I finished making this ring on Saturday. The blue stone is Amazonite which is one of my favorite gemstones. The substantial ring shank has a hammered finish. The bezel has a scalloped edge. It’s a fun, yet elegant, chunky cocktail ring that would look great with an evening gown or jeans. Look for it in my Etsy store soon!

Here are a couple of new things that I have been working on this week.
Sterling silver & copper wire-wrapped Amazonite rings (click for larger view)
I love the look of a chunky, gemstone cocktail ring and have made two wire-wrapped rings with faceted Amazonite stones. On one, I used 18 gauge copper wire which will patina over time, and I made the other one with 20 gauge sterling silver wire.
Sterling silver & Swarovski crystal earrings (click for larger view)
I made these earrings by wrapping sterling silver wire into a herringbone pattern around peacock-blue Swarovski crystals and added smaller peridot Swarovski crystal dangles as an accent. Peacock colors are a big Fall fashion trend this year. The color combinations are so rich and exotic! I’m envisioning a night out on the town with a smoldering, smoky eye and these earrings as a strikng accent.
