Pearl and Jasper Charm Bangle

February 6th, 2010

I’ve been wanting to play with some new copper head pins I made that have beautiful deep pink ball ends, and when I received my latest goodies from artbeads to review, I knew the red poppy jasper beads would be perfect. (You can find the jasper beads and other shades of red and pink in [...]

Fire Sculpted Fine Silver

December 16th, 2009

Two of my favorite techniques to use in jewelry making are fusing and sculpting abstract shapes with wire. A while back, I was experimenting with ways to combine the two, and came up with a technique I call fire sculpting. It’s a little sculpting wire, a little fusing/melting, followed by more sculpting, and I think [...]

Pearl Rings for Small Fingers

October 28th, 2009

I added a couple of rings to my etsy shop – they are sized for smallish fingers (size 5 1/2 to 5 3/4) and can’t be resized, but they are really, really pretty (if I do say so myself). So, if size 6 rings feel just a teeny bit big on your finger, one of [...]

I am LOVING my latest design – so much that I think I’m keeping this prototype for myself! It started out as a pendant, using one of my handmade argentium silver rings.

The Freeform Cluster Pendant

December 21st, 2008

I’m loving my latest design, a freeform pendant with a cluster of tiny pearls. I love the look of clusters, but I really wanted to use it in a way that fits with my freeform style, so the finished pieces would be obviously mine. I made each of the little headpins myself from 28 gauge [...]

New Pearl Earrings on Etsy

December 2nd, 2008

My freshwater pearl drops have been selling so well, I added a pair in bronze: These pearls are a beautiful color that I call bronze – it’s kind of gold, kind of brown, with pretty undertones of green and/or pink depending on the light. I love the metallic look, and because they are on silver [...]
