TRIANGLE NECKLACE

I love wearing this rounded triangle necklace. I make in 2 versions, large and smalls. The triangle folds over on itself making it double sided and dimension, like a little sculpture. The larger triangle has a satin finish that enhances its minimal look. The smaller necklace has a high polished finish. It sits right in that little notch at the base of you neck. A great choice with an opened neck blouse or sweater.

BANGLE BRACELETS

To make high quality sterling silver jewelry you need high quality metal smithing tools. Pictured here is one of my favorite tools, a Bill Fretz chasing hammer. I put to use making the silver bangle bracelet sitting on top of it.

SWIRL RING

The jewelry we choose to wear is a reflection of many things: our tastes, our selves, commitments we’ve made, celebrations and memories. What’s your style ? Do you make understated choice most of the time? Are the rings you wear a reflection of a busy life style, uncomplicated and functional?

There are days I like to add a bit of fun and whimsey to the day just for the fun of it. On those days, I head towards an outside the box choice in the accessories I wear. I find myself smiling when I wear my swirl ring,.

JASPER NECKLACE

Red Jasper is one of my favorite earth stones. Some native cultures consider it sacred because it symbolizes the blood of the earth.  Jasper has beautiful lines running through it, sometimes clear or black. I’m so fortunate to have come across a gorgeous string of Red River Jasper beads to create with.

I designed 30 inch long, graduated bead necklace from this string. It goes well with the subdued and rich autumn palette of colors. This necklace slips easily over your head making so easy to wear and is great for a layered with other pieces

LAST DAY OF AUGUST

I can hardly believe it’s the last day of August today. When summer ends shadows are longer, the sun isn’t quite so hot and it sets too early, for my liking. Plant leaves are a heavy dull green color, exhausted from the waves of intense summer heat.

I decided it’s time to start thinking abut putting aside my sea glass jewelry and begin looking toward cooler weather accessories. I’m working on a delicate sterling silver tube set cubic zirconia ring, like the one I’m wearing here. It’s nice to have a bit of sparkle as the days grow shorter.

SEA GLASS RING IN BLUE

Sea Glass rings are the perfect summer jewelry to wear to the beach. Blue beach glass is a special find, this round piece in particular. This hand made, one of a kind sea glass ring has a dots to view under the glass like the ocean floor, and 2 granulated gold balls flanking the bezel set glass. .

Part of my personal collection of sea glass rings.

How To Wear A Statement Necklace

Black is a go to color for silver hair. It’s a good choice for salt and pepper and gray hair too.

I’m wearing one of my handmade jewelry pieces, a sterling silver, bezel set necklace on a black tee shirt. I enjoy the way this longer 19 inch necklace sits at the edge of the neckline and doesn’t pop underneath my shirt.

The sterling silver handmade oval bezel features a dendritic agate. If you look closely at this gorgeous agate, you’ll see all the little crystal like dendrites and some lovely red inclusions too. This stone by nature has micro fissures in it’s surface that are part of it’s character.

 Eye glass frames are an accesory that I considere when choosing jewelry to wear. This pendant necklace is large in size to make a statement and subtle enough color not to overwhelm. Want to see more? You can find more in my online store here.
