How sweetly this piece sings of festive summer nights, great tans and white shirts and strapless dresses. Just the right length (a nice circlet to sit round the neck, not too tight, not too long), this is a special piece created from faceted Swarovski crystal roundels and a sterling-silver-clad piece of carved dyed blue quartz the exact same color. I had kept the pendant for a long time never knowing whether to tone it down on pearls or wait for just the right thing. Then I was noodling on eBay one day and saw a fabulous strand of Swarovski roundels, a string of which made quite an impression on me. Hopefully, it'll make an impression on whoever sees it, finished and gleaming. . . some romantic summer night.
