Hi there 🙂
Welcome to the weekly giveaway. Last week’s comments were fabulous! I’m so inspired by all of you smart shoppers and the amazing bargains you’ve found! I also loved your honest and sometimes very amusing answers to the question on birthstones! Thanks to everyone for leaving such interesting and thoughtful comments.
This week’s giveaway is a sleek and sassy pair of leverback earrings. They’d be pretty with just about any outfit in your closet!
I’m calling them “Lil Black Dress” because I think they could be the earrings you reach for often – just like that little dress you can always count on when you need to look your best. The earrings feature three-dimensional “Daisy” beads in sterling silver, Swarovski Jet AB Crystals that flash glorious shades of blue, violet, and teal, and jet black Czech beads in a faceted teardrop shape. All metal embellishments & findings are sterling silver, including the “hammered” leverbacks.
Measurements: approximately 2″ long
