More silver leaves!


Just finished these the other day! They're grey moonstones with little fine silver repousse leaves attached! I've worn them a few times and have received lots of compliments! I bought these moonstones about 8 years ago! Couldn't resist them! I have a few more left-- maybe I'll make another pair to sell at Shop People! So many stones, so little time....

Silver Leaves and Pearls



Yes--it's been awhile! Remember back during the holidays when I mentioned that I was working on some broach ideas? I finally have pictures to show!

This was a really fun project. These look like they were cast but actually they were each hand fabricated. Made from sterling silver--I had to hammer away on each one until they look just right! I also learned a lot about the specific hardware needed so your broach will securely lock in place! Each one has a little white fresh water pearl affixed to it as a nice little contrast to the textured metal. I made one for my mom and the other for my aunt--I hope they like them and can wear them!

Lots of ideas here! I love the idea of creating little "pairs" of broaches-- sometimes you can come across these at vintage jewelry stores. I'll keep you posted!

Filigree and Me!

Look familiar? These little filigree medallions look fabulous as a clasp for a necklace (as posted earlier) and also as earrings! Lots of ideas for these little guys! I'll keep you posted with new ideas as soon as I get pictures!
