Earring Extravaganza!

My next batch of one-of-a-kind earrings!  All are sterling silver with handmade ear hooks or hoops and all gemstones are genuine unless otherwise noted. 

So much fun to create create create!  All designs are available in my shop or have been sold.  I'm also happy to take custom orders (those are my favorite!).

Amethyst Teardrop Earrings

Amethyst Chunk Hoops

Aqua Terra Jasper & Jet Earrings (jasper is dyed)

Beaded Zipper Earrings (glass)

Rhodonite Hoops

Sodalite Dagger Hoops

I'm working on some more pendants and a bracelet or two for next time!

Happy Creating!

Continuing with Wire Designs - Pendants

I'm really loving setting cabochons in wire this year!  Here are a couple more designs I've completed to date:

Chevron Amethyst from Mackay, ID in sterling silver.

Fossilized Coral, sterling silver, and rose gold-filled wire.

Obsidian conglomerate in sterling silver setting - custom order.

This last pendant was a custom order - the "stone" is a manmade conglomerate of obsidian, quartz and nickel.  These conglomerates are very interesting and can be gorgeous to look at - I've seen some featuring turquoise, coral, a purple stone, and brass!

Happy Creating,

Tiffany Stone Pendants

At the end of last year, I posted one of the Tiffany stones that I had set in sterling silver wire.  Well, this past week I wire wrapped the other two that I had!  You can read more about Tiffany Stone (also called beryllium opal or Bertrandite) in my original post.

The slabs that my local contact had were pinkish purple.  The beauty of Tiffany stone is that is can range from light pinkish lavender to dark bluish violet.  I hope to find some in the blue range for next time!
