Inspired Winter Snowflakes Earrings Jewelry

Yesterday I woke up to find the ground outside covered in a light layer of fluffy white stuff....SNOW!!

I know some of you are grumbling at the thought. But, personally, I love winter. I get excited to see the first snowfall and look forward to the upcoming holidays. It's also a time when I am inspired to get back into the studio and release all the creative thoughts I've held onto since summer began.

So, in the excitement of the coming winter, I'm sharing some new beaded jewelry, as well as, some restocks of previously sold out pieces. Who doesn't love snowflakes? Right?! Did you know: there are no two snowflakes alike? Well, the same holds true for our sparkling Snowflake Blizzard Crystal Earrings! Each "blizzard" of hammered, sterling silver wire is unique due to its' hand formed nature. A true one of a kind design!

Snowflake Blizzard Sterling Silver Handmade Earrings (E160)

Baby it's cold outside! One glimpse out the window and it's a blizzard of iridescent crystal aurora borealis snowflake-cut 14mm glass beads on hand formed and hammered "blizzard" sterling silver wire.  These handmade earrings are finished with sterling silver leverback ear wires. The length is 1-1/2" from the bottom of the ear wire.

Here's a second glance at these unique, hand-formed wire earrings:

Breast Cancer Survivor Heart Bracelet (B173-BC)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Crystal Allure Jewelry is known worldwide for beautiful crystal awareness bracelets and jewelry designs. Creating beaded jewelry just wouldn't be the same if we didn't do what we could to raise awareness and show support for important causes.

When you look at the statistics, it's almost impossible to not believe that nearly every woman has been touched in some way, by breast cancer. In medical review data, provided by the American Cancer Society in October 2013, it states "Breast cancer death rates have been going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and better treatment."

More importantly, this data also revealed "Right now there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States."

Every survivor deserves to be celebrated and we do just that with our sparkling breast cancer awareness bracelets and jewelry. Just check out the latest design (pictured above) -stunning, right?! It's our Breast Cancer Awareness Survivor Heart Bracelet (B173-BC), inspired by our popular Transplant Awareness Survivor Heart Bracelet (B173-TX).

Designed in breast cancer pink Swarovski Crystals, .925 Bali spacers, white pearlized seed beads and sterling silver heart beads that read "SURVIVOR". This 7-3/4" crystal breast cancer awareness bracelet is finished with our signature jewelry tag.
