Grey Pearls in a Classic Setting

While this is not my first multi-strand necklace, it is my first two strand necklace which has parallel rows. It is definitely not as easly as it looks. You need to adjust the pearls just right so that the rows run parallel and align correctly.

The beautiful fresh water grey pearls and the swarowski crystal inlays are just timeless and together they form a piece that can be worn for any occasion, on any dress. The sterling silver clasp is the perfect accent which enhances the piece.

I absolutely loved the earrings too. I didn't want to make dangling earrings as the person I made it for doesn't wear danglers.

It is a graceful piece, one of the traditional classics.

Classic Black and White

I made this set for a friend and I am glad she really liked it. This has possibly been my toughest project thus far. This was because I had to try at least a dozen times before I got the lace around the focal piece right. I was finally able to make the pendant I had envisioned. The inspiration came from the focal stone. This is a beautiful stone focal (I forget the name of the stone). The surface is beautifully polished, almost reflective. Once I had the main piece, the ideas just flowed and the necklace was born. I am extremely pleased with the end result.

The necklace is made of cultured fresh water pearls and czech black crystals.

This is how it looks when you turn it around, so it can be worn either way.

I didn't want the earrings to take the attention away from the necklace, but also wanted them to have their own presence and I think they do. The earrings are simple and elegant pearl and black crystal drops.

Swaroski Crystals and Chandelier Earrings

Its been a while since I last wrote a blog post but not for a lack of trying. I have had this one composed for a few weeks now and was waiting to take photographs of some of the projects. And so it remained incomplete and waiting to be posted.

Finally, having taken pictures I expect to update this blog more often now and also to take pictures as soon as I finish a project.

Presented here is a strand of white Swarowski crystals ending in a silver plated clasp embellished with crystals.

Accompanying it are beautiful silver plated chandelier earrings.

This is a simple and elegant design and will complement a cocktail dress as beautifully as it would a casual jeans and tshirt outfit.
