These chunky, bold earrings make a statement and will get you many compliments! The dangles feature a blend of turquoise and coral beads and little brass charms, wrapped with 22 gauge brass wire. The ear hooks are handcrafted by me from 18 gauge brass wire and make these earrings even more unique. They are true one (or two ;-)-of-a-kind pieces! http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=579046 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 08:18:38 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=578932 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=578932"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/6804_product_510499044_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> White glass beads, metal beads, brass wire and a frosted blue eye bead came together in this beautiful bracelet. The bracelet could be given as a gift to a bride, so she carries something blue, as a sign of loyalty, with her on her wedding day. All wire links and the clasp are handcrafted by me with 18 gauge brass wire. But the blue eye bead was chosen with a second thought in mind.Eye beads can bring peace of mind, ward off evil, expel bad luck and bring good fortune to its wearer. More recently, their meaning has expanded to include the cultivation of positive thoughts and happiness, too. So this bracelet cannot only be worn by a bride, but also as a good luck talisman for anyone else. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=578932 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:59:00 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=578901 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=578901"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/6804_product_1103722308_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This copper and cobalt blue spiral rope necklace features a polymer clay pendant from Jewelry by Jeannie. The spiral rope was designed exclusively for this pendant to showcase it perfectly. To make it an even more unique neckpiece, I handcrafted an s-hook clasp from 18 gauge copper wire with a blue cut bead in the middle.

You can see in the pictures why it is called by this name. Normally tri leg chains are worn twisted to show their texture. This necklace features three shades of blue around a white core. I used size 11 seedbeads and a button & loop closure to make it look traditional. Tri leg chain is a technique invented by the tribes in Southern Africa, where great beadwork artists can be found and beadwork has a big cultural meaning. The necklace is approx. 42cm/18" long and is a part of my African Collection. See my complete African collection on http://kokopelli.blogmonster.de.
