Beautiful Jewelry: An auction

Remember THIS post.
Well, unfortunately sweet Lori didn’t get a single bid on any of the three pieces of beautiful jewelry that she made to benefit Caylin’s Cure. Can you believe that? Sigh. I can’t and that’s why I am going to give it a-go on my blog with my sweet and faithful blog readers. Lori used some gorgeous beads and put a lot of her time and sweetness into these jewelry pieces and I hope you’ll check them out below and bid on any (or all) of them. I don’t want Lori’s sweet gesture to go unnoticed. Here are the photos of each piece again and a little bit of detail about each one.

This is called “For Caylin.”  The sterling silver necklace is 16″ long, and the painted plexiglass, crystal and anodized aluminum pendant is 1.75″ long.

“Ballerina” is named because it reminds Lori of those amazing, long tulle creations she always longed to wear.  The handmade glass is 20mm tall and she added a cluster of glass flowers beneath, along with a gorgeous sterling silver star.  The bail will take up to a 6mm chain and the pendant measures 2.25″ in length.    

Lastly, a chunky necklace made with a handmade hollow glass bead, nearly 1″ in size, in berry colors with subtle purple polka dots. She added two of her purple lampwork glass spacers, four vintage lucite teardrops in a glowing hot pink, and two luminous purple glass beads.  The beaded length is 7″, and the remainder is made up of matte dusty rose seed beads.

The necklace measures 16-18″ with the sterling silver chain extender and lobster claw clasp.




Aren’t those pieces beautiful and SO unique? Let’s start the bidding on each piece at $10. What a beautiful gift they would make for a friend or family member’s birthday, etc! OR just buy it for yourself! Give a beautiful gift to yourself AND help a great cause at the same time!! Now THAT is some feel-good jewelry! ;)
If you would like to bid on a piece – just leave me a comment in the comments below saying which piece and how much your bid is. If you would like to bid anonymously – just leave the information (which piece and bid) in the comments and then email me your name and bid so I know it’s legit. 
Lori also has THIS beautiful bracelet in her shop and when she sells it – 100% of the proceeds from the sale are going to Caylin’s Cure! How awesome is that? LOVE that bracelet, too! I think I need one! 

I would like to send a BIG thank you and BIG hugs to sweet, Lori. You can check out more of Lori’s beautiful jewelry at her shop HERE and she also has a blog HERE.

Thanks so much in advance.

This auction will stay open until Friday at 5 p.m. central time. Please email me if you have any questions!
