Giveaway – Spring Blossoms Pendant

Posted on by

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! 🙂

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!

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.
