The focal of this necklace is a lady image with the word Princess encased in vintage glass.
These vintage beads are new stock vintage (never used) and are available at Artbeads as is this brown silk ribbon.  This is my inspiration for the series I did.
My stash of items from my studio that I pulled together to go with the Artbeads items I was sent to design with.
Shows the focal with the chain, which is varying lengths of gold chain.
The necklace draped on the column, helps you see the way the 5 layers of gold chain lay in this design.  
These earrings actually work with all 3 of the necklaces I designed in this series.

This redesigned necklace and earrings are part of a series I did with inspiration coming from 10 vintage beads and some chocolate brown silk ribbon.

Unfortunately, my photos do not capture the pieces of jewelry like in person as Lani stated, and the many customers I have sent to from other states, comment that they far exceed photos they've seen that inspired them to purchase an item. This is a good problem to have. Making customers happier than they expected.
Junking has been what has inspired my newest surge of creativity and I have lots of fun things that will be show cased in September at a Junkers extravaganza.

You KNOW I love this!!!! It is absolutely stunning!!! I found some crystals just like these one year and decoupaged Christmas pictures on them and used them as ornaments, but your necklace is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Just gorgeous...you are an amazing jewelry designer.
