisan jewelry to commemorate your birth!
We posted a few in the blog just before this, but have received several new designs we'd like to share.
New earring design by Shari Both with garnets and gold-fill
Deep red garnets are one of the most popular stones we offer at MaJe Gallery. The particular shade of red is very attractive, and can be worn with lots of other colors. Red is a power color, so wearing it might bring out your inner Wonder Woman!
Garnet is also the birthstone for those born in the month of January.
As you can imagine, we have quite a variety of jewelry options for those seeking a distinctive piece of jewelry in honor of their birth month. Of course, you don't have to be born in January to wear it!
Garnet, Pearl and gold fill, by Shari Both Jewelry Design
I can see Queen Elizabeth wearing such a stunning piece as this! Or perhaps Lady Mary from Downton Abbey, since she wears deep red so often. Let's take a look at a ring that is also evocative of royalty...
This triple garnet ring features a center rectangle shape flanked by two squares. Each stone was hand-selected and faceted by the master, Bill Booze. Even though they are bezel-set, there is still lots of life and color within the garnets, to sparkle and show off their intense hues. Each stone is set in a 14k yellow gold bezel, and it's a sterling band. This one-of-a-kind ring is absolutely stunning on the hand. Simple and elegant, yet commanding.
Garnet pendant in sterling silver, by master faceter Bill Booze
Another example of the magic a master faceter can work on a high quality stone. Bill Booze has been honing his faceting skills on quality gems for over 30 years. He collects only the most beautiful stones, and they are in the rough. He then uses techniques mastered over the years to bring out the best qualities in each stone, and make it sparkle beautifully. This 3.5 carat garnet is a rich, deep red. He set it in sterling to help keep the price more affordable than gold. Isn't it gorgeous?
Romantic garnet set by Manya Vee, in sterling
The set above is inspired by jewelry of the Victorian age, yet with a modern twist. Various shapes of garnet are wired onto a delicate sterling chain. Coordinating earrings complete it as an excellent set that will be worn for years. Let it dress up your jeans, or pair it with a dress for special occasions. Lots more options of garnet jewelry await your pleasure upon a visit to MaJe Gallery! We hope you'll come by soon! Jeff and Manya Your Beauty Ambassadors Have fun with us!

Artisan jewelry comes in such variety of style and price, that you are sure to find the perfect piece for the jewelry lovers on your list this holiday season.
Earrings are popular because, well, a girl can never have too many earrings. And secondly, you don't have to worry about the right size, like you do with a ring. Here are some great choices:
Small sterling circles, dichroic glass beauties, and black and gold teardrops
On the left, for $22, we have simple hammered sterling circles by Seattle jeweler Emily Hickman. In the middle are the magical dichroic glass earrings of Everett's Gale Franko. Many choices available, and only $29 each. On the right are the popular black and gold earrings by Manya Vee for $38.

Here's Manya Vee modeling a multi-strand ribbon necklace by Teresa Goodall, with matching earrings
Of course, that's for the woman who likes to wear larger jewelry and have a little fun with it. A slightly more subdued version of that might be this next option.
Here's Manya Vee modeling the vintage tin charm necklace and ladybug pendant by Emily Hickman
This is two separate necklaces that look great together. Both are made by Seattle's Emily Hickman from her Tin Moon Jewelryworks line. The most beautiful part of vintage tins are cut out and turned into fabulous jewelry. Each charm on the necklace is reversible! This looks great on any solid color you can imagine.
Turning another page, perhaps your gift recipient is elegant and refined. What to do then? In that case, we choose from our extensive collection of hand-faceted gems by Bill Booze, or the timeless line of New York's Ed Levin.

5 ornaments of fused glass. 5" tall x 2" wide. Made in North Carolina by Back Porch Glass Chimes
Also made by Back Porch Glass Chimes, these little "tomtes" are too adorable for words.
These pieces are a bit smaller, 2" wide at the bottom, and 3.25" tall. They make me think of a kid trying to sneak a peak at Santa on Christmas eve. Gnomes, or elves, or whatever they are to you, they are definitely cute. Also $14 each.
Fused glass trees on an aluminum frame, with votive behind
This trio of fused glass Christmas trees are adhered to an aluminum frame that is open in the back. A candle cup is glued to the attached stand, so when the candle is lit, it glows through the glass so beautifully. These are great as a trio, as well as fantastic gifts individually. Tallest is 9.5" tall x 4.25" wide at widest part of tree. Medium is 8" tall x 3.5" wide at widest part of tree. Small is 6" tall x 2.5" wide at widest part of tree.

Our new bubble skirts are just the ticket. You can wear them three different ways! And at only $56 each, why stop at only one? If the color and/or size you want isn't in stock, we'll order it for you!
Midnight Teal bubble skirt
sizes
THIS COLOR CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK. Call or Email to discover available colors.
Here's an image of the skirt all by itself. It's shown here in the midnight teal color, which is a wonderful medium blue with a hint of green. The wide elastic waistband is super comfortable, and holds everything in without giving you a muffin top. All skirts come in S, M, L and XL.
Midnight teal bubble skirt, with eggplant bamboo top
THIS COLOR CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK. Call or Email to discover available colors.
Just say no to black! Rather, pair your teal skirt with a gorgeous eggplant top! Here we have an assymetrical top made of bamboo. The drapiness works beautifully with the lines of the skirt. And it's got color, without being in your face about it.
Bubble skirt in charcoal, inside out!
We like to turn the skirt inside out on occasion. Now you can see the strips of fabric that tie up to give the skirt the bubbles. But with the ties on the outside, you've transformed it into a feminine marvel! In this outfit, we've paired it with a burgundy tank top from Luxe Junkie and a black bolero jacket from Testimony. Isn't that just an outfit to die for?
Bubble skirt without the ties. Long, slightly A-line, and nicely flowing
THIS COLOR CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK. Call or Email to discover available colors.
Here's the bubble skirt in the mushroom color. It's a really great light brown that can be worn all seasons. None of the ties are tied in this one, for a long, lean look. The caveat here is you should be at least 5'6" tall to wear it. We've got it paired with a funky Claudia top from Testimony, and an amazing hand-made scarf by Andi Shannon.
We have it in these three colors, shown here, at the gallery. However, it's available in lots of different colors. Ask to see the swatches and choose the color that's best for you.
Come on down and play with our skirts! They are fairly flying out the door because they are so cute and such a great price!
