And the winner is…!!!

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Before I announce the big winner of the GIVEAWAY, I wanted to send  a HUGE THANK YOU to all who entered.  I was excited to do the Giveaway because I love custom work and I’ve been needing a big nudge to get going with these frighteningly beautiful opals. This is the perfect opportunity to get a kick-in-the-pants jumpstart on some of the most beautiful stones I have ever touched.

THAT is what I was expecting out of this giveaway adventure–a kick.  What I was not expecting was to feel so overwhelmingly appreciated by all of you.  Your kind words about my work and betsy & iya mean more than I could ever possibly express to you.  So…thank you for being the most lovely customers in the whole wide world.  Yep, the world.

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.

—>> Mention the Giveaway and @betsyandiya on Twitter.

<<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*
