Giveaway 9 (winner drawn 13 April at 11am GMT) and Giveaway 8 winner

Jewellery again this week...



... a freshwater grey pearl necklace, with a beautifully detailed clasp. This was a gift, and I've only ever worn it once. It's about 18" long, and I think the clasp is pewter, but it may well oxidized silver, I don't know...



The top of the clasp is a beautiful flower - I think it looks like a camellia :)

And underneath...



.. is an S clasp, which is just too complicated to do one-handed. Hence I'm giving this beautiful piece away. It deserves to be worn, not closed up in my jewellery box.

I adore the grey pearls, which shimmer different colours as the light catches them, but they are very hard to photograph.

So, if you would like this to appear on your neck, leave a comment, and I'll draw the winner next Sunday 13 April at 11am (BST).
GOOD LUCK!!!

  2. What a lovely give away and I know whoever wins will enjoy wearing it. Maybe I'll just be that happy recipient. Time will tell. I have just gotten into using fresh water pearls for my embroidery pieces and love them.

    Have a good week ~ FlowerLady

  4. Oh I like pearls and yes, they are hard to photograph. Many other things as well - it is always a godsend to represent something with the camera, I mean, it creates its own picture often -
    (I did not want to win the book because it is too difficult for me to read)
    Have a blessed sunday :-)
