Love Necklace -Redux





Look familiar? ;)

A couple of weeks ago I was elated to get an Etsy convo asking me to reserve this necklace.  I was so excited I didn't really notice that I wasn't given a time frame on payment.

After about a week without payment, or hearing anything...I contacted the potential customer.  And after a few days of not hearing back I made the decision to remove the reserve.

This is my first experience with something like this, and I guess you can say I learned a lesson.  Not so much about losing the sale, but about losing a potential client because now that person will probably never come back.....

Anyway....This morning we are "snowed in" again.  Schools are closed and right now I am in my studio listening to the bitter winds blowing furiously.  My crazy kids and husband left the house all bundled up to go "play outside", but I won't be surprised to find out that they are in the McDonald's playland sucking down McNuggets while the girls play.  

But I digress...

I decided to re-take the pictures.  I never really was happy with the first set I took.  Coincidentally, the day before I was contacted to reserve it, I had decide that my bezel needed some more finishing.  So I had the bezel looking all smooth and sweet and had planned to take new pics anyway.

So, here I am two weeks later with the new pics.  I'm off to change the pics out in the Etsy listing.  And yes, she is eligible for the 20% sale in my shop with coupon code Love2011.  Today is the last day!!!!

Signing off from abnormally and bitterly cold North East Texas....hoping you all stay warm!

THAW2011-3

 Rhodonite from Nevada looking like a wood grain pattern.  The colors look like pink mixed with dark brown at first glance.  But when you look closely, it is in fact a deep dark purple.
 This particular stone was cut by Terry of LostSierra on Etsy.
 It has been in my collection for some time.  But when I went on my pink kick, I pulled it out.
 Doing a little research on the stone, I discovered that Rhodonite is associated with the emotion of Love.
 Well, no wonder I was drawn to it right now!  Now, when I am on a pink love kick.  (Thank you Valentines Day!
A lacy detailed edge and a scalloped bezel, heart cutouts on the back.  Pink opal, rhodocrosite, and pink tourmaline beads.  100% crafted by my own hands here in my home studio.
