Giveaway: Icy Blossoms Necklace ($42)

Welcome back! Is anyone else completely freaked out by the fact that it's October already? Off topic, I know, but definitely what's on my mind at the moment. Anyway, this weeks Giveaway is a brand new necklace that I designed over the weekend and am absolutely in love with. I'm calling it "Icy Blossoms" because I used a vintage crystal from my collection salvaged off of an old lamp, (click here for a link to that post) and a few random flower beads that ended up going together perfectly. I love the simplicity, the daintiness, and the colors! The crystals are stunning and definitely take center stage in this piece. Someone is going to get very lucky with this one! Remember, all you have to do is comment on this post throughout the week (until Thursday at midnight) to be entered to win. The odds are in your favor! Just do it!

Materials: distressed silver finished chain, silver plated clasp, vintage crystal pendant, hand distressed silver plated rose charm, glass and acrylic beads.

This silver plated rose charm was bright silver, but I wanted it to look more antiqued so I hand distressed it to give it this awesome finish. LOVE the finished product!

This is so BEAUTIFUL! You are very creative and talented...Where do you currently sell your pieces?

Lauren at Ruth Parker Jewelry said...

For now, I'm accepting payment through PayPal, so I've asked everyone to contact me with which piece(s) they want, and I'll send over an invoice by email with the detailed information. I have all of my policies listed under the "Just the FAQ's" button if you need more information. I'm hoping to be up and running on Etsy in the next couple of weeks, so once that happens it will be a lot easier on everyone!
