Delving into Different Metals

It's been a while since I showcased my new items on the blog, so here are a few new experiments both in photography and techniques. I've decided to take the plunge and delve further into precious metals. Especially for my gemstone pieces. Here are a few.

Naivete

Duchess

Yup, I took the plunge and delved into gold filled wires as well. :D My Paypal is weeping right now lol.

Evil Twin

The reason behind the naming is because there is an alternate version of this - Periwinkle Blue Drops, that is wire wrapped with tarnish resistant silver artistic wire. This one is with oxidized sterling silver.

Illusive Owl

Aside from trying out more precious metals, I experimented on using different metals and techniques as well. This necklace is made with antiqued bronze, silver and gold plated components, which makes it very interesting.

Dew Drops

I also tried making some lariat necklaces with the various lone-colored chalcedony stones I have. (believe me, I have a lot of them) Here is the first one which has more blue.

Green Drops

And the 2nd one showcasing how it can be worn. These chalcedonies are more green. :)

Spear

I'm not sure what is the name for this type of cut. (fancy cut?) But I quite like them and their large size. :D

My Heart

A last minute creation for valentines hahaha.

And last but not least, my signature pearl cluster bracelets. How can I conclude a post on new items without them?
