going bridal...

here is a new venture....bridal jewelry. This is a custom order I did for a Bride. We discussed her desires and style. She showed me the colors and dresses for herself and bridesmads. I sketched out ideas and created these with her approval. will post pics of the day when it happens!

make me melt...

So my first attempt at soldering a piece.. went AWESOME! :-) I tumbled these rocks for about 4 weeks and then created a 'case' for the stone out of sterling silver. FUN the earrings are also soldered into the silver casing. the blue color that the stone created did not make it hard to create great jewelry!

I have been enjoying the use of my hammer and hammering block. great stress relief. :-) these earrings and pendant set have been a hit. I have now made this sterling silver pendant my 'default' every time I am looking for a piece to wear. The heart has yet to find a necklace 'home'. I usually wait until it grabs me before just putting something together. I guess that is the 'artsy' in me. My pieces have the need to be inspired by a design,painting,emotion, or just an outfit. The heart pendant will be entitled "tie the knot" when it has been complete. these simple pieces are great wardrobe staples with a personalized and unique vibe. Let me know if you want one. :-)
