Gorgeous giveaway piece!
The whole gift guide is filled with stunning treasures. I love the Raku pendants, the beaded necklaces, and so many items. I think the piece I would most love to receive as a gift is the Take Me Long necklace http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13580963

It is very much my style and I love the versatility of this wearable art piece.

Smadar's necklace is so gorgeous! And in my favorite colors of black and white (the red looks nice in there, too).
:-)

As for a favorite, it's soooooo hard to choose among the more than 1000 listings by our team, but I've been ogling these gorgeous lampwork beads by Amy (AKDlampwork) for so long. Someone bought my favorite one, but I'd love it if I received this one as a gift:
