Spotlight: Candy Dish Earrings ($24)


I know it's been awhile, but do you remember the Crystal Candy Dish necklace? I finally made a pair of earrings to go with that necklace and they're great! They will definitely go with anything and everything you own. I used a very random mix of beads- from glass, to crystal, to wood- and just about every color possible! I hope you like them.

Materials: glass, crystal, wood, carnelian, coral, mother of pearl, fossil, turquoise, and lapis, all hung on a silver plated hoop.

Giveaway: San Francisco ($32)

Good morning! Today's giveaway item is a new necklace! Here's your back story:
The California Gold Rush in the late 1800's brought many wealthy entrepreneurs to the city and resulted in economic and population growth. The early success of many led them to build in extravagance and as a result, the city is well known for its Victorian architecture today. Reminiscent of that Victorian influence, this necklace's focal point is a solid smokey quartz drop faceted to look like a miniature chandelier. San Francisco is known for its gloomy days and fog that rolls in off the coast, which is why I chose this moody rock as the city's signature piece. The necklace has a simple chain but is hung in a unique way, giving it just enough detail without taking the attention away from this amazing gem.

You know the drill! You have from now until Thursday at midnight (MST) to comment on this post 3 times and be entered into the random drawing to win this necklace! Good luck!


Materials: silver finished chain, silver plated clasp and rings, smokey quartz gemstone drop

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!
