Most no longer available. Posted to show my designs from first show.
Of course inspired by my own states beauty. Nature in any form is amazing. Check out the greens,yellows, browns and granite grey and sky's blue gray.
Quartz chips, sleeping beauty turquoise chips, mosaic turquoise, magnesite bear on the longer 2strand. Choker is quartz & turquoise chips with quartz arrow shaped beads. Both have lead free America made pewter clasp, larger has a cool drop pendant, removable. I usually offer my necklaces with earrings. I use surgical steel ear wires, or sterling silver, some may have gold filled. I just purchased ear nuts that I will include.
This was fun.
Clasp side of double strand turquoise, spiny oyster, pearl, shell, glass beads, with inlay shell necklace.
Best part the holes for stringing.
Beautiful image of hand held blue-green Chalcedony crusted exterior with a pocket revealing interior of Chrysocolla stalactites color of blue. Shell holds beads cut from Chalcedony much like the exterior in first photo. More in greens. Made a pair of earrings from with small round bead accent.
A good friend who trusts my creativity asked me to lengthen a favorite brass necklace by 10”. So instead of just adding chain or links I decided to use good ol jumprings. Hey it’s I had in brass stock. Since the necklace used hooks n rings this should add length without diverting too much from original design concept.
Finished with extension. Best part it can easily be altered to adjust length.
Gifts picked out today and went to good home.
Contemporary Jewelry Handmade in Northern California from the Highest Quality Natural MaterialsI like using strong beading wire, mixed metals, leather, I love turquoise, shells, various gemstones, crystals, bone, ceramic, acrylic beads and good strong crimp beads are a must.There are so many product options out there.I decided to limit my products to mostly North American regions and Mexico. I remember when I first started I purchased some Chinese turquoise and wasn’t too pleased. Then I learned a few of my vendors were selling me Chinese stuff too. There are some quality gemstones mined in China. However knowing the distance traveled made me reconsider and stay within our continent. It’s a big one anyway. Jewelry making helps me relax, I find it therapeutic. My back and fingers get sore but it’s all worth it when I see someone wearing something I’ve made. Darn right Joyous!
