Sterling Silver SIlpada Necklace

This lovely little Silpada necklace was made in the last decade.  Silpada started creating their designs in the late nineties.  Bonnie Kelly and Teresa Walsh met, and eventually became close friends, after two of their children started the first grade together.  They both shared a love of sterling silver and began creating and selling their own designs.  After hosting several home parties together, they officially launched Silpada Designs in 1997.  Today, their basement-born business is thriving with thousands of independent representatives selling their product.

I am no Silpada expert, and shockingly, I have never even been to one of their home parties.  But...I find their jewelry to be well made and of superior quality to much of the sterling silver jewelry you see retailing today.  I have seen their catalog (and many of their pieces firsthand) and although a bit pricey, you definitely get what you pay for.   

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.etsy.com/ is coming soon.
