A Review and Giveaway | A Behind the Moon First

Well looky here!  
I'm actually doing a review and giveaway!
Yes. Giveaway!

A little backstory....

I've been making jewelry since...well I can't remember exactly when, it's been so long ago...
but when I actually began thinking about selling it I subscribed to a couple catalog's and jewelry making magazines and came across some ads for Nina Designs.  It was love at first sight. 
I started following their blog about a year ago and saw an opportunity a few months
ago to become a blog partner. 
The time has finally come.
 They sent me some items to design with and share with all of you.  Score!!!
What a happy mail day it was when my little pretties arrived!
I was instantly smitten with their products.  There is no denying the exceptional quality.

Nina Designs has been in business for 25 years making high quality and truly unique jewelry components for artisans.  Each designs starts with a handmade sketch that is tweaked until it is ready for the market.  All the items are handmade and intricately produced in Asia by skilled silversmiths with extreme attention to detail.
Nina Designs prides themselves on being able to feed someone's creativity
and help enable their artistic vision.

The aspects of Nina Designs that really sets them apart in my eyes is the undeniable quality and 
the uniquely fluid designs of their products.

Here are a few of my favorite components from their store.

Now let's get to the giveaway!
There will be two winners, one for each pair of these earrings I designed using Nina Designs pieces.
Blue Apatite Teardrops
