My first giveaway! Jewelry by Linda Lee

My wonderful friend, Linda Lee, is a jewelry-making genius. Last year, she went to Italy to learn more about glass-blowing and her skills have just taken off since then. I recently bought a necklace from her, to wear to a wedding this weekend, in fact, and I was blown away by how incredibly beautiful the necklace is and how lovely it is when it hangs on my neck.

When I received the box in the mail, it was gift-wrapped and gorgeous and I couldn’t wait to open it. It was then that it occurred to me that Linda Lee is an unknown treasure and I’d been keeping her to myself, quite selfishly, in fact. Recently, she’d had a sale and I realized that I was being a bad friend to all of you in not sharing her amazing work. What? I’m not always nice. And I like having first dibs.

So, to make it up to you, I’m offering a giveaway! It’s the first one on this website and Linda Lee forgave me for being so selfish and so should you. She’s generously donated a BEAUTIFUL necklace and earring set valued at $65! She custom makes all of her jewelry so there is not a single set just like this anywhere else. Ladies, this matches everything. Men, your woman will love this. Let me give you a little background information on it.

This necklace features four oversized pearls, tiny Swarovski crystals, sterling silver wire, and sterling silver chain. Linda Lee used a classic chainmail technique with twisted sterling silver rings. This necklace is 18 1/2 inches long and can be worn much shorter because of the type of chain used.

If the winner needs the necklace longer, Linda Lee can add an extender to it.

The earrings are slightly longer than 1 1/2 inches measured from the top of the ear wire.

Here’s the best news of all. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU gets 15% off at Linda Lee’s Etsy store if you find something there that you must have! Just mention this blog when you purchase at her store between now and June 21, 2009 to receive a 15% discount!
