Boys of Summer Lampworked Starfish Necklace Set

Description

[...cue "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley...]

As a child of the '80s, there isn't a summer where Don Henley's "Boys of Summer" doesn't echo in my head.

This Lampworked Starfish reminds me of the summer days spent in Myrtle Beach, SC. The cool green contrasts nicely with the gold stardust beads, and the AB czech glass and white foil-lined beads are perfectly offset by the copper goldstone beads and the faceted AB crystal.

My grandfather was a jeweler. When we visited, I used to sit for hours and gaze at the beautiful stones he had shaped and put on display in a coffee table in their living room. Goldstone was always one of my favorites, and I own the first set, in goldstone, that he ever made for my grandmother. It's an engineered stone, with flecks of copper that sparkle like a millions bucks, or like the grains of sand on the beach in the 100+ afternoon heat.

This 17.5" (44.5cm) necklace set, inspired by Myrtle Beach summers and visits to my grandparents, will transport you to the sun, sand and surf, even in the frostiness of winter. If it doesn't, you need a good dose of imagination)or a Corona and wedge of lime)! The earrings are posts, with a daisy cap. They can be easily switched to ear wires, if desired. I'd take them up a notch no charge and make them really sassy by adding an AB lime green czech glass bead pendant or goldstone to the bottom. (see the last photo, either of the pairs of earrings will match the necklace, you get one pair when you purchase this listing)
