I realized today I hadn't posted pictures of the second Wild Heart necklace and earrings I made about a year ago. Part of that is because of how hard it is to photograph this particular Swarovski color. It's called "luminous green" and at the time I purchased the hearts it was a new color. I liked the color on the site, so wanted to make myself a set using them. They almost seemed like "crystal AB" when I got them, in that they change color depending on what you wear, but instead of a wide range, they change from kind of a peach to a pale green to clear.
Name: Luminous
Price: $25 (reason: Swarovski crystal; personal collection) *necklace only*
Length: adjustable; knotted on 36 inch cord
I'm generally not that big on Swarovskis. They're expensive to make a relatively substantial piece, they don't have all the colors all the time, and often they don't have the color I like in a shape I like. Sometimes, however, I find a particular color I like, and a particular shape that sparks creativity.
In this case, I ran across the relatively new shape called Wild Heart (came out last year), in a relatively new color for that shape: Medium Vitrail. I've always liked that color, and though I'm not particularly fond of hearts, this one just struck me as perfect for a necklace. It looked like stained glass. I also bought a pair of small, standard heart pendants in the same color to make a pair of earrings to complete the set. I wanted to keep it simple, so just used waxed cotton cord and tied sliding knots so it's adjustable.
