I just finished re-designing both my sites and linking them back to etsy. Etsy doesn't allow you to post links or URLs anywhere in your shop to your website as it encourages buyers to purchase your items elsewhere and that's considered fee avoidance. You cannot list an item for sale on Etsy and then list the same item for sale anywhere else.
Previously, I had been listing items on etsy and listing different items on my own website. This became a bit difficult for me, like trying to run numerous shops when all I really needed a website for is to drive more traffic to my etsy shop and list more information, have a page with it's own look and feel that tells people what my designs are about.
I've basically taken advantage of Etsy mini to create my website and all my items are linked back to etsy. All items can only be purchased through etsy so it's not fee avoidance. Hopefully things will just be much easier now.

I love a nice pair of simple brio earrings because they're so easy to wear, you can take them from casual to work to going out and they always look so pretty and elegant.
I made two pairs, the rosequartz ones are for myself, lol and and I'll put the blue chalcedonly ones up on etsy shortly:
MAH earrings!

Sagittariusgallery posted a great newbie guide in the Etsy forums which is basically a list questions frequently posted in the help section with links to thread answers. It's a really well thought-out post that's very helpful and I'm sure it took a long time to compile so I thought I'd post a link here in case it gets buried: -

This is such a nice idea, it's really whimisal and sweet and I think we could all do with one of these at times: -

I've really been loving Andalusite lately. It really does seem to be an up-and-coming favourite among jewelry designers and it really is a fantastic gem. Faceted andalusite brios look great, they've got red, green, and yellow colours that resembles a muted form of iridescence.
Andalusite is a polymorph [kyanite and sillimanite], it's pleochroic so it shows different colours in different directions and it's really affordable too. How did I not discover this until now! I'm usually quite well up about these things.
Bestbeads had some for sale on Etsy, they're all sold out now but there's a good picture of it: -
