Delicate love

Delicate Love - earrings & necklace set (sterling silver, Swarovski crystal) :: All Pretty ThingsI wanted to make something special for Valentine's Day and discovered I have no hearts in the house - as in bead hearts... all have been used in one project or another :) Since there were only a couple of days since my last bead therapy - I decided to stay put and just be happy.

That's like shaking a red flag in front of the bull, seriously (hey, I know, I am Taurus after all :)) She had the most beautiful little hearts I've ever seen and I spent the next 20 minutes trying to match some bicones to them (our store doesn't display the name of the crystal colour... which makes it a complete adventure to match elements!) Luckily for me I knew exactly what I wanted to make - so I knew exactly how many I wanted too.

That's when fate stopped looking after me - once I got home I discovered I don't have enough chain to make my project... go online, order the sterling silver elements, add some extra in the process, oh, look, butterflies, get some butterflies... A couple of days of waiting and...

    1. My mom tells us she loves the colour (she loves amethist and everything purple, well, truth be told, she likes every colour, except black - which is not a colour, after all :) ) and the whole set. Thanks, Mom, I knew you'll love them!
