I know you have been wondering what the give-away will be for reaching 700 fans, right? Well here it is! These earrings are a brand-new O. Sebastian design and I'm in love with them. I've been on a "fidget" kick lately -- meaning that I've been fascinated with making jewelry with elements that spin, twirl, or otherwise give you something to fidget with while you are sitting still. Did I mention I don't sit still very well? I bet that doesn't surprise any of you one bit :) These earrings are made with sterling wire, beads and findings and those focal beads at the bottom? Those are 15mm gorgeous, dark purple amethyst drum beads that have been in my bead box for a long while, just waiting for me to do something wonderful with them. (The beads approve of this design, by the way.) The best part is that the drum beads spin like little wheels, so you can sit and fidget with them as you wear them. There are also a couple of crystal AB 6mm Swarovski crystals thrown in... you know I can't resist adding a touch of sparkle. Hope you love them too!
Wait? What's that? OH! You want to know how to win them! That's easy -- just leave a comment on this post over sometime between now (which is about 8 pm on Thursday, August 26th) and 8 pm (central standard time) on Saturday, August 28th. That happens to be my birthday -- see how clever I am with all this celebrating? When you post, tell me what you think of the earrings and leave me your email address so that I can contact the winner after I draw a name on Saturday.
Thank you all for being a part of helping me reach 700 fans -- I could never have done this without you :)
Love them! Gorgeous work!
