Thanks for coming out to my blog!  To show my thanks, I will be holding a drawing on Saturday morning at 9:00 for a free pair of earrings of your choice from my Signature Colors Collection pictured below.   To enter, comment here or on the Facebook post with your answer to this question:  If you only wear one piece of jewelry (other than a wedding ring,) what do you choose?

Earrings for the New Year

There was a very eye-catching red and black necklace on a mannequin at Kohl's during the winter. It had a large silk flower on ribbon where this design has a bow, but it was very fun to try to replicate the look. I'm not sure if I should share this detail, but if you are concerned for our environment and appreciate re-used materials, you'll be glad to know that the ribbon was a part of packaging for Valentine chocolates!

After the original necklace was complete, I came across this large sculptural turquoise bead. It was on my workspace near the multistrand piece and I saw that they were kindred spirits. Cool! I made a necklace that could do double duty by making a second pendant with the turquoise!
