Statement Necklaces for Women Gold Necklaces Bib Necklace Handmade Chunky Necklace Statement Jewelry Necklace Long Necklace Boho
Statement necklaces for women like this gold necklace are truly unique! I have created the chunky necklace jewelry with gorgeous, vintage and modern jewelry pieces. Each link in the bib necklace is a unique and lovely work of art. If you are looking for an extravagant handmade chunky necklace, you need look no further than long necklace. The 24 inch adjustable necklace ends with pretty, hand-linked, white glass pearls. It closes securely with a gold overlay lobster claw clasp.

The necklace is sturdy but should be handled with care. Avoid exposing it to perfume and other body lotions. Treat it with the respect a beautiful piece deserves! ~BlondePeachJewelry

Speckled Yellow Blue Tan Spring Lampwork Bracelet and .925 Earrings

astel shades of yummy daffodil yellow, blue, white and tan in this lampwork bracelet bring blossoming spring flowers to mind. To create this cheerful bracelet I selected two types of lampwork beads. Across the top of the bracelet are coin shaped lampwork with a white background and speckles with soft pink, sky blue and tan dots of color. In between the coin lampwork I used genuine Preciosa crystal bicones in a beautiful shade call indicolite. This lovely blue crystal will bring out the blue speckles in the lampwork coins. Going down each side of the bracelet are white and yellow lampwork roundel shaped beads. The background is white and the soft daffodil yellow drips with color around the beads. In between I selected vivid Czech yellow opal fire polished crystals to enhance the yellow in the lampwork. The bracelet is finished off with flower shaped pewter bead caps, ViaMurano twisted tornado crimps in a moonlight shade and sterling silver wire guards to protect the Soft Flex yellow beading wire. This will add longevity and prevent breakage of the wire with long use. For the closure I used a sweet, tiny Anna toggle by TierraCast. Via Murano, Soft Flex and TierraCast are companies based in the United States and have the highest quality jewelry findings. ~KatsAllThat

These elegant gold earrings are a rich combination of bright golden pearls, lovely crystal bicones, and shiny 14/20 gold-filled components. The pearls, which have crystal cores, are from Swarovski (made in Austria, 8mm, 6mm, 4mm). Also from Swarovski are the bicone crystals (5mm), whose official color is "Metallic Sunshine"; they have an AB (Aurora Borealis) finish to them.

All of the 14/20 gold-filled components were made in the USA and include round beads (2mm), petalled bead caps, jewelry wire, and French-style earring hooks. The hooks have a hallmark on their rear wire, and I decorated them with a small (4mm) gold pearl to add an extra touch of elegance.
