IDEA: Amethyst Heart Bracelet and Earrings

Amethyst Heart Bracelet and Earrings
Hearts and birthstone crystals - how perfect is this set for February? We have combined two tones of amethyst Swarovski crystals along with an amethyst glass heart bead to create this beautiful set. The finished length of the bracelet is 7 ¼ inches, but you will have 2 heart beads and plenty of crystals left to lengthen it if you desire.
