With a larger easy closure clasp and a twisted and smooth handmade chain link, this bracelet will quickly become one of your favorites.

Hovering below is a bed of faceted Amethyst rounds and pink dyed button pearls, with a beautiful pink Peruvian Opal faceted barrel bead. All of these beautiful components are securely handwired to a wire wrapped frame and hang from handshaped vermeil earwires.
Due to the size of the Amethysts, these earrings are more on the heavy side weighing in at approximately 1.25 ounces each.
This piece is part of my “Inspired” collection. Inspired by Jujem71’s photo Matchstick on Flickr.

12 Days of Holiday Deals - 2009 · 11/10/2009
Last year, I really had tons of fun working with all the shoppers and helping them get their presents in order before we all moved into the very hectic holiday season. So I decided to bring back the 12 Days of Holiday Deals event!
Starting Wednesday, November 11th, I’ll be running a 12 Days of Holiday Deals event right here on my blog! Check back every day, as I’m offering one item on my site at a discount of 30% – 50% off the regular price of the item.
As a little extra “thank you” to everyone who stops by during my 12 Days of Holiday Deals, for each item purchased or each comment left (1 each a day), you’ll get entered to win a $50 gift certificate to my shop on November 23rd! Also, if you are a newsletter subscriber or you subscribe to my newsletter during the 12 Days of Holiday Deals AND you make a purchase, you’ll get 2 more chances to win the gift certificate.
Now here is where the event is a little different from last years:

Don’t forget! I gift wrap all my items in a beautiful brown pillow boxes with a decorative ribbon. One less thing for you to worry about! (When purchasing, if you’d like for me to remove the price tag before giftwrapping, let me know!)

And the Holiday Deals Gift Certificate Winner is... · 11/26/2008
I have to say that this 12 Days of Holiday Deals promotion was one of the most fun promos I’ve done in a long time! Getting comments from you guys, letting me know what you do and don’t like has just been great. With the slow economy, I’m glad to know I was able to provide a few sales and help out with your Christmas shopping here and there, even if my sales were still far less than I had expected.
Don’t get me wrong, I would love for my jewelry to be flying off the website. However, I do understand that it is a luxury item. I also understand that with the turn of the economy, many of us have little money to be spread far and wide for gifts. (J and I, for example, are limiting our Christmas shopping with a cash budget, otherwise we just go overboard and can’t stop.) So, regardless, I’m glad that I was able to help out!
I do want to do more promotions like this (I’m really not lying when I say this was a lot of fun!) So if you have any ideas on what you’d like to see me do, let me know. I’m all ears!
For those of you waiting to see who the winners are, you’ll be glad to know that your odds were just fantastic for winning (at least 1 in 30)! So, with the help of Random.org and without further ado, the $25 gift certificate winner is:
Congratulations, Betty! Make sure to contact me with information on how to get your gift certificate!
If you placed an order during the 12 Days promotion and asked me to hold it until the end, I’ll be working on getting those packaged up for you this weekend.

On the 12th Day of Holiday Deals... · 11/24/2008
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.
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.
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.
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! :) )

Shipping Update on 12 Days of Holiday Deals · 11/15/2008
I’ve been getting a great response from those of you writing me to let me know that you love the promotion. Thank you! I appreciate that more than you know.
(FYI -This picture has nothing to do
with the post, but that
it is a postal picture.
I just thought it was fitting.)
One question that came in asked me if I could hold orders until the 12 Days of Holiday Deals had passed. Of course! I also know that you probably do not want to pay for shipping again (and even if you did, I would refund your shipping money excess.) So, please feel free to use the following discount code for free shipping after you’ve already paid for shipping once:
Pretty simply, huh? There’s so much going on, I’m definitely trying to keep it that way for everyone!
Make sure to stay tuned! Plenty of great necklaces and earrings are in the line up…I even have one brand new bracelet to unveil during the 12 days. Don’t miss it!
