Notes from the artist :
These Cubic Zirconia shine like the stars. And they are an amazing 17mm X 13mm. Stunning! They are wrapped in Gold Fill wire and have Gold Fill Earwires. Green and Gold are such a beautiful combination.
My jewelry and bath & body products are always VEGAN. I never use any animal by-products such as leather, bone, shell, feathers, silk or pearls etc.
I donate 10% of my sales to the Animal Place in Vacaville, CA. They are a wonderful organization that rescues farm animals from abuse and neglect. www.animalplace.org
