Hi Gina, first of all, I would like to thank you for all the beautiful tutorials, unboxings and reviews of all the beautiful designs that you have created. I remember when I came across your channel. I was and still am intrigued by all the beautiful pieces you have created. I've even made some pieces from your videos as gifts to family and friends. I understand perfectly how sometimes you have to step back and take care of your health. I love and appreciate you and your talent and will pray for healing and strength for you and your family. Take as much time as you need and remember you are well loved. God bless you and sending prayers up! :D :D <3 <3 <3

Gina, I need to add that I have also watched you from your early days. I was at the same place when you started working with 2 holed beads more. I’m in awe of what you’ve done during a time when I’ve barely gotten the courage to design! Because of you, I will do more of my own design! I promise! Prayers!!

Gina, your unboxing of the first Gemstone Orphanage box got me hooked on "adopting" them. You have a lovely way of describing, explaining, showing, instructing...I've learned so much from your tutorials...and am grateful to be able to watch and re-watch while you take a much deserved breather. Be well...

Hi Gina, first of all, thank you very much for all the wonderful content and tutorials that you've given us! It's been amazing, thoughtful, inspiring and lots of fun. Next, take care of yourself, we love you and will continue to support you, the channel and your business. You're important to us and your health comes first, so make sure to take care of it. You've created a seemingly endless wealth of information in videos that I'm still discovering. All this to say "Thanks, take care, and we love you!"

Hey Gina! First & foremost, prayers for you during this time. Second, you have been such an inspiration to me. I had given up with my jewelry making venture, but your videos convinced me to do the therapy I needed. I know what it's like to have to step back from what you love doing in order to take care of yourself. We'll still be here 🙂. God Bless 🙏

Hi Gina! You are one of the first you tube channels I started watching when I started learning how to make jewelry! As others have said, thank you very very much for all your unboxings, tutorials, and finished projects. Best wishes and prayers for overcoming your health issues. I hope you are well soon. Hope to see back in a few months.

Orchid and Opal Jewelry & Beads
Dear viewers, supporters, and friends of Orchid and Opal,
It's with much careful consideration that I have decided to make the very difficult decision to take a leave of absence from creating new video content for Orchid and Opal during the months of August and September (if this time-frame should change, I will follow-up). For five whirlwind years, I have immensely enjoyed seeing my channel/business grow to where it is today, with your support, and I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to each one of YOU for being a part of this journey!!
While I don't foresee this journey being over anytime soon, I do see the need to officially announce stepping back for at least a couple of months, primarily to deal with a personal health issue, and secondly to evaluate the long-term plans/goals pertaining to the future success and growth of Orchid and Opal.
Please continue to enjoy watching past content, and share the videos with your other beading friends!! I hope to be back before you know it, and in better working order. ;-). In the meantime, you will still see some limited, pre-arranged videos pop-up, but unfortunately my response to comments during this time will continue to be very limited. Please don't let that hinder you from commenting, though, and know it is nothing personal. I truly appreciate each and every one of you, and hope you all have a fantastic summer of bead creativity, and warmer weather!!
Best,
Gina 💜💜💜
