New stuff. I call it lets get stoned. Mixed gem stones on heavy line, yeah go ahead hike and swim with them on. I sure do ;-)
Shell found on a beach walk. Wire wrapped with freshwater pearls n magnesite starfish beads. Used heavy line to string abalone and Mexican turquoise drops, and magnesite and turquoise disks to finish with a lead free silver metal clasp.
Newly made earrings. Mixed metals of copper and silver.
This funky necklace is made long enough no clasp is needed. Pendent is a amethyst slab wrapped with copper wire and a bit of silver wire accents. I had wrapped the amethyst a while back then didn’t have the beads to inspire me. I started to follow the store Jesse James Beads. When my order came the beads were not my usual sort but just what I needed. Mixing the copper n silver in this necklace makes it nice enough to wear year round. The colors include various shades of purple, pink, grey. Even a bit of purple leather to cover the wire bail. Plenty of wire wrapping in this piece with various size of wire to best fit beads, also copper split rings to join pieces. Used copper 49 strand .024” with 43.8 lb break weight for neck to hold it all together. I love this slab. Weight if this piece is a bit over 200grams
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!
