Swarovski Crystal Jewelry




After three years of wearing my Swarovski crystal jewelry non-stop, I began to notice a slightly milky appearance to the crystals. After much research, I ordered the above kit directly from Swarovski.

All things considered, my Swarovski jewelry has held up very well. I wear it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I sleep in it, swim in it, garden in it,etc.

Using PowerCord or FireLine, I have never had a piece to break. I'm finding more and more that people prefer the streatchiness of PowerCord so that bracelets are easy to put on and remove.

Somewhere along the way, I acquired some 3mm cubic zirconia bicones. Much too small for PowerCord. I strung the beads with curly letters and knotted it. The letters hang in everything and the cord stretches to many times its size, but has yet to break. Got to find out what that stuff is!

Wedding Jewelry


My niece is getting married tomorrow
and I thought you all might like to see the jewelry I will be wearing.
I, of course, made all of the pieces myself.
What fun to have people compliment the pieces that I have made,
all the while thinking that they were purchased
at an expensive boutique!

Pearly Bubbles


I created this lovely necklace while visiting Anna Maria Island
- one of our favorite vacation spots.
The disks are mother of pearl.
The pearls are glass Swarovski pearls.
The length of the pearl strand is 18 1/4"
from sterling toggle to sterling ring.
The pearl dangles add 2 3/4" to the necklace.
This necklace is perfect for a moonlit stroll on the beach!

Les Petite Papillons

Les Petit Papillons
is my favorite bracelet of all time.
It is constructed of Swarovski crystal and sterling silver.
I have worn it daily since the day I made it -
I even wear it swimming and in the shower.
It never comes off.
I've been playing catch up lately and finally have a bracelet left over to put in my
Etsy shop.
