Elegant Jewelery from Nancy Wallis Designs
- Autumne Olive Glass Pendant with Gunmetal Chain: Some say Paris in springtime but I’ll take Paris anytime of the year! The pendant is made with a large (17x11mm) Czech firepolished faceted glass bead in olivine green with a coppery coloured lustre.
- December Bride, Pearl Earrings: Soft elegance, vintage feel. Beautiful, plump, rice shaped freshwater pearls in a gorgeous winter white (12mm) dangle from an oval clear glass bead and a swarovski crystal. A sweet brass leaf beadcap gives it a lovely vintage feel.
- Winter White Chrysanthemum Necklace: The simplicity of a winter white bead with copper. I fell in love with this pretty flower bead. I wanted it to be the focal of this necklace so I paired it with only copper components. The off white resin bead is 20mm with detailed floral ‘carving’ on both sides.
- Glam Allure Rosaline, Vintage Jewel Earrings: A glamourous, romantic look with a hint of allure. Gorgeous sparkle. Divine colour. These beautiful Czech vintage jewels date from the 1950′s. The pear shaped glass jewels are a beautiful rosaline. These light peachy pink jewels are faceted on the top and have gold foiled backs. (13 x 8mm). Stunning.
