This absolutely GORGEOUS necklace was donated by my new online friend Carol Dekle-Foss from TerraRusticADesign. I just purchased a similar piece from Carol and it's incredible!!!
The copper rose necklace is feminine and romantic, yet rustic and simple. Wear the copper rose necklace with your favorite jeans, brown boots and tan sweater over a white tank. Top off the look with a copper colored beret.
The pendant is an Mookatie stone and the color is mocha with a slight hint of lavender. I sand-carved the rose design onto the face and then painted it with copper metallic non-toxic paint.
The pendant is wrapped with oxidized copper wire and strung with a 1mm brown leather cord. The necklace is finished with a handmade copper clasp that has been oxidized and then machine and hand polished to create a lovely shine.

Beautiful pendant, I would love to win it. Sharing on FB which will tweet it as well. Thank you!
I checked out her site, and fell in love with the blue labadorite celtic knot necklace!
Wow, I didn't know stones could be carved that intricately!
I love the handmade jewelry displays she showed on her blog. I've been looking to change mine because I dislike the faux leather which adds nothing to my display.

I just LOVE the Dragonfly necklace. Everything is beautiful, though. Thanks for the chance to win. 8^)
I would love to learn more about the process of sand carving.
Beautiful pieces.
Love it! I added her to my etsy favorites - I love the white marble piece with the black design. I'll keep my eye on that for a while.
I also love the dragonfly necklace, although everything is really nice!
Where do I start? I love lotus flowers, opalite and anything with cancer awareness. What great go-to necklaces !!
I facebooked it too: http://www.facebook.com/expostfactojewelry
I fell in the love the African Green Opal necklace - Autumn Breeze. I am in love with them all, and her packaging is divine.
I will facebook it too!!
I never even imagined that semi-precious gemstones could be sand blasted or carved! Who would'a thunk....
awesome work!!
The African green Autumn Breeze blew me away...just caught the pun. Beautiful piece and gorgeous colors. I have to go back and look again!
I went to Staci Louise's shop and really like her work. The Lichen bracelet struck me. I don't know if I can afford to keep looking at these cool shops!
I really like her style.
Bird on a Wire, Circle of Life and African Opal all appealed to me. Lovely pieces.
Thank you for your compliments everyone! I am going to do a post soon on my process so come back and visit soon!!!
Beautiful necklace, I loved it, as well as the hope necklace and the dragonfly. Wish I was that talented.
Carol's sand carving is lovely - I'd like to learn more about it. All of her designs are so feminine & beautiful!!
Also posted it on my facebook page!

I visited Carols shop--very cool etched pendants. The african green opal one is my favorite!
Very cool shop - I love the white marble one with the fancy design on it. Thanks so much for having a giveaway and introducing me to her work!
I bought a piece for my friend after finding Carol on Etsy. She is such a warm and caring person! I'm extremely impressed with her work, and I'm hoping to own some pieces in the future.
Did a "share" from Carol's post on facebook!
I was not aware of this sandblasting technique until now. Very cool effect! I actually like this copper rose necklace the best out of her shop! Thanks for the giveaway :)

I love her Pegasus necklace, because I love horses. http://www.etsy.com/listing/80391716/pegasus-necklace-fossil-coral-engraved And it's very unique. I love the engraving on it.
Just tweeted about your giveaway and her shop.
