Today, I worked on samples of jewelry for a bride to review for her wedding party. The gowns are a gorgeous champagne color, with burgundy accents. Here are my designs...with strict budget limitations:

The pearls appear pink, but they are actually more champagne.

Below is an additional design...I'm guessing it is out of budget, but I just couldn't help myself!!

I don't normally use swarovski crystals ... so, this is a new look for me! I think I like it, for a change!

My latest. . .

These gorgeous turquoise beads are beautifully set in sterling silver. The necklace is 16.5", the earrings are about 2". A very feminine look. The turquoise beads came from Turquoise Magpie.
(Necklace is SOLD!!)








Gorgeous 14kt gf lavender/mauve tourmaline drop earrings. The earwires are "slip resistant". These lovely tourmaline flat drop beads came from Turquoise Magpie.






I have never seen Kyanite this gorgeous! The stones are translucent and a gorgeous blue! (The photo does no justice to the color--the sun was not shining. The blue is a rich, brilliant sapphire blue.) The beads came from Spectrum gems.






Dalmation jasper and faceted black onyx drop 14kt gf earrings. These earrings are great to wear anywhere with anything.

Squiggles

I had seen a similar bracelet in a magazine. I designed the coordinating necklace and earrings for Joy. My jewelry looks so pretty on her, doesn't it!! Thank you, Joy, for being such a wonderful model, friend and customer!

Supreme Ocean Jasper Cabachon

This beautiful designer cabachon was created by the talented folks at Blue Heron Gems. I tried to keep the sterling silver setting very simple, as not to detract from the stunning patterns and colors of the ocean jasper. Do you think I succeeded?

New Bracelets

I love days like today! The 3rd day of a weekend feels like a gift--somehow, my mind clears and I am able to create. . .

Today, I worked with some pattern wire that I've had for quite a while. (They get easier each time!!) This bracelet turned out really well. Sterling silver. Size 7 1/2, about 5/8" wide. Very substantial.
Another sterling silver bracelet. This one is about 3/8" wide and 7".
A great two tone cuff! Just under 3/8". A beautiful floral center. 6 1/2"
Another 2 Tone cuff. 7". About 3/8" wide.

Ice Storm!!

This is the weather here today. I was hoping for a little snow. . . instead, we got an ice storm!! The Governor (I work for the State of Delaware) gave us off today because of the dangerous travel conditions. I spent most of the morning without power, debating if I should go out and sit in my car!! It was really dark and dreary, so I got out my pliers and made some jewelry!



These are sterling silver hand formed hoop earrings with removeable dangles. One dangle is a stick pearl, the other is a little grey pearl nugget and a black pearl. The dangles can be kept together or used separately. (SOLD!) The second pair of earrings are turquoise--campitos turquoise nuggets on the bottom and stabilized turquoise beads on top, with a 3mm sterling silver bead in the middle.


I just love these stones!! They are black & blue flash labradorite. The blue is just electric! The bracelet is sterling silver and features black flash labradorite losenge beads on the side.



This green peruvian opal focal bead is just gorgeous! Rich mahogony obsidian footballs accent either side of this 14kt goldfilled bracelet. (SOLD!)

A match to the earrings above, this sterling silver bracelet features campitos turquoise nuggets in the center, flanked by round turquoise beads on either side.

Amazonite & Sterling Silver!

My Mom's birthday gift! I am really pleased with the way it turned out. It's a little hard to tell, but it is actually sterling silver with amazonite. (My photography skills leave a lot to be desired!)


This set matches the bracelet--I had given it to my Mom for Christmas. (As you can probably tell, I didn't take this photo!!)
