Giveaway: Winter Garden Cuff by MiddleEarths Jewels

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to the randomly chosen 78th commenter, Ľubaša!

Winter Garden CuffOne lady will get to adorn herself with a one of a kind jewelry piece fit for an ice queen from a snowy wonderland. MaryAnne of MiddleEarths Jewels is giving away the wonderful Winter Garden cuff above. She hand wove, then hand felted bits of vintage lace and fabulous designer wool yarns. Chinese matte jade balls in honey and amber with vintage caps are strung with golden silk cord around the bottom, earthy green stone chips are sewn around the top. Buried deep in the soft wool are tiny swarovski crystals in topaz and peridot green that sparkle discreetly. Vintage glass leaves in chestnut and soft greens dangle and clink under the dusty green leather lace that finishes the outer edge. The soft mohair fur goatskin trim adds the final bit of magic luxury.

I am honored that she dreamed this wrist cuff into existence specifically to be a giveaway prize on my humble blog. She even shared her creative process on how it was magically crafted. MaryAnne is such an amazing jewelry artist! Nothing I could write would describe her fantasy accessories purely enough - the creations must be seen for themselves.

  63. I was the 17th person to "lick" the Rosewood pendant; yum! And PS to previous comment, I accidentally unhearted then rehearted her shop (I gets confused sometimes when the new heart button appears at the top of a page and it's red, and whether that means I already loved on the shop or it's asking me if I want to love the shop--I get denser every day!)...
