Ocean Sunrise Pearl necklace

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 01:37:13 +0000

This Copper wire wrapped necklace is 20” in length and closes with a copper toggle clasp. It features a trio of clustered stick pearls that have a sparkling light peach-pink color. The stick pearls measure approx. 30mm long and 12-14mm across. Each trio is accented with a 5mm burgundy freshwater pearl. Also featured in this necklace is six 12mm pearl discs which shimmer and shine in multiple shades of pink, peach,copper and burgundy. Truly iridescent in person ! I accented these discs with the burgundy pearls and added more 6mm dusty rose pearls toward the ends of the strand for contrast. This design reminds me of a pale peachy pink morning Sunrise over the Ocean. I love it so much and I hope you love it too.

Custom order for Fluffy Do NOT Buy unless you are Fluffy !

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 17:39:52 +0000

This beautiful bracelet was made especially for WhiteFluffyDogs – please do not buy it.

I am always open to custom orders and will be listing more Sterling Silver products in the near future.

This three stranded bracelet evolved as Fluffy and I communicated and I am VERY PLEASED with how it turned out !

I used two different sizes of Sterling Silver chain and added various gemstones to form a gypsy-like cascade of dangles that will fall down onto the top of the hand. The main strand is beautifully blue Iolite, and the classic swirled clasp holds them all together. I oxidized the silver for a rich dark contrast to the bright shiny jewels.

This entire custom process was very rewarding for me. Thanks Fluffy !
