Saturday Giveaway - The Pretty Peacock

Congratulations to Diane!
She is the lucky winner of the set of earrings from the fabulous Etsy shop, Lily in the Garden. Thank you so much to Lily for participating in this giveaway and for such a lovely prize! You can visit Lily's shop by clicking on any of the pictures in her Etsy mini on my right sidebar. You can also view the shops of previous participants and preview upcoming shops that will be offering more fabulous giveaways!




This week we have a gorgeous Etsy shop called The Pretty Peacock. Ana specializes in heirloom quality Indian influenced jewelry. She creates custom pendants and bracelets using sterling silver and Swarovski crystals. She has been so generous to offer this beautiful eco friendly silver pendant and ball chain to my blog readers.

Here are some details from Ana's shop:

This is a beautifully unique, eco-friendly sterling silver teardrop pendant ( I try to purchase all my metals from companies who use Earth friendly means of refining).


I hand stamped the Sanskrit word "Abhaya", which means "Fearlessness". I oxidized the characters slightly so they would stand out against the shiny metal. I wire wrapped a gorgeous, 6mm bicone Swarovski crystal in garnet and used a sterling silver Bali spacer and headpin to set off the exotic theme of the necklace. The pendant set is hung from an 18" ball chain




How can this be yours you ask?

* Click HERE to visit Ana's shop, then return to this post to let us know your favorite item.

* Make sure you leave your email address so that I may contact you if you are the winner.

* Only one entry per person


The fine print... This giveaway will be held from Saturday, August 23rd - Friday, August 29th. The drawing will close at 10pm EST. The winner will be randomly picked and announced in next Saturday's Giveaway thread. This drawing is open to anyone, Ana is willing to ship worldwide.

Good Luck!

And please check out the rest of my blog - there is much to see!
