I've been working hard to catch up on some custom orders, plus create some new pieces, and today I finally have some things to share...
Another big round labradorite ring
I've been wanting to experiment more with non-shiny finishes lately; partly because I find them more visually interesting, and partly because it's a pain in the butt to get a perfect mirror finish on everything I make! I like the way this turned out.
I'm not sure about this one. It's a beautiful, large smoky quartz cab, but something is missing... I'm going to try oxidizing it and polishing it to bring out the texture of the band and see if that helps.
Another Caribbean blue moonstone ring (rainbow moonstone over a thin layer of blue resin); this one is spoken for but I made another similar one to list in
my shop.
Afghan tourmaline & sterling silver ring
Gem chrysocolla & sterling silver ring
...and another view of the same.
Custom order cushion cut labradorite & sterling silver ring
Dangly chrysoprase & oxidized sterling silver earrings
...and another view of the same.
Chrysoprase & oxidized sterling silver bracelet with chyrsoprase, labradorite, & Thai silver danglies.
...and another view of the same. Bot the earrings and bracelet above were inspired by
this necklace; I just love the contrast between the blackened silver and the glowy chrysoprase.
I made this one yesterday - the pendant is blue tourmaline and rainbow moonstone, and the necklace is vessonite. I'm not sure how I feel about this one... the color combo with the necklace stones worked in my studio light last night but in daylight, not so much. I think I might just put it on a simple sterling silver chain instead. Also, the larger blue tourmaline got a little chipped as I was setting it (argh!), so it may be gifted to someone instead of sold. Frustrating!
This is a custom order vegan 'pearl' bracelet, made to match this necklace.
