Local Treasures - CatMooreDesign....and Giveaway!

Today's piece from CatMooreDesign is the last in this series of Local Treasures, and the most appropriate, in my opinion, for this time of year.

FF0111HEART1

Behold, the Cupid's Heart Knotted Necklace! Besides being gorgeous in general, it's just so perfect to give or receive as a gift for Valentine's Day (this is the part when you send this link to your significant other with the subject line "HINT HINT!")!

I fell in love with this necklace the moment I saw it - there's just something about the big nugget stones that made me catch my breath. I love how organic they are; all different sizes, some perfectly clear, some a little cloudy, and the weight of them when you put this on just feels so rich and luxurious. Of course, Cat included the matching earrings for me, which I adore. The pretty little stones, just as organic looking as their larger counterparts, on the delicate gold chains of different lengths are the perfect compliment to this statement piece.

This wouldn't be a CatMooreDesign if there wasn't something interesting going on with the clasp. True to form, the Cupid necklace has this beautiful heart toggle clasp that you can wear in the back, or as I prefer it, on display in the front. I do wish that the necklace was a little longer, but that's the beauty of handmade jewelry - most designers are able to do customizations since they're making the pieces themselves.

Don't forget to visit Cat at her Etsy Shop, or "Like" her on Facebook for special discounts, updates, and first looks at her new pieces!

Ok, full disclosure here: Along with lending me this whole kaboodle of gorgeous stuff, Cat also provided me with one necklace to keep or give away. And let me tell you, I've been battling with myself hardcore whether to keep it all to myself or to put it up for grabs. But because I love you guys so much (for realsies), and because I want one of you to get a chance to see Cat's beautiful design up close and personal, I've decided to suck it up and giveaway this gorgeous lil' bauble:
