Swarovski licensing! Tumbling blocks

Most of you have heard of the Swarovski company. They make lovely faceted crystal animals and decorations, and many fine gift stores carry their $$$ products, displaying them within glass curio cabinets. The crystal is made in Austria, and many feel that Swarovski sets the standard for crystal. It is reputeddly the best crystal that can be used in jewelry making.

Many jewelry makers will list Swarovski as a component in their pieces, however in order to legally do so, the jewelry artist must submit an application to Swarovski. The written application must be accompanied by several pieces that the jewelry artist submits, and the Vice President of the company either approves you or does not. Their standards are strict, as they do not want inferior jewelry with poor workmanship to carry their name. I'm pleased to share with you that I applied for official licensure from the Swarovski company and was approved by them! I am now (officially) able to say that my pieces contain Swarovski crystal!

This piece was one of my submissions for licensure. It is an original design that I'm calling, "Tumbling blocks". It is made from glass seed beads, and adorned with Royal Blue Swarovski crystals. The tumbling blocks are Swarovski crystals, and actually look like large diamonds! Yes, this piece sparkles and shines! It is made to fit snugly around the wrist, and would look great peeking out from the cuff of a blouse or sweater.

The clasp is sterling silver. The coordinating earrings containg glass and sterling silver beads. I can make this in other colors, as well, in order to coordinate with any outfit you have! I'll include a gift-box with your purchase, as well as a beautiful organza drawstring bag, so this item will be all ready for gift giving--for yourself, or for a loved one!
