On the 12th Day of Holiday Deals... · Nov 24, 11:00 PM

On the 12th day of holiday deals, A Pretty Rock offered me…a plethora of items at half off!

For a big bang on the last day of the holiday deals, I’ve decided to offer, not one, not two, but many items at 50% off. Here’s the catch…These are all one-of-a-kind pieces. I will not be making these again. No one else will have these pieces in their jewelry wardrobe…at least, not made by my hand.

Without further ado, here are the items of the day:

The Top Drill and Coin Pearl Peacock Necklace…Securely hand-knotted with black silk, this exquisite necklace is composed of lustrous top drilled button pearls and elegant coin pearls. The variations in pearl sizes and shapes are brought to the eye by a large, off-center bali bead. A hint of sparkle is added with glimmering Swarovski crystals accenting the lovely and delicate top drilled button pearls.

This necklace is absolutely fabulous at its 16 1/2” (41.91cm) length! All metal is sterling silver.

$92.00 – $46.00
Item #: N077

The Whirlwind Carnelian Nugget Bracelet…So irregular in their shape and faceting, these carnelian faceted nuggets are beautiful in and of themselves. Together, however, they make a fantastic bracelet that demands to be noticed! Paired with handmade whirlwind beads created by many yards of wrapped wire, this bracelet is a one-of-a-kind piece.

While this bracelet is 8 1/4” (21.00cm) long, because of the size of the carnelian nuggets, it only fits up to a 7” (17.80cm) wrist.

$92.00 – $46.00
Item #: B077

The Criss Cross Cuff – Faceted Amazonite and Volcano Ice Crystals…Always a timely classic, this criss cross cuff is made with faceted Amazonite rounds and Swarovski crystals. Dress it up or down because it goes great with jeans or your little black dress.

The cuff is stiff sitting on the wrist at 6 1/2” (16.51cm) and 1/2” (1.27cm) wide. All silver is sterling.

$98.00 – $49.00
Item #: B084

The Turquoise Wrecker Ball & Chain Necklace…Have a ball with this eye-catching turquoise colored stone topped with a turquoise dyed pearl and dazzling Swarovski Crystals on an oxidized sterling silver chain. (I wish I could tell you what the turquoise colored stone was, but I have no idea. If you know, let me know! :) )

Necklace length is 18” (45.72 cm). All silver is sterling and oxidized for an antique finish.

$54.00 – $27.00
Item #: N051

The Coconut and White Nugget Bracelet…Perfect for any getaway, this tropical look bracelet is made with white glass nuggets and coconut heishe. The piece has been oxidized to make the white stand out more. Clasp is handformed and hammered for sturdiness.

The bracelet fits a size 7 1/2” (19.05 cm). All silver is sterling.

$34.00 – $17.00
Item #: B087

The Coconut and White Nugget Necklace…At 43 1/2” (110.49 cm), this is a long necklace great for draping over lean styles or for wrapping once for an asymmetrical, double strand look. It’s made with white glass nuggets and coconut heishe securely handwired to links from handmade twisted chain. The piece has been oxidized to make the white beads stand out more. Clasp is handformed and hammered for increased sturdiness. All silver is sterling.

$76.00 – $38.00
Item #: N111

The Garden Cluster Bangle – Pearl, Citrine and Coral Bracelet…Multiple coils of fine silver wire decorate a sterling silver bangle core decorated with Israeli-faceted citrines, olive dyed coral, coppery red pearls and golden keishe freshwater pearls.

The bracelet is 2 5/8” (6.67cm) in diameter. All silver is sterling and has been oxidized for an antique finish.

$164.00 – $82.00
Item #: B101

The Criss Cross Cuff – Golden Pearls Bracelet…Always a timely classic, this criss cross cuff is made with vibrantly festive golden pearls and swarovski crystals. Dress it up or down because it goes great with jeans or your little black dress.

The cuff is stiff sitting on the wrist at 6 3/4” (17.15 cm) and 1/2” (1.27cm) wide. All metal is 14kt gold-filled.

$92.00 – $46.00
Item #: B089

The Charmed – Paua Teardrop and Chalcedony Heart Necklace…One of my favorite pieces…dyed chalcedony is paired with a matching paua teardrop shell and a vermeil charm, all hanging on an intricate 14kt gold-filled chain. Necklace closes with a handmade clasp.

The necklace measures 16” (40.64 cm) long finished with a 2” (5.08 cm) extender and vermeil charm. All wire is 14kt gold-filled.

$54.00 – $27.00
Item #: N124

The Sodalite Heart Cascades Earrings…Beautiful sodalite faceted rectangles are paired with a cascade of freshwater pearls topped with bali daisy spacers. The cascades of white are finished with an oxidized heart filigree charm.

The earrings are approximately 3 1/4” (8.25 cm) from the top of the earwire. All silver is sterling.

Item #: E292
