Two Toned Earrings

I have been experimenting with gold fill and sterling silver recently. Here is my latest creation, with the addition of aquamarine briolettes.

Golden Fever!

Years ago, I made a bracelet with two shades of golden Swarovski Crystals. I strung it on fishing line, as I did not have any other stringing material on hand. It is a lovely bracelet, that seems to have gone missing recently! I've decided to make a few of these, and list them in my Etsy shop. This bracelet listed here is made with 6-10mm Swarovski vintage gold pearls, as well as golden Swarovski crystals. Two strings of jewelry wire pass through the larger beads. I have recently made two of these bracelets, with a third one having a variation to the pattern.

A Lovely Stone Bracelet

I finally found myself in the mood to make a new bracelet! For this bracelet, I decided to use some sterling silver link chain that I have had laying around. I used two shapes of briolettes, round pearls, rondelles and ovals; as a result, this bracelet has lots of texture.

I'm Back With a New Pair of Earrings!

Yes, I am still alive and kicking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! And yes, it's been a long time since my last post. But I am back now, and I have a lovely pair of earrings to share. I made these blossom earrings after I received a request for a similar pair, the other pair consisting of tiny peacock pearls. The gold Swarovski pearls pair nicely with the sterling silver wire for a two-tone combination.

Lab and Smoky Quartz Clusters of Joy!

I have a couple strands of swirl briolettes that I purchased from the Gem Faire awhile ago. They are beautifully faceted and unique, and I decided to pair them with tiny labradorite rondelles. The rondelles are attached to tiny, sterling silver ball headpins that were made using a butane torch. I believe the smoky quartz and labradorite go well together; I hope you agree!

Black Friday Treasury

Happy Black Friday! Ok, I have to state that I am not one to get up early on this day and go shopping. For those of you that can relate, I have created a Black Friday, black and white Etsy Treasury. The shops listed in this treasury are offering Black Friday sales. Enjoy!

Spirals and Labradorite

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I'm back now! 

I've recently created some new earrings; both incorporate sterling silver spirals crafted from 18 gauge wire. The earrings on the left include tiny beads wire wrapped around the bottom half, and I included a small labradorite briolette that dangles from the bottom.
