The Apatite, Shell and Crystal Chandelier Wrap Earrings…These eye-catching chandelier earrings are made with beautiful Israeli cut apatite, Swarovski crystals and teal-dyed mother-of-pearl rounds accented with Bali components. The silver has been oxidized for an antique finish.

The earrings are almost 2″ (5.08cm) long from the top of the earwire. The circle of the chandelier is a little over 3/4″ (1.91cm) wide from one side to the other. All silver is sterling.

These are one-of-a-kind. Once they are sold, I cannot remake this pair of earrings!

$59.00 – $29.50

Sorry! The day has passed and this Holiday Deal is done. Go check out the latest Holiday Deal in the series!

The group was started back in June with some fantastic theme’s to play around with. To kick off the challenge group, June’s theme was “La Dolce Vita”, which I previously blogged about. This was the piece I made for the challenge:

La Dolce Vita – $180

This necklace, made with quartz, keishe pearls and watermelon tourmaline, was a hit with the group. I think what they liked the most was its flexibility. Being wearable as one long 36″ necklace or doubled into an 18″ focal piece, really extends its life and usability.

For July, our theme was “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!” and here is my take on the theme:

This was another hit with the group. The blackened sterling silver really set off the colors of the prehnite, carnelian and apatite stones I selected. The only thing was that we couldn’t decide if I should have used peridot instead of the prehnite. I’m actually still on the fence about that! I haven’t posted these for sale, but I’ll make sure they go up next week.

With my birthday and preparations for Dragon*Con, I wasn’t able to get around to making an August “Art-Inspired Piece” theme piece, but one of the great things about this group is that we can catch up on our own time. So I have the materials set out…some beautiful rutilated quartz and imperial jasper pendants that I can’t wait to make into their own little piece of art. My September “Cocktail-Inspired Pieces” theme piece will follow shortly, I’m sure.

There are other groups I participate in that have challenges, but I’m always looking for more to help me expand my creativity. If you like challenges, one of the topics of this week’s EtsyBlogger’s Street Team Carnival is challenges or contests. Reading the the carnival would be a great way to see what other events are out there for participating.

I’ve been thinking about posing a challenge myself. It’s time to use up some supplies! What does everyone think about that?
