Posted on January 12, 2009 by crystal

This pretty handcrafted necklace features a colorful lampwork glass pendant.

The teardrop-shaped pendant has a copper-colored background that’s highlighted with swirling shades of blue, lavender purple, green, gold, and cream.

The pendant is suspended from a necklace of lavender metallic seed beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals in both lavender and amethyst.

Measurements:

The Necklace measures 17″ in length, and has a sterling silver clasp.

The Lampwork “Teardrop” Pendant measures 1-3/8″ from top to bottom.

Contest Rules and How To Enter

1. Leave a comment that mentions your pet peeve. For example mine is: I’m leaving a store and because I see someone else behind me, I pause in the doorway and hold the door open. I assume that this person will then reach out to put his or her hand on the door so I can let go and be on my way. But instead (and it seems to be happening a lot lately!) people just breeze by me without a word – as if I were their own personal door-holder! That bugs me!
Describe what bugs you 😉 and that will give you one chance to win.

2. For a second chance to win, leave a second comment that answers the question: When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper; put it in an envelope; put a stamp on it and mailed it?

3. For a third chance to win, leave a comment describing the last time you dressed fancy . . . What did you wear and what was the occasion?

A valid email address must be given at time of entry. You must be 18 yrs. old. The name of the winner will be added to this post after the completion of the contest and the winner will be notified by email. The prize will be sent by USPS First Class Mail.
