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.

Pearls for Little Girls

Its been a long time since I updated the jewelry blog. I have so many projects to share, but haven't really taken the time to take pictures. I finally did take a picture of one of my recent recent projects and here it is.

This is a delicate pearl necklace with petite earrings for a little girl. My friend had bought a link of pearls for her daughter. I offered to convert it into a necklace for her so that she could use it. Well, the necklace was quite easy as the pearls were already linked, but I decided to use two of those pearls to make small earrings as well. This way she would have a set. It turned out really well and I am looking forward to seeing pictures of her little one wearing this.

Coral Gold!

I have always been very creative and like to make things. When I was a kid, I used to watch various craft shows or read craft books and then rush to the store to buy supplies. For the next few hours I would be immersed in my task and used to be so happy to see the final product. The closer it looked to the one displayed on TV or in the book, the happier I was. The best thing was that my parents always encouraged me.

I also love jewelery. My friend used to compare me to a crow; "If its shiny and a piece of jewelery, you will definitely take a look at it" she said. And its not the gold, silver or diamonds that excite me (that definitely makes my husband happy). What I like most is to wear jewelery which matches my outfit. Accessorizing for me means finding the right earrings or the perfect bracelet.



So a few years ago when I was taking a couple of months vacation, it just made sense to start making jewelery. One and one makes two right?!
Well the initial few projects were tedious, and perhaps not the most professional of finishes but now I am at the point where I am comfortable enough to take photos of the final product. My husband is as encouraging as my parents are and I must acknowledge the fact that he is the one who takes painstaking effort to click the photo to display my creations in the perfect light!



I made this for my sister-in-law. Hope she enjoys wearing it! And I hope you like the pictures.
