The Flowers in the Rocks Necklace

This is my newest etsy listing, please let me know what you think.

This is a beautiful necklace that has so many different colors captured in the "rocks", that it will go with any outfit.

The jasper beads are even more beautiful up close!

This necklace is made with jasper rounds that are linked individually through wire wrapping each one. The clasp is an incredibly beautiful silver flower toggle that is so gorgeous it could be the centerpiece on its own. The aventurine flower pendant is just incredible and tops off this amazing necklace. Stunning!

Pink and Bronze Necklace

This is my newest etsy listing;

I love this necklace and made it while thinking of my daughter, which of course makes it even more special to me. I was never a girl who was into pink until I meet my daughter and she changed all that (among so many other things).

The necklace is strung with swarovski bicone crystals in an incredible deep pink color along with bronze bead spacers, all on bronze beading wire. However the pendant is the pièce de résistance, made with blended pink and beige polymer clay. The main part is a square with a flower shape cut out. It was then stamped with a phrase and flowers, then I baked it. This is the phrase that can be partially seen.

****Some people come into our lives and quietly stay. Others stay for a while, leaving footprints in our hearts and we are never the same.****

I then went over that with gold paint to bring out the saying. It was then sealed to protect the paint. There is a small polymer clay bead in the center that is hanging from a twirling piece of bronze wire. This piece will not just highlight an outfit, it will make your outfit!

Sand and Sea Bracelet

My newest etsy listing;

I love the beach and the water and this bracelet was made with that in mind. There is nothing more beautiful or more powerful than the sea and nothing represents relaxation more than sand. Who wouldn't want the best of both these worlds on your wrist?

I made two of the beads out of tan and white polymer clay adding just a touch of sparkle so it reminds one of the sand. The largest bead was made of various blues and whites, swirled into chaos just like the sea often appears to be. The rest of the bracelet has white bone swirl rounds, jasper rounds, silver spacers, and heishi pearl shell spacers to compliment the sea and sand theme. The clasp, a silver flower toggle, is a show piece all its own.

This bracelet is about 7 1/2 inches long.
