I love these; sakura are important in my own personal symbology, reminding me to enjoy everything in the moment because things constantly change and go through their own processes and cycles.
I think I have a new favorite every time I look at your shop, but right now my favorite is the “Red artisan glass and gemstone necklace in sterling”

http://www.etsy.com/listing/110439674/ethiopian-opal-and-rainbow-moonstone?
I love ethiopian opals. They are so full of color it’s like they are alive.
Now this is a gift card I would love winning.
Narrowing it to only one?!? Well, I must admit: http://www.etsy.com/listing/108199771/mexican-fire-opal-carnelian-and-ruby has been tempting me since you first listed it. *drool*
Just one?! Impossible. My current favorites are these…
http://www.etsy.com/listing/110435267/fancy-chalcedony-gemstone-clusters-with
And this because I bought a pair of earrings on vacation last week that were very similar in color & style & this would got PERFECTLY with them.

And really, any of your Chalcedony or amethyst (green or purple) jewelry is usually a huge hit with me.
And then like I told you last week, I bought a pair of these (but larger & unfaceted) last year and wear them ALL THE TIME.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/108184186/bronze-raku-and-river-stone-bracelet
The Bronze, raku and river stone bracelet with copper and charms (and itty-bitty Buddha charm) is by far my favorite piece right now ; )
I think my favorite right now is http://www.etsy.com/listing/105301930/copper-and-turquoise-hummingbird
Is my favorite listing allowed to be the custom listing you put up for the various custom projects I’ve requested from you over the past year or two? I am continually amazed and inspired by the beautiful work you’ve created for me, my friends, and family. There was the chalcedony and citron for the Bosnian wedding, the birth steward necklaces, and the grandmother bracelets – all so beautiful and thoughtful.
If you mean a current listing, I really like what you do in this style: http://www.etsy.com/listing/95448959/bohemian-sterling-silver-and-topaz-wire
I saw the gift-card feature when I was checking out your Etsy store a couple days ago. Fell in LOVE with your agate-and-sterling necklace. Now… I’m going right over there before someone else buys it and get it for my niece. (And I hope I’m forgiven for hoping she doesn’t like it so I can take it back. LOL I know she’ll love it, so there’s no hope for it.)
My favorite listing is this one. It is so beautiful and well considered throughout. I love seeing what you do with the lampworked beads.

I keep coming back to the hot cup of milky tea Yunnan earrings…even though I love so many of your pieces, these have a special kind of evocative pleasure.
My favorite right now is http://www.etsy.com/listing/112987071/love-pink-amethyst-rose-quartz-and
And then there’s http://www.etsy.com/listing/108200420/frances-fine-silver-pendant-with-pink
But frankly, my very favorite of all time was the one-word pendant with one jewel attached that I bought and wear every day. I love your jewelry so very much, Rain.
Cool idea!
Frances – fine silver pendant with pink sapphire and peridot is my favourite. I find it absolutely beautiful
I love these http://www.etsy.com/listing/112987494/padmavati-hammered-copper-hoop-earrings but I love everything.
Lovely contest!
Currently I’m coveting this – http://www.etsy.com/listing/110656763/blue-agate-druzy-slice-necklace-with
But because I don’t really wear necklaces, I also love these http://www.etsy.com/listing/112989385/padmavati-hammered-sterling-silver-hoop
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
I LOVED my custom necklace from the beginning of the year… hoping for another one next year. If its got to be a current piece.. http://www.etsy.com/listing/92422975/red-artisan-glass-and-gemstone-necklace has called to me ever since I saw it.
Yay! It’s still the 30th
Ermm…Myyy favourite piece is definitely the blue agate druzy necklaces and the rose quartz and moonstone dangle earrings 
**Blessings!**
Awesome contest!
I’m currently in love with the blue agate druzy necklaces and the hammered sterling hoop earrings.
