They feature a rainbow of fiery colors in swirls of cobalt blue, fuchsia, golden amber, red, and hints of green. The beads are encased in clear glass for reflective sparkle and shine!
Swarovski Cobalt Crystals and gorgeous Bali gold vermeil beads accent the earrings.
All findings are 14k gold-filled including the earwires.
The earrings measure approximately 1-5/8” in overall length .

Definitely OBAMA!! Not that he is a for real “celebrity” but I would try for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
I would have loved to have dinner with Audrey Hepburn. Such a remarkable lady both in her film career and in her charitable life.
Thanks for a great giveaway 🙂
When I feel like spoiling myself a little, I will myself something new–a new book, some new lip gloss–it doesn’t have to be anything big…just a little something. Usually, it will be a book. I love to read and it really relaxes me.
First of all – those are AMAZING earrings.
I would say Barack Obama as well. I think he counts as a celebrity. 🙂 If not, theeeennn maybe Johnny Depp, but he’d have to be in character as Hunter S. Thompson. Yes.
What do I do to spoil myself? I buy myself a little something on Etsy! I went a little overboard tonight, so I think I needed quite a bit of spoiling…
I’d eat with Reagan. Maybe he could tell us how to fix the economy! 🙂
I like to get pedicures, although that’s a really rare treat!
I would probably choose Oprah Winfrey – she is a truly inspiring woman who shares my passion for charity and equality (and you KNOW you would be served some darn fine food!).
When I feel like spoiling myself, I pick up some supplies for a new craft I have never tried and just relax and have fun. My plans for 2009 include needle felting, collage, and stone jewelry. It is nice to take a break from the norm and escape into a foreign art form.
I would have dinner with Mercedes Lackey because she is such a FANTASTIC author, and I LOVE absolutely EVERY book she has written!
When I want to pamper myself I light all of my favorite candles, in the master bathroom and draw a HOT bath in my soaking tub, and soak until the water is getting cold.
I would have dinner with Jim Carrey.
I have a manicure and a pedicure.
Hmmmm…who would I have dinner with if it could be ANYONE???? I think it’d be Warren Buffet and hopefully I could pick his brain on how he managed to become so wealthy while maintaining his common sense!
I’ve always enjoyed getting my hair done at the beauty shop followed by a manicure and pedicure (love those massage chairs they put you in for the pedi)!
I would want to have dinner with Regis Philbin – I don’t know why, I just think he would be a lot of fun!!
To ‘spoil myself’ I make some sort of elaborate dessert…I love to bake & I don’t usually have a ‘reason’ to make a nice dessert – but I love to make them, then share them with family & friends.
It would be Elvis Presley! It would be such an honor getting to know the king of rock himself! 😉
I spoil myself by eating loads of chocolates… 😛
Probably audrey hepburn. I love breakfast at tiffanys!
I spoil myself by taking a break and reading a book. Relaxing is a form of leisure to me…
I’ll very much like to meet Nick from so you think you can dance season 1! He’s such a superb dancer.. definitely an inspiration to all dancers out there.
Well. Retail therapy works for me!! I love shopping! Takes my mind off matters.
Those earrings are beautiful!
I’d love to have dinner with the cast of Ace of Cakes!
I spoil myself by ordering pastries online. Mmm!
I have to say that the life of Jesus has always fascinated me! To live during the time of his preaching would be amazing. I am interested in how I would have reacted to him…..Thanks, Cindi
I like to indulge in a hot bubble bath with a lot of candles lit! Then, put on my comfy pajamas, sit in front of the fireplace and read a good book. Many thanks for the chance to win your lovely earrings. Cindi
I think definitely JESUS!! I have thought recently like to walk in the midst of Him and listen to Him and to be close to Him would be amazing.
Spoiling myself? Hmmm I go for a delcious Jamocoa Almond Fudge Ice-cream Cone at Baskin Robbins!! 🙂
I left a comment on another posty!
omg…how do you make such beautiful earrings?
ok my first question. i’d love to have dinner with…Winston Churchill! It’d be so fascinating sitting with him and hearing what he has to say.
when i want to spoil myself, i go out and buy myself a treat. it doesn’t have to be something edible…it can be pampering products, a nice sweather, anything really!
At this moment, if I could have dinner with any celebrity it would be Paul Newman AND Joanne Woodard. Their marriage was enduring, as mine is. He was a powerful talent. I admire his philantropic deeds. I miss him and will remember him as one of the best actors that ever lived.
When I want to pamper myself? Well, I never think of it as pampering myself. Lets just say I don’t deprive myself of beads, or bead books and magazines within reason. But then, they ARE a necessity!!
I would love to have dinner with Harriet Tubman. Can you imagine what she did…only a woman could possess such strength of spirit…you go girl.
To spoil myself I go to the water and sit on a bench and stare out over the Chesapeake Bay and let peace wash into me. It doesn’t sound like much of an indulgance but it is.
I checked out “Pioneer Woman”. What a great recipe site. She puts such good pictures online so its easy to follow her recipes…
I would love to have dinner with Shirley Temple. To just let her know that her movies made my childhood so much better.
To pamper myself I just take a long hot bath.
I would have dinner with Adrien Brody because I’m impressed with his acting and he is an actor that you really don’t see much press coverage on.
When I want to spoil myself, I go out to an Italian restaurant and have a daiquiri (or three) when I get home.
I would love to have dinner with Katherine Hepburn. Thanks for the giveaway.
When I spoil myself I have to have a pedicure. It’s so relaxing.
He shouldn’t be considered a “celebrity”, but I’d say President-Elect Obama. Thanks for the chance.
definitely hugh grant! i have had the longest crush on him and i think he is a terrific actor.
when i want to spoil myself, i curl up in bed with my favourite book or a movie. i can’t tell you how good that makes me feel!
to spoil myself, i set aside time to do something just for me that i donnt have time for everyday, like make a cup of tea and either do a craft that i’ve been thinking about, or read a book.
i think sophia loren would be a good dinner date
I’d have to say George Clooney. I’d like to see if those eyes are as beautiful as they appear to be.
Do Barack and Michelle Obama count as celebrities? If so (and according to some of the political ads this year – they do!) then I would love to sit down this year and have dinner with that couple and hear all about their whirlwind ride to the White House. Thanks for the chance!
