Inspired to create "glittery" jewelry by the book Kira- Kira

I recently read the 2005 Newberry Medal winner, Kira-Kira, by Cynthia Kadohata. This book is targeted for middle school age kids ( my daughter and I like to book club).

Kira-Kira means glittering in Japanese and is used in the book to describe anything that Katie likes.

The Kira-Kira Collection which will be available later today features some of my favorite "glittering gemstones" (amethyst, peridot, tourmaline, smoky quartz, iolite , aquamarine...) wire wrapped to created sparkly earrings and pendants.
