And I can't abide"

Ruby- or blood-red faceted glass spheres in my triple sphere design - versatile enough for a sweater and jeans or a little black dress!

The silver-plated surgical steel hook is beautifully shiny but "evil"-metal (no zinc, nickel, lead, white metal) free for those with sensitive ears. Sterling hooks are available for $2 more- convo me!

"I don't understand about
Diamonds and why men buy them
What's so impressive about a diamond
Except the mining

And it's dangerous work
Trying to get to you too
And I think if I didn't have to
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it
Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you"

Iridescent glass in many shapes cascades from a silver triangle. Silver-plated brass wire and findings except french hook which is sensitive-skin-friendly surgical steel (this makes it a bit darker than the rest of the metal- I can switch to silver-plated surgical steel if you prefer, or silver-plated lever-back style closure. No cost to change- just leave in notes to seller!)

I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor

Crystal-clear faceted glass cubes are the focal points of these dangly chain earrings, at the top and bottom of the silver-plated cable chain, which carries opal chips- with petite fire inclusions- and teal seed beads as well. The silver-plated french hook is over surgical steel, so these are great for sensitive ears or frequent wear.

"I look through the broken glass I watch the storm go through my mind
There's so much I had to say I know the words I left behind
And now I'm caught in a daydream with nowhere to run and hide
The world rushes by me, it's leaving me here all alone
(I would change everything, but I can't do anything
I would give all that I have to know where you are)"

Deep royal purple, (aka tolopea, according to the awesome color naming site at http://chir.ag/phernalia/name-that-color/ ) firepolished Czech glass sparkles and shimmers with silver glass seed beads on a dramatic teardrop chandelier finding (all metal is silver-plated brass). For those with a flair for the dramatic, these dust the shoulders at just about 3" long.

"Please don't say I love you,
those words touch me much too deeply
and they make my core tremble
Don't think you realize the effect you have over me
Please don't look at me like that
It just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't kiss me so sweet
it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow
And please don't touch me like that
makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow
And please don't come so close
it just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't bring me flowers
they only whisper the sweet things you'd say
Don't try to understand me
your hands already know too much anyway"

Several shapes of coordinating yellow glass cascade on linked chains for an extremely light feel with a heavy impact!

"You know I've been a good girl
But I hit a limit
I know there's not a lot of logic in it
But my life's been feeling to me

Like lemon
Sometimes it tastes so bitter
Like lemon
I've gotta make it sweeter

Stop right there before I get bitter
There's got to be a better way!
There's got to be a way to make it sweeter
A little more like lemon meringue"
