Many of my favorite materials combine to make this stylish necklace and earrings set.

The focal point of the necklace is one of my own lampwork mini-vessels, created with transparent cobalt blue glass, fine silver foil, and reactive frit.

I wrapped the neck of the mini-vessel with Argentium sterling silver wire, and attached it to an Argentium sterling silver chain.

To complete the necklace, I added a lovely sterling silver clasp and sterling silver bead dangles featuring freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals.

Argentium is a new alloy of sterling silver which does not tarnish as quickly as does traditional sterling silver.

I created the coordinating earrings using sterling silver, freshwater pearls, and Swarovski crystals.

A few different shots of the necklace are shown, in order to represent it as accurately as possible. Please keep in mind that computer monitors differ in resolution and clarity.

Each piece is thoroughly cleaned and inspected before I sell it or use it in my jewelry designs. I guarantee my work and am happy to combine multiple purchases to save you shipping fees. I want you to be completely thrilled with your purchases. If you're not, please let me know right away so I can make it right.

I first began creating my lampwork mini-vessels for an artcharm swap a couple of years ago. I really enjoy playing with the form and decoration of the mini-vessels.

This particular mini-vessel is one of my favorites, as it features silver and blue. The bead dangles swinging from the bottom of the necklace chain might be droplets of some precious liquid held within the mini-vessel.
