I have been on a swarovski kick recently. This is a little haul I got from He Qi Crystal Designs.
The first two pieces, I bought when Lisa had BOGO sale, and the third piece I won from her monthly giveaway back in May. This picture is to show you the length and how the necklaces look all together. For a close-up on the pendants to see how pretty they are, keep reading
As you probably have known, swarovski crystals reflect light in different ways and show off different colours when doing that. Fascinating! I always want to have some jewelries with swarovski crystals but they always seem to be quite expensive. I found He Qi through blogs and finally made my first purchase.
Below are the necklaces with a modeal (i.e. me, lol), with a bit details on the crystals and chains. Excuse how I look, as pictures were taken at the end of a work day.
First piece: Custom Swarovski Pendant Necklace in Bermuda Blue, $27.
Description from Lisa’s site:
– 18mm (large) SWAROVSKI Crystal heart, 32 colours of choice
– rhodium plated rhinestone embellished heart bail
– 16-inch sterling silver figaro chain.
I’m actually glad I picked Bermuda Blue for the pendant, as it looks quite unique – I haven’t seen a colour like it. The chain is simple, as all attention would be on the crystal itself
Second piece: Golden Rosalie Swarovski Victorian Necklace (inspired by Rosalie from Twilight), $27 (org. $32)
– 18mm SWAROVSKI crystal heart in Crystal AB
– double-leaf bail in gold
– antique brass Victorian link, SWAROVSKI pearls and crystals (wire-wrapped, using antique brass wire, by hand), aprox. 18 inches in length.
The chain on this piece is so cute, I could have got away with wearing it by itself, without the pendant. But don’t get me wrong, crystal AB is such a versatile colour, as it’s clear but shines blue/ purple/ green depending on the angle you look at it. A complete awesome piece, if you ask me.
Third piece, the most magnificent of them all: HQCD Signature Super Nova Necklace in Montana Sapphire, $40. The pendant is a beautiful Swarovski crystal rivoli stone is framed in a circle of silver Japanese seed beads and matching SWAROVSKI bicones. The color of the focus is a darker sapphire blue. Meticulously and carefully double beaded to ensure the most durability. Pendant measures aprox. 2cm in diameter, and comes with a 18-inch sterling silver chain
I have no words to describe the pendant, as it is so gorgeous. The stone gives you such a deep dimension that just sucks you in there, and as I picked a darker shade, it’s even more mysterious. And then there are the small stones surrounding the main crystal, I feel like a royal member wearing this piece.
Here is the close-up on the 3 pendants. Did I do a good job describing it, or the picture could say it all?
I had the option to choose the colours for the crystals and am very happy with my choice. Like nail polish, I am going dark with necklace pendants too, lol. I think darker colours are easier to pair with clothing and/or other jewelry pieces that I might wear.
I like the fact that Lisa offers free (international) shipping, and often has sale/ promotion/ free makeup/ skin care samples. I might keep an eye out for future sales, as this might be addictive
And if you are wondering, this is not a sponsored post, as Lisa doesn’t even know that I have a blog or I am going to post it. Just thought it’d be fun to share.
