A Few Favorites

I like being versatile in my jewelry design. There is something for everyone. Some of my own designs have become favorites. I have made similar necklaces with different gem stones for my own jewelry box.

The hand wrapped flower pendant made with Crazy Lace Agate and Amazonite, with Sterling Silver wire and chain.

The Calcedony pendant hung from a seed bead woven bail. The necklace is hand woven Kumihimo (the Japanese art of braiding silk cords). I love black, in necklaces and clothes.

I especially love showcasing gemstones with wire. And the warmth of Carnelian is a draw, always. You can see more of my designs at my Etsy shop. I am exhibiting at an art show this weekend, so I will be back blogging on Monday.

What is your favorite type of necklace? Simple and small or large and chunky?

What a gorgeous bright colored happy jewelry creations you have! I had two new age shops before I moved to Belgium and I LOVE crystals and semi precious stones :) I still have a huge collection.

Beautiful collection...I love them all but the 1st picture is my favorite.

gosh, I liked all three! The flower is so 3-dimensional and the wire wrapping is so pretty. I've started beadweaving rope, and am looking for ways to use it. How did you attached the hook in your woven bail? The braiding is beautiful!

They are all beautiful! I like big and chunky necklaces, but that's just because I am big and chunky, and they work better for me! lol.

Thank you all for your kind words, you made my day:):)

Storybeader, I use 28 gauge silver wire and create a loop. Then open the loop and thread it through two seed beads. Then close the loop up as you normally would:)

Love the agate necklace but I am always drawn to carnelian. It IS really warm. My favorite is the first one. Good job!

Those are just awesome. I LOVE the last one with the wire! Wow! Black is one of my favorite colors too. Love black clothes.

I can't pick a favorite, Kala, they are all so beautiful. I do love the wire-wrapped gemstones...your talent is amazing. Hope you had good luck at the show!

All three are beautiful, but I'm amazed at the work and creativity in making the flower in the first picture.
