Birthday present

And here's the birthsday present.

Netted choker with round corals in sterling and fine silver.

Palying around with amethyst

In the past couple of weeks i made two amethyst wire netted sets... both as alternatives to a gift I made for a very good friend of mine. (Will post it soon).

One is simple and delicate, the other has more presence.

Rhodonite and Garnet Flower Earrings

Finally, here's the pink-wine combo earrings I mentioned in the previous post. They are my first pink earrings in a very, very long time. They are quite large and have a girly look with the shiny Silver-filled wire. I'm still undecided whether I should add patina or not. I'm inclining towards oxidizing, though. We'll see... I'll post updated pics, if necessary.

Materials used: 7 mm faceted round Rhodonite beads, 5 mm round Garnet beads and 7 mm cream Swarovski Pearls, 18, 20 and 28 Ga Silver filled wire. They measure almost 1.5" in diameter.

Update: eventually I've decided to treat them with LOS. I like the new look much better.
