Thumbelina Chain Fringed Pendant, Turquoise & Vintage Swarovski Crystal Necklace

When the story opens, a tiny girl emerges from a flower. She is named Thumbelina and is carried off by a toad. She escapes the toad and drifts on a lily pad until becoming the captive of a beetle. Eventually, she is given shelter by a field mouse who suggests she marry her neighbor, a mole. Thumbelina finds the prospect of being married to a mole unattractive and escapes the situation by fleeing to a far land with a swallow she nursed back to health during a severe winter. In a field of flowers, Thumbelina meets a fairy prince just her size and they wed. Thumbelina receives a pair of wings to accompany her husband on his travels from flower to flower. - Hans Christian Andersen



All designs handcrafted and One-Of-A-Kind!
 
Soon to be available in my Etsy Shop & Artfire Studio

Smoke Quartz Swarovski Crystal Bracelet w/ Vintage Charms


I am so pleased with the way this bracelet has come to life! As I sit here slightly blurry eyed after a long day preparing too remerchandising my jewelry display in the "Rob Davis Hair Salon" Atlanta, Ga. 30308.

This new design "Smoke Quartz Swarovski Crystal Bracelet w/ Vintage Charms" will be among the new arrives to be installed tomorrow.

Chunky, luminous, faceted smoke quartz in a natural raw umber brown has been hand wrapped using oxidized (nickel free) brass wire. Swarovski margarita beveled disks accent either side of the 1in. gemstone and add a warm sparkle. The 7.5 - 8in. bracelet is secured by a hand crafted solid brass hook and eye.

I have attached a soft gold tone vintage flower with a twinkling center to the hook end. An antiqued brass filigreed diamond & a hand wrapped polished tiger eye stone ending in a solitary amber Swarovski crystal charm the opposite eye of the extender chain echoing the warm chocolate tones throughout the design.
