Crystal Floral Citrine
Gorgeous hand cast clear resin flower is adorned with bright citrine and fuschia Swarovski crystals. Hangs from a gold tone chain with front-fastening toggle clasp. The pendant measures just under 2″at it’s largest point. The chain is 16″ but can be made longer (up to 20″) if noted to seller at checkout. Certain to brighten any day! Shop the full line of Deanna Burasco jewelry here. We think this necklace would look mighty pretty with Misile’s Delancy Dress.
About the designer Deanna Burasco:
Welcome to my Smashing Darling site! I have enjoyed creating in multiple arenas since childhood. I studied art and advertising at Kansas State University and was a graphic artist for over 15 years when I discovered jewelry design and quickly became enamored with it. I currently reside in the Kansas City area with my husband and daughter, where I create my products in a previously unused small closet 
, but I dream of one day living and creating in Southern California.

Name: Kirsten Goede
City/State: Chicago, IL
Occupation: Jewelry Designer
Tell us about what and who you are wearing?
Luxe and long cardigan from Heidi Hess. The miracle tank top by Kate Boggiano. Vintage gold belt. Khakis I made a little “indie” by letting out the hem so I can wear them with my 4 inch bronze heels. Rock Candy Ring in Grass & Citron necklace in Lime by Kirsten Goede for her line Objets d’Envy.
Tell us about something you LOVE that you want others to know about?
The FLIP video camera…pocket sized and stylish. Super easy to use. Captures great video quality. I can’t wait to post videos on my new site.
How would you describe your personal style?
Long and lean. I love accentuating my height with great trousers and 4 inch heels. I feel prettier, the taller I am. I wear simple colors with a pop of color. I like to have one notable feature for each outfit…a bell sleeve, a striped belt, a loud print maxi dress, killer wedges. Then there’s jewelry…I love having the perfect piece for every outfit and mood. One of the perks of being a jewelry designer!
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I’m enamored with Spain. I’ve been twice in the past 5 years. My next visit will include the southern regions: the white villages, Castilla, Andalusia, Sevilla, with a side trip to Morocco. I plan to eat my way through the countryside.
What is your favorite color, why?
Green. It’s the color with the most personality. It can be cool or warm. Green can be lime, khaki, mint, grass, olive, sea, moss, pea, apple, sage, pine. I marvel at the color range of greens in gardens. Also, there is a perfect shade of green to pair with any other color in the palette. It’s lovely counterbalance to brights and neutrals.
What 3 things can’t you live without?
Color! Tab. My season tickets to the Cubs.
