What: Believe In You Necklace

Why: Because the power of believing in yourself is greater than any odds you will ever encounter.

Modern and fun, but with an important message, this 18” sterling silver necklace celebrates self confidence. A strong, yet feminine, sterling silver circle represents the power and unity created when women come together to share friendship, ideas, support and encouragement.

The sterling silver “believe” charm reminds us to stay true to ourselves, have confidence in our abilities and surround ourselves with people who are supportive, positive influences. The hand-wrapped Swarovski crystal briolette and bead are in two of the official colors of Count Me In. The sterling silver spiral adds a touch of fun, and reminds us that no matter how crazy life gets, just keep believing in yourself, and things will get better!

What: Pearls of Wisdom Pendant Necklace

Why: Inspired by their motto "Believe in You!" and the official color palette of the Count Me In organization, each component of this pendant was carefully thought out. The warm earthy Swarovski brown pearls shimmer and the green crystals with an aurora borealis finish give this pendant sparkle. The white freshwater pearl symbolizes you standing out from a crowd and stands as a subtle reminder to be yourself. This pendant is entirely handmade by the artist. First a gold frame is formed and hammered, then each crystal and pearl is carefully wrapped by hand using very fine gold wire. 

The pendant measures approximately 1-1/4 inch around and swings from three strands of fine rope chain adjustable from 14 to 18 inches with a lobster clasp. It's perfect for giving as a gift since you know it will fit!

Wear your pendant as a reminder to "Believe in You" or give one as a gift to encourage and support someone you care about. 

About the Designer: Everywhere I go I am drawn to unusual stones and beads, each with their own personality.  When designing, I often do not work from a sketch, instead I let the materials tell me what they want to be.  The colors and shapes of gemstones and beads give me infinite inspiration.  I have always had a keen eye for color and balance and that's what seems to make my designs work. – Beth Spicker, President
