Flowers and Hummingbirds Fill Miriam's Gemstone Garden of Pewter Bookmarkers (PBGem-Garden)
Lovely bouquets of Natural Semiprecious Gemstone beads with three "garden" carved bookmarkers: FLOWERS or LOVELY ROSES rest on vines of leaves. A HUMMINGBIRD flutters its colorful wings as it sips the sweet nectar from a freshly bloomed desert flower. All bookmakers are generously carved on both sides. Accent beads are a mix of pewter and silvertoned metal. Gemstones shown in the photos are as follows:
- Left: Flowers in Yellow Jade
- Center: Hummingbird in Aqua Terra Jasper
- Right: Roses in Pink-Peachy Rhodonite

All bookmarkers measure approximately 6 inches in length from the top of the curve to the end of the handle. The string of artfully designed beads, ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches, is designed to drape gracefully over the spine of any size book (hardcover or paperback). While the same stones, beads and colors may be used in more than one item, unless specifically noted, Miriam arranges the beads in a unique combination for each bookmark. Pewter contains lead and is not recommended for use by children.All products are packaged in a gift box, with a polishing cloth for the pewter, and a description of the gemstones used.
