I fell in love with these gorgeous natural Bluelace Agate, just a wonderful display of all the layers created by mother nature, it doesnt get any better than this....So in order to find something that works, which I failed, so I played around with Sterling Silver wire until I came up with this, similar in size to these square Bluelace Agate, then connected them into a bracelet.Theres one single smooth Blue Chalcedony briollette and a single Blue Chalcedony faceted rondelles dangle at the end of the extension chain.All findings are Sterling Silver. This bracelet can be worn from 7.25 up to 9.

I dont enjoy using treated gemstones, thus one will probably rarely see me using any perfect flawless as some others will emphasize, to me, its just beautiful as long as theyre natural, yet altered into polished or faceted, shaped and formed into interesting shapes... :)Randomly wrapped gemstone beads of carved Aquamarine leaves, Green Tourmaline sticks, smooth glittering Sunstone brio, swirled through with champagned colored Keishi pearls, peach colored seed Pearls, comes to a center focal point of a huge smooth Rose Quartz from Madagascar. All wired up with oxydized Sterling Silver wire.Off balanced, which I think adds to the liveliness of this piece.This piece can be worn from 15 up to 20 inch since I used extension chain at the back and my handmade hook at closure. One single Aquamarine leaf dangles at the back.Feel free to email me with questions! :) http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=749192 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:58:10 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=261743 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=261743"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/3202_product_814055293_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> La Dolce Vita - Sweet Life! That's the name I've given to this piece..... :) My whole vision started when I first laid my eyes on this gorgeous vessel made by my friend Sam of Posh-abilities. She's always been a great artist with seed beads yet, when she started to express herself with glass, it's a whole new world!!! And I love her creativities in glass. This particular vessel was named Magnolia by Sam. Obviously the focal is on the vessel, leads up to 2 pieces of Green Grossular Garnet nuggets, accents with clusters of purple Tourmaline smooth rondelles. I wired sections out of Amethyst ovals, with natural Blue Chalcedony smooth briolettes into flowers, with seed pearls as flower centers. This is an off-balanced piece. But I've matched a perfect smooth Rose Quartz round on the other side. All these sections leads up to a clustered pearls, with natural 12 to 14mm peach colored pearls. All wired with Argentium Sterling Silver wire. This necklace measures at 20", a great length for such prominent piece of jewelry. Closes with a toggle clap and my signature tag. You can fill this vessel with desired perfume or essence oil, the pleasant aroma will carry you all day!

I named these Nymph, because of it's whimpsy, regal, yet mystical appearance..... These earrings started with these gorgeous sterling silver filigree bead. I really wanted to showcase all the great details of these. They reminds me of something old, vintage, antique almost.... a lot of details and depth in these.... Paired it with a knubby Freshwater Pearl drop, cluster of Ruby on Vermeil, then a post and clutch-back vermeil leaf. These dangles at 1.75" (4.5cm). http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=261721
