July Jewelry for Charity Set ~ Swirling Ocean Surf

Good morning!!
For those of you who love the ocean and ocean-themed jewelry, I've got something special for you today. My July Jewelry for Charity Set...

This one will have you daydreaming about the ocean with every glance. I named it Swirling Ocean Surf because that's exactly what these beautiful lampwork glass beads remind me of.

In an attempt to create the effect of ocean waves twinkling in brilliant sun, I used Swarovski Crystal bicone beads in Aquamarine AB2x and Montana AB2x and it worked beautifully. The photo doesn't begin to capture the effect.

I continued the swirling theme with these gorgeous Bali silver beads, twisted rings and elegantly scrolled and detailed toggle clasp. The sterling and Bali silver leverback-style earrings match the bracelet perfectly.

The donation from this month's piece is again going to the American Red Cross to help those still suffering the effects of Hurricane Katrina and those affected by the horrible outbreak of tornadoes and floods this year.

Hope you're enjoying your summer! Have a wonderful weekend!

Isn't it great? The colors are wonderful. I love the ocean and the photos she included in the collection are beautiful... I can hear those ocean waves. Very soothing collection I must say.

The bracelet she included is actually one of my Jewelry for Charity Bracelets. I made that one to raise money for a man in my community who was stabbed in the back for no reason by a 16 year old boy. This man who was the picture of health is now a paraplegic, confined to a wheelchair in excrutiating pain. The bracelet is still available for sale. You can find out more about it on my website:  http://www.designs-by-debi.com/jewelry-for-charity-piece-aug-2010.html.

Well, I'm off to watch a rerun of Hawaii Five-0 .....anybody watch it? I love, love, love it!! I look forward to it every Monday. The whole cast is great but seriously.... Alex O'Loughlin and Hawaii... could there be a better combination?!?! OMG!

Need I say more??
