Giveaway – Gift of Athena Earrings

oscarsm1Hello there! 🙂

How was your weekend? Did you watch the Oscars?

We had a touch of Spring in New England! The bright sunshine and temperatures in the 50’s seemed to energize both people and wildlife, here. Birds were chirping and neighbors were hiking and biking. I actually started a little “spring cleaning”, but not too much. After all, the weekend should be more play than work, don’t you think? 😉

For this week’s giveaway, I have a unique pair of earrings. The color palette reminds me of ancient Greek pottery that I’ve seen in our local art museum. The rich gold, black, and coppery bronze are wonderful neutrals that will coordinate with lots of things in your wardrobe.

GiftAthenaEars-398x400a

For the focal points, I chose Vintage West German Lucite beads in the shape of roses. They’re a burnished golden hue with a beautiful 3-dimensional effect. The roses are accented with Swarovski Jet Crystals and copper-colored, faceted glass rondelles. For pierced ears, these earrings measure 2″ in length – including the artisan crafted, 14k gold-filled earwires.

Giveaway – Dew Kissed Rose Earrings

daffodilWarm Greetings on this first day of March!

Can you believe we’ll be setting the clocks ahead in just a couple of weeks? It’s been wonderful to see the daylight lasting longer and longer into the evening over the last two months, and I’m especially looking forward to adding that hour! 🙂

For this week’s giveaway I have a very sweet pair of earrings!

If you’ve ever been in a garden early on a summer morning, you know how the sun dances on flower petals making dewdrops sparkle like tiny diamonds. These pretty earrings have that same effect.

DewkissRoseEarzzz

They feature a very beautiful and increasingly rare type of bead – “Vintage Confetti Lucite”. These beads are a transparent light rose pink with tiny bits of silver glitter sprinkled within the lucite. The glitter under the surface gives them a very subtle sparkle – so pretty!!! I’ve accented the lucite beads with Swarovski Rose Aurora Borealis Crystals and tiny silverplated beadcaps.

Measurements: The length is 1-1/2″ including the earwires, which are made of Sterling Silver.

Today’s question is:

Pretend that you’ve been cleaning out your elderly aunt’s basement and you came across an old lamp. You dusted it off and a genie appeared! He offered to transport you to anytime in the PAST – either a time in your own life or to any other era in history. To what time would you travel and what would you do when you get there?

Giveaway – Spring Blossoms Pendant

winterspringHello, hello!

Welcome to my weekly giveaway!

Are you watching the Olympics? We’ve really been enjoying it! Of course, we love the figure skating, but we also watch as many of the other sports as we can, and find ourselves cheering enthusiastically for all of the countries! 🙂

curlyline

For this week’s giveaway, I have a little “breath” of Spring. Can you picture this on one of your silver chains? Or maybe you’ll put it on a cord or a piece of satin ribbon!

springblosspend

A gorgeous artisan-crafted lampwork glass bead is the focal point here. It’s just bursting with pretty blossoms in a pastel palette of pinks, aqua, lavender, and more. I’ve accented the floral bead with Czech glass flowers and Swarovski crystals. The heart-shaped bail is sterling silver, and it’s generous enough that it should accommodate one of the chains that you have in your jewelry wardrobe. The pendant measures 1-1/2” in length – including the bail.

Giveaway- Signs of Spring Earrings

snowflakeperiwinkleOh, hi there. 🙂

Welcome to my weekly giveaway!

You know, winter can be so beautiful when everything is covered in a fresh blanket of snow . . . but once that snow melts – the bare brown landscape looks awfully bleak. It’s then that I begin to look for signs of Spring.

Now, when I think “Spring”, the color green, um, “springs” to mind. (Sorry for the pun; I couldn’t resist.) 😉

I designed these earrings as a reminder that the trees will soon be in bud again!

“Signs of Spring”

signs spring ears1

I chose shades of peridot and olivine green. You’ll notice both artisan-crafted lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals, which are embellished with lacey bead caps. All of the metal components are sterling silver – including the artisan-crafted sterling silver earwires. Total length: 1-5/8” inches.
