Dodecanese Flower Pendant

I was so happy yesterday! I sold my favorite flower pendant to one of my friends. He purchased it for his girlfriend and I hope she will be happy with it. It was an offline purchase but still a purchase. I need to pick up some more montana blue brios to make some more as they are my favorite. The blue color with the gold just made it gorgeous. Hope everyone is doing well. I need to get ready for september. Both my kids were born in september and two days apart LOL. Besides that I was hoping to feature some blue items especially for the month of September.

Tips for buying chains

Most often when selecting any piece of jewelry, you figure you know your size for rings, bracelets and such. Chains and pendants however are different. The size of the chain and or pendant affects your look, and overall style. I am no expert nor have a certain style LOL but I have however been reading up quite a bit.

Chokers   14-16 inches
These are best worn with open collars and boatneck tops.
This size chain wraps closely to the neck

Princess    16-18 inches
This size is best worn with a button down blouse with two buttons open.
Great for the office
This size stays close to the neck. If a pendant is attached it will hang above the breast bone depending on the size of the pendant.

17-20 inches
Meets at the top of the breast bone

Matinee    20-24 inches
Wear this size under a collar shirt or turtleneck
 Wear big bold layered or  a multistrand necklace
This size meets at the top of the bust line

Opera     30-36 inches
This size is more for formal, semi formal dresses
Best benefit of this size is that it can be doubled.

Learning about this has helped me a lot and hopefully will do the same for you! Leave me some comments and let me know what you think.

Smell the pretty flowers!

I've had this passion for making briolette flowers because they are just gorgeous! I've been working on combinations of colors and sizes. So far my favorite is the blue one (Dodecanese) and Amethyst. I just love purple and I mean purple anything! My obsession goes so far, that my walls are purple. Light purple walls I'm not that crazy? So please show some love and check out my creations.

I love flowers so naturally I couldn't resist making a pendant out of one! This one is beautiful with six amethyst briolettes wire wrapped with silver wire. In the middle are five wire wrapped purple (ab) swarovski beads. I used some goldtone wire for a different look. On top of that is a swarovski crystal clear faceted bead. The wire used to make the bail is silver artistic wire. The chain is measures about 24 inches in length. The pendant is about 2 inches in lenth.
