Sterling Silver & Brass Earrings - Etsy Giveaway!

It's time for a brand new Etsy giveaway starting this week on April Fool's Day! And this is NO JOKE! I would like to introduce to you another great Etsy shop..3 Squares! This shop is owned by Jean in Raleigh, North Carolina. Jean dropped out of the corporate world to keep her sanity and focus on the things that she is most passionate about. Aside from her family, she really enjoys creating jewelry and cooking, so it’s no surprise that most of her beautiful designs are inspired by something edible.

Her jewelry is crafted from a mixture of metals in many forms and with a variety of finishes. Found objects are sometimes incorporated as well. She is mostly self-taught, and she continues to explore new materials and techniques. Her goal is to offer an eclectic menu of unique and interesting pieces one can enjoy wearing or giving.

Jean is inviting you to check out her 3Squares Etsy shop. She is offering this generous giveaway to one lucky winner this week......these simply lovely handmade earrings called "Pancakes" of shiny sterling silver and brass earrings!
