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.

Garnet and Peridot Flowers on Wire Netted Leaves

New product available in my Etsy and Breslo shops.

Initially designed as a pink-wine combo... but my Rhodonite beads were just too large, so I had to improvise... again. This is the result: garnet and peridot flowers in a netted Silver Filled Frame.





Update: These earrings now have a new look after LOS-treatment and hand polishing.

Silver Filled Wire Netted "Bib" Necklace with Corals

Here's another one of my most laborious pieces. This one was made last December, and even though it didn't take 3 days to make, it did require a huge amount of wrapping and netting. I don't know why I'm making these time-consuming pieces, I'll never be able to sell them, and for lack of festive events in my life, I'm not wearing them myself either. Seems like a complete waste of time, and still... I can't tell you how happy I am after finishing one of these pieces, what a huge sense of fulfillment, accomplishment they bring to me. And that seems to be a good enough reason.

Netted Ribbon in Silver

Finally, a pair of netted ribbon earrings in silver. I used 20 and 28 Ga soft Silver Filled wire to wrap some faceted 8 mm purple Agate beads. I left the metal untarnished to preserve the beautiful contrast between the bright wire and dark reddish purple stones.

Silver-filled Pendant with Corals for my Mom

A pendant made with Silver-filled wire, tiny (3mm) round Coral beads, and a 10x8 mm Coral cab. I would have oxidized it a little, if it wasn't made for my Mom,  who prefers her silver bright and shiny.




Aqua Terra Jasper in a Netted Copper Frame

One of my favorites. It sold almost instantly, so I've decided to make another, slightly shorter piece, maybe with corals. Will post images when it's ready.

Peridot Feathers

Netted copper feathers. The pendant was made out of a leftover frame from the mixed metal "Endless Road" necklace (made to order). It's quite long, but it looks just perfect on a long copper chain.
