No Sale :(

Katrina sterling silver necklace of rose quartz, smoky quartz, cultured pearl & swarovski crystalMy Jewelry for Katrina piece did not sell, so I'll be auctioning it off elsewhere. As I said, I'm open to suggestions, and I supposed I'd better take a picture, now that I have time, that more adequately shows the necklace, since the one I took makes it look like a sterling silver chain with just the 2 sections of rose quartz, a single pearl, and one piece of smokey quartz. Alas.

If anyone would like to buy it outright before I hunt up a place to auction, you can grab it for $60 on Dragonfly. Just click the image to go there. I'm bummed it didn't sell, but not surprised, since most necklaces went for around $35. I hoped people would be willing to pay more because it's for charity, but I guess not. It's worth more than $60, so I'm not selling it for less. If I were selling it for myself, I'd list it at $75, because it really is a beautiful piece and took a darned long time to make. I could sell it in a Sherman Oaks boutique for easily twice that, but at any rate, there it is.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

oh, well, thank you. i think the photo makes it look like less than it is. i'm just so bogged down right now with the documentary i'm working on, i don't have time to really spend 2-3 hours posing the thing and then editing the noise out of a photo. (i so very much hate taking necklace photos) it really is pretty in person, too. i think it's one of the prettiest things i've ever made, and i labored over that damn smokey quartz. it's disappointing it didn't sell, but she warned me it probably wouldn't, it went up so late. oh well. thanks for the compliment. :)
