“Right from the start, I have been attracted to natural  and soft colors that reminded me of the
beauty of nature.” Sophie Van Tiggelen, Designer Bagatelle- Jewelry

In New York we don’t get surprised when it snows in spring. The weather decides our choice of
clothing and shoes but it doesn’t have a chance when it comes to our jewelry. If you’re wishing
for warmer weather, just close your eyes and slip on a pair of Caribbean Blue Chandelier earrings
by Bagatelle-Jewelry. They bring the promise of sandy beaches, warm ocean breezes and
dancing under the stars until dawn. These 2” 10/16 (65mm) sterling silver triangular shaped
chandelier earrings are accented with opal Swarovski crystals, luminous turquoise chalcedony
faceted briolettes, and lapis lazuli discs. A simple yet striking combination of stones each
absorbing and reflecting light differently. Their exotic island girl style will take from your your sunny
day right into your starry night. While these earrings are not “trendy” they will go nicely with
many current looks for spring and summer 2005. They are much lighter than they appear but my
ears felt a bit uncomfortable after wearing them for an entire day into early evening. The
triangular design flatters most face shapes.  They look delicate but are sturdy and well made.
They move gently and quietly and are not distracting. At $39.99, this is an affordable, quality
piece of jewelry that you will take with you on many warm weather weekends away. Sophie
Van Tiggelen creates a limited number of pieces of each design. If an item is sold out, please
