  This necklace just needs a pretty dress (source) I am hosting a rare and beautiful giveaway from Sheyna! The value of this necklace is $189.00 and all you have to do is post a comment. If you do not have a google account, please post your email address so that I can reach you if you win. Iolite and moonstone briolettes create a stunning statement necklace. What’s unique is that the stones are linked to each other; there is no chain, so all you see is the light shining off these magnificent gemstones. Sheyna customers can shop from among the 5,000 existing items made from more than 500 designers. In minutes, you can design your own necklaces, bracelets and earrings. With a wide assortment of beautiful bases, stones, beads and charms, more than 115 million aesthetic combinations are possible — there is something to suit every taste and budget. Every item is handmade by skilled artisans around the world and shipped for free. All prices on Sheyna are calculated as you create them so you can get the look that suits you at an affordable price. Good luck! I’ll post the winner on Friday! If you would like your home to fill you with happiness every time you walk in, contact me.

    Moonstone is one of my favorites, being a Cancer. At least, I think I'm a Cancer, somewhere I read that the astrological signs have changed but you can't change who you are inside. Something pretty always makes a day a bit brighter, whether it's jewelry or paint color or flowers. Love your blog.

    Hi Maria:

    Loooove the necklace. And the funny thing is, I don't usually where gold (only white gold or silver) but I am really drawn to the gold and greyish combination in this necklace. Really pretty!

    Thanks
    Robbin

  84. Liz says:

    My great-grandmother's engagement ring was 3 small moonstones, precious. I am about to paint my new-to-me condo a light lavendar throughout. Would love this necklace! Funny when I faced evacuation due to Hurricane Isabel when I was living in Alexandria, I escaped with my most precious things and was surprised that I took all my jewelry. Learned alot about myself.

    Your blog is always so informative, but today it is really a treat. I have always loved iolite for years! There is something so mysterious about the stone being so purple/blue yet so transparent.

    Hi Maria, Sorry I've been away this last week or so. :o) I've seen your headlines but it's been pretty busy. And for some reason I've been kind of on a slump which has never happened to me before. I don't know what it is. But anyway, here I am!! How pretty! The jewelry is so pretty. I love stones of any kind, especially when they catch the light. Jewelry that is made by someone would be even more special. I'll have to go drop by and see her website.

    Thanks for sharing this with us.

    PS. And thanks so much for visiting Maria. It's always so cheering when you say Hello. Anita dropped by too and I'm so so glad she liked my post on Love. I'm off to catch up. :O)
