Garnets and Flowers

These little guys are a my new, latest favorite! They very dainty but pack a punch--they're always attracting attention! The medallions are feather light and since they're made in fine silver they have that beautiful white shine and resist tarnishing like sterling. The medallions is a motif that I'm really liking and I'm working on some necklace and bracelet designs. The bracelets will be made from sterling (to handle more wear and tear), but I have so many ideas for the necklaces that it's hard to pick one! I'm working on another pair of these with pink sapphires-- yummy! I'm planning on adding a few things to the showcase at Shop People LLC on SE Grand in Portland.

Rock'in the Swiss Blue Topaz

I'm loving this Swiss Blue Topaz that I found. Here's a picture of some stacking rings I made. Just imagine what this would look like with a 18k yellow gold bezel! I think that will be my next project. I'm also finishing up a blue moonstone ring--I'll post pictures after this weekend. Also on the "almost finished list"--I'm also almost finished with 2 broaches that I've been working on-- I'm hoping that I can finish them this weekend too.

Forget-me-not!

I finally got pictures of these! I recently came across some gorgeous Swiss blue topaz and had to make a pair of earrings. It reminds me of those forget-me-not-flowers (one of my favorites)! Soon to come--a matching necklace.
I love this design-- I'm into jewelry that I can wear whenever and not have to fidget with. I've been wearing these to yoga lately and didn't have to think twice about my jewelry while in headstand or while in shoulder stand!

Hoop, Hoop, Hooray!

I made these a little while ago. The Hoops are sterling and the pearl drops are fat little fresh water pearls. The flower "charms" are made from fine silver and they can be switched out with the pearls depending on your fancy for the day!
