***Updated December 23rd! New artist added to the auction!***
Several artists in the blog community have decided to come together to help a fellow artist in need. A medical emergency has prompted this need, and I feel blessed that I am able to help. I am offering this necklace and matching earrings.

Several artists in the blog community have decided to come together to help a fellow artist in need. A medical emergency has prompted this need, and I feel blessed that I am able to help. I am offering this necklace and matching earrings.
The necklace was inspired by beautiful turquoise and cream lamp work beads by Cheryl Harris (http://www.etsy.com/people/cherylsart). I wire wrapped the beads with vintage wire, and added some beautiful amazonite gemstones, which perfectly match the lamp work beads.
The necklace closes with a hand forged clasp made of the same vintage wire.
The focal is made from a deep turquoise blue, round porcelain bead, which has been wrapped inside a vintaj filigree. The "top" and "bottom" of the focal include pretty enameled flower charms from Sue Kennedy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/suebeads), and a stunning lamp work head pin from Anne Gardanne (http://www.etsy.com/shop/GardanneBeads).
The necklace measures 18 1/2" and the earrings measure approximately 1 1/2" from the top of the copper ear wire to the bottom of the earring.
The auction will run from Thursday, December 22nd through Wednesday, December 28th at midnight.
