Giveaway! ‘Fuchsia Blossoms’ Pendant

Posted on December 1, 2008 by crystal

This week’s giveaway is a beautiful pendant that features a lampwork glass bead as its focal point. The bead is a shimmering pearly-white with delicate swirls of fuchsia and aqua! It’s accented with sparkling Swarovski crystals in a coordinating shade of fuchsia, and all of the metal components are sterling silver!

'Fuchsia Blossoms' Pendant

This pendant measures almost 2 inches in length, and has a generously sized bail so it should easily fit on a chain that you own. Or maybe you have a black cord, or you’ll buy a piece of satin ribbon and wear it high on the neck for a look that is trés chic!

Perfect for a holiday gift . . . if you can part with it! 😉

So remember – everyone who entered this bracelet giveaway will have at least one entry in next week’s drawing!!! But enough with the suspense, right? You want to hear who won this week!

Drum roll, please… The winner of the “Winter Moon Bracelet” is heather!

To introduce new readers to our blog and new shoppers to our online bead store, we’re sponsoring a drawing for a pre-holiday give-away!!!

Winter Moon Bracelet in Royal Blue and Purple

The prize is a beautiful handcrafted bracelet called “Winter Moon” (pictured above).

This bracelet features absolutely gorgeous Czech glass beads, which were made from vintage button molds!

The beads are a fabulous shade of blue – somewhere between cornflower and royal blue. They have a textured design of soft swirls on both sides, and an aurora borealis finish that flashes every color of a pastel rainbow!!

I’ve accented the “button” beads with Swarovski crystals in both tanzanite and burgundy ab x2, and tiny silver-lined glass seed beads.

The bracelet fastens with a very pretty silver-plated “toggle” clasp.

Measurements: approximately 7-1/2″ long, and 1/2″ wide.

It would make a lovely holiday gift, or perhaps you’ll keep it for yourself! 😉
