a giveaway!

the month of june has given me inspiration

not because of the nice warm summer weather we experience in june

(because right now b.c. is so lacking in that department!)

but instead inspiration from the sweet little birds 

that i hear chirping every morning outside my kitchen window

welcome "caged beauty"

a sweet vintage image of a bird

encased in cathedral glass

all soldered up to resemble a birdcage

this necklace is available in three options

robins egg blue pearls...

bronze pearls...

or cream pearls...

look at the details of the chains...

there are some brass birds in flight as well...

and dangling from the bottom of the cage

are these sweet little nests with pearl eggs...

the necklace full length...
