- Handmade Sterling Clasp -

This handmade jewelry set features a lovely beaded necklace with a silver heart pendant and matching blue and white dangle earrings. The heart pendant is a Karen Hill Tribe silver piece from Thailand, and was made in a traditional tribal way. It is rustically designed on a diamond-shaped base, with the heart shape puffed out from the base. The heart's center is decorated with a simple eight-petaled flower. Of course, the theme of the necklace is love.

In designing with this pendant, I decided to use high-quality white freshwater pearls. Their whiteness represents purity of love. I also wanted something blue, to suggest the sky and heights of love. After much searching, I found some lovely blue beads that were described as faux lapis lazuli. I also looked at my genuine lapis beads but preferred these because they have a nice uniformity and rich elegance.
 

I then added small pewter spacers and sterling silver rounds. The pewter spacers are decorated with a pattern that reflects the floral dots motif of the pendant. Also used in the necklace are sterling silver finishing components, high-quality beading wire, and 18-gauge sterling wire. All these elements were made in the USA.

The necklace's silver hook clasp and eternity loop connector was handmade by me with the sterling wire. They have been gently work-hardened by hand. The eternity loop style of connector reflects the theme of love. Including these components, the necklace length is 20.5 inches. The length of its matching earrings is 1.5 inches long.

This meaningful jewelry set was handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes in an eco-friendly box and is nicely wrapped for gift giving. It would make a beautiful present for a beloved woman, whether mother, daughter, aunt, grandmother, wife, or friend. Of course, it would also make a cheerful gift for yourself!
