First Crush - SOLD

Bling-mix: Pink Opal heart & accents of moonstone
Bling "hardware": All gold bits are 14K gold-filled
Dimensions: Pendant is about 4.5cm ; necklace is 16 inches

Don't laugh -- my first crush was Donny Osmond. Hahahaha! I so ADORED him when I was little and really thought that when I grew up, I would marry him (what does a kid know?!)

I have vivid recollections of watching the Donny & Marie show and thinking that purple was the best colour EVER. Ah, those sweet first crushes -- so innocent and so removed from reality!

So, Donny, this necklace was actually created in your honour :D It reflects the sweet nature of those childhood crushes.

A light salmon-pink pink opal heart is the centrepiece, whilst tiny, dainty moonstone beads dress it up in a cascade of innocence :))

The moonstone accents carry on in the necklace portion of the pice too.

Pendant measures a little over 4.5 cm long and necklace is 16 inches. All gold bits are 14K gold-filled, including wirework, beads, pendant holder, chain and lobster clasp (not shown).

A silver version is also available, but I'm still working on it.

PS. I realise that by mentioning Donny Osmond, I am showing my age ... hahahhahaha! He was amongst the most hip people to have a crush on back in the day :))))

Thump! Thump! - SOLD

Bling-mix: Pink Opal hearts; rhodolite garnet rondells
Bling "hardware": All gold bits are 14K gold-filled
Dimensions: Longer heart is 6 cm; shorter heart is 4cm long

One of the most amazing things about finding out you're having a baby is getting to see the heartbeat for the first time.

I count it as one of my personal best moments EVER. At that first ultrasound, even though all you see is a little blob on the screen, what's soooo clear is that flickering little heartbeat, announcing to the world that a new life has begun.

And every day I feel this little rascal kick (and boy can this one KICK), I am thankful all over again for the miracle which is life.

Just think .... we all started out as little miracles :))

So now you know the inspiration behind this piece.

This pair of ear-rings features two milky pink opal hearts with little accents of faceted pink garnet.

They're deliberately asymmetrical, with one side dangling longer than the other. If you prefer, I can make them both long or both short, but I thought the asymmetry added a little more interest.

All gold bits are 14K gold-filled, including ear hooks, wirework and beads.
