Featured Jewelry - Secret Garden

Well, it's been awhile, but the Jewelry of the Week is back. Since it is now Thursday, this "week" will last for 10 days. :) This week the featured set is Secret Garden. This has been one of my most ordered pieces.

The necklace is a 30" strand of hand-knotted glass lampwork beads foiled in shades of topaz, olive and jonquil yellow, some with ppink rose designs inside. Faceted aurora borealis beads, gold plated rondelles and spacers complete the look. It has a lobster claw clasp.




The 7" stretch bracelet repeats the different shapes, sizes and colors of beads in the necklace amid gold plated rondelles and spacers.





The earrings have a large rounded art glass bead with jonquil yellow foil and pink rose designs inside and is suspended from a faceted topaz bead of aurora borealis glass and a gold plated fishhook.




Anyone ordering the featured item(s) during the week that it is featured will receive 10% of the price of that item(s).
