Simplicity - SOLD

Bling-mix: Turquoise teardrops
Bling "hardware": Decorative ear hooks are 925 silver
Dimensions: Total length is a little over 4cm

With the anniversary coming up really soon, I've been reminded of the frenzy of preparations for the celebrations.

Goodness, at that time, I was sooooo taken in with every itty-bitty detail and stressed myself out listening to everybody's aunt's cousin's third uncle's neighbour's comments ... and boy did everyone have an opinion ... hahahhaa!

If I could do it all over again, I'd keep it like this pair of ear-rings -- simple. Just beautiful turquoise drops hanging off fancy 925 silver ear-wires.

After all, the most important thing about a wedding is the commitment two people are making to each other, in the presence of those nearest and dearest.

Now, 10 years on, I wonder how many people really remember what our invitations looked like or whether the flowers were pink or white or what the fifth course was :)

What *I* remember most is the look on my sweetie's face when he saw me enter the church; the love that was reflected on the faces of relatives and friends; the thumping heart while vows were being exchanged .... the mutual respect & love that just grew and grew from that day on ....

If I could do it all over again, my motto would be: Keep it simple, don't sweat the small stuff :))

Land & Sea - SOLD!

Warm, earthy, shimmery tones of bronzite meets the calming blue of turquoise in this necklace.

The turquoise pendant has beautiful flecks of brown scattered through it. The speckles, plus the colour, earn such a stone the name "robin's egg" turquoise. Cute, eh?

Bronzite is supposed to help dispel restlessness whilst turquoise is said to be the stone of wholeness and eloquence.

Necklace measures 16 inches, with a 2-inch extension chain.

Fireworks - Blu (SOLD!)
