Frog Prince - NOT FOR SALE

I love fairytales -- they all have happy endings and simple solutions to complex problems :-))

One kiss and ... poof! ... order is restored, sleeping princesses awake to their true love and a cursed prince turns back into human form after spending time as a frog.

And so in tribute to happily-ever-after is this necklace which serves as a reminder that beneath even the unlikeliest of situations, some good may lie.

In the fairytale, a princess kisses a frog and frees him from the curse of being an amphibian forever.

I'm keeping this one because I don't have any more of the lovely froggie charms (bought in the US last year). This necklace is made in the style of Lucky Ladybird and features green chrysocolla, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals.

Chain is 14K gold-filled and toggle clasp is gold-plated.

Metaphysical properties of Chrysocolla: Chrysocolla is said to be good for creativity and communication. It is also associated with peace, patience, and unconditional love ... hmmm quite appropriate for this creation!

Thanks, Yolanda! I wish I had bought more of the ladybird and frog charms as they truly are excellent pieces I haven't been able to find here.

My friend actually suggested having a heart charm with the froggie one to show the "happily ever after" part :-))
