Precious is defined in the dictionary as "something or someone who is highly esteemed, valuable, cherished, dear, or beloved". When I look at this sweet little necklace, all I can think of is "Precious One". The large faceted glass disco ball mounted in a silver lacy headpin, surrounded by a crown of czech glass pearls and swarovski crystals and s sterling silver chain lined with czech glass pearls with a tiny sterling heart charm at the end truly make this wonderful necklace earn its name! The piece is tied together with a 16 inch vintage sterling silver chain with a two inch extender and I added a sparkling swarovski bicone on the end of the extender for added sparkle.
This necklace is dedicated to all the people in my life that can be called "precious one"...do you have someone in your life like that? If so, you owe it to them and yourself to give this necklace it's true forever home!
This is the second in my Love at Midnight Series that features beautiful czech glass faceted rounds that change color depending on what outfit you wear! The focal point centers around a large AB rainbow Chinese crystal glass rondelle surrounded by a vintage style bead cap and an intricate array of vintage style findings, beads, and lucite flowers. The beautiful 24 inch figaro chain is lined with czech glass rounds and the entire piece is tied together with an antiqued bronze toggle clasp.
There is something dark, romantic, and a little mysterious about this necklace! There is a richness to the design itself and like the first necklace in the series speaks of intrigue, of something worth taking a risk...of Love at Midnight when all the world is quiet.
Love at Midnight II can be purchased in my Etsy shop!

These cobalt blue and amber sea glass drops were wrapped in sterling silver wire and placed side by side on a 16 inch vintage sterling silver twisted rope chain. They remind me of a modern day version of Yin and Yang...simple, beautiful, and totally in balance. It is said that Yin and Yang are two polar but complimentary energies bound together as parts of a mutual whole and that by their fluctuations and interaction are the cause of the universe. Lofty inspiration for my little necklace, but you can definitely feel the special energy when you wear this around your neck. Giving Yin and Yang as a gift? It will arrive at your door beautifully packaged and ready for giving. And as always, there is FREE SHIPPING at Zur Designs! Discover the energy of Yin and Yang!
Some wonderful nature inspired designs by team members of Etsy Promo Love, Handmade Harbor, Indie Junction, Lunaessence's Arts and Crafts World Expo, and On Fire For Handmade!
Both were beautifully packaged and made me feel like one of the celebrities at the award shows that receive these wonderful products from The Artisan Group!! Stay tuned...I have four more prizes to look forward to!
I love making handcrafted jewelry! I began with beading and moved on to wire sculpting, working with chain and I am now in the process of learning metal fabrication.
One of my favorite elements is the bead itself! I love gemstones, swarovski crystals, and pearls of any shade. I could just sift through beads all day long and be totally happy.
