ENTER TO WIN A CUSTOM PERUVIAN OPAL NECKLACE!!

(scroll past the picture to find out how.)

I am not a stone gal, but I have always been blown away by the Peruvian Opal.  I have never seen a stone look as vibrant or pure.  Several months ago, I picked out a large batch from a couple who finds them, mines them, and turns them into little pieces of art. I am on the cusp of transforming each one into a one-of-a-kind design.  To kick it off, we’re doing a GIVEAWAY. The winner gets to pick their favorite opal and I will design a special necklace just for them.  Yay!!

There are several ways TO ENTER:

—> Comment on this post letting us know your favorite betsy & iya piece.

Here is an example of a one-of-a-kind necklace available now:

<<Legend says that Peruvian opals take the tension out of communication and help ideas flow freely. They soften the impact of stress from the outside world and can help one to release the trauma of old wounds. They facilitates facing the future with a tranquil healing nature. This stone is reported to be good for quieting the mind and as an aid to sleep.>>  *info found on bernardine.com/gemstones*

Native Plate necklace. (click pic to shop this hot style).

It’s always a major honor when someone asks to use my designs for a photo shoot.  Lately, there have been some heavy hitters… Portland Monthly Magazine’s insanely awesome Fall fashion spread, upcoming spreads for Oregon Bride magazine, and ShedRain’s newest shoot with the amazing Scott James (who we also worked with this month on our OWN shoot…cannot WAIT to share our photos with you).  It’s the second time we’ve been asked to work with ShedRain and the second time our expectations have been far outrun by awesomeness.  Here’s a peek into the hotNESS.
