peridot

Here are a couple of new things that I have been working on this week.

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.

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.
