It may shimmer, shine and glitter, but in a calm and quiet way. That is what I found so attractive about this piece by\u00a0<a class=\"username\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/people\/sueevenson61?ref=owner_profile_leftnav\" target=\"_blank\">Susan Whitehouse-Evenson<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/TresJolieDesignsbySu?ref=shopinfo_shophome_leftnav\" target=\"_blank\">Tres Jolie Designs by Sue<\/a>. There are a lot of mica powders, glass beads and ribbons in her collections. And translucent clay that allows all that shimmer to bounce about without opaque materials or\u00a0dense color.<\/p>\n<p>The familiar pinched petal form shows off additional texture on its surface and an edging of gold to match the complexity of beads and ribbon; none of it is overdone. The soft colors also work with the restrained elegance of the design.<\/p>\n<p>If you like this piece, you&#8217;ll find many more beautiful pieces of jewelry, as well as scarves and\u00a0purses on <a href=\"http:\/\/tresjoliedesignsbysue.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sue&#8217;s website<\/a> and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/TresJolieDesignsbySu\" target=\"_blank\">her Etsy
