BTW did a set with earrings too

As with the earlier post of aventurine necklace, i actually did the earrings first. The original design was from a craft book i saw once, that had 3 drops per earring, but that was waaaay to much. Plus it would be too heavy to be comfortable for long wear.

Aventurine necklace - copper






Didn't know what the results would be like, until the final product was finished. I'm quite pleased with it, the warm copper color and apple green aventurine was a great combination. I used peach colored fresh water pearls, swarovksi crystals and amethyst to add a slight hint of contrast.

(photos look horrible, need help)

More Pendants - large wire flower

Measuring slightly below 3 inches each, I wanted to create a larger flower pendant rather than the smaller ones I used to do. These were done one day when i was staring at my 20ga wires. I'll probably make more and have it up for sale on both TrinketTrove.etsy.com and at the Trinket Trove space at Offline Blogshop in Sunway Pyramid by early Feb 2011.

Daisy Pendant


Spent some time away from pliers, wires and beads to work on some other projects. Although I did have some accessories made last month , I just didn't manage to find the time to snap photos and upload them.

This daisy pendant with the Azurite stone in the middle is made of sterling silver wires. The petals were created using pliers and though they don't look identical, that adds to the charm of this piece. I sold this shortly after creating it. I hope the new owner loves it as much as I had fun making it.

Had some good comments on similar pendants using other stones such as amethyst, glass beads, and just spiraled wire. Young ladies generally liked them and thought they were 'sweet'.

They were fairly simple to make, mostly taking 5 to 10 minutes per flower, depending on the stiffness of the wires used. I would do them when I had not much ideas of what else to create. Guess time spent making them also helped to inspire other designs.
