Tribeca - SOLD

For a period of time i was rather fascinated with shell and mother of pearl beads, and i guess the fascination is back with a twist. In fact i've come to notice that abalone shells are one of the few beads that has really interesting shapes to play with. Most gemstones tend to come with rather similar cuts and for a person like me who relies on shapes of materials a lot as a design factor, i'm also beginning to feel a little stifled. So imagine my delight to find such a lovely shape to work with! I've kept it really simple so as not to detract from the high sheen and unique qualities of the abalone shell. Tribeca measures 3.5cm excluding stainless steel earhooks. Wires used are argentium silver.

Wing Accents - SOLD

Decided to do a bit of wire crafting to experiment and see what i could do with a one time try without ruining the wire. Guess i did a pretty ok job huh. Imported black cubic zirconia butterflies and brass swallow charms on tarnish resistant wires. Wing Accents measures 4.5cm excluding 14k gold plated earhooks.

Naomi - Sold

Naomi celebrates spring by lying down on the grass and watching the azure skies cloak the days with colours soft and cheery. Imported yellow cubic zirconia butterflies, aquamarine nuggets, swarovski crystals with full sterling and argentium silver hooks, chains and wires. Naomi's kinda zesty, a good way to inject some life into 2008 after its first quarter. Measures 5cm excluding sterling silver earhooks.

Dusk - SOLD

I finally gave in to my sickness of over 3 weeks and saw a doctor. Not surprisingly he told me it's clearing up, but gave me an mc and insisted i take a good rest and not go to work. So here i am taking pictures of a necklace i completed over the weekend. This little darling would be rather charming against a crisp shirt or blouse, quite lovely for work i'd say. The bronzite oval, zebra jasper coin and cream pearls make for a rather elegant do. More close up shots of it here, here and here. Dusk measures 22.5" inclusive of pendant. One piece only.
