Silver & Hematite Memory Choker


Today I posted & SOLD this gorgeous silver & hematite necklace. I got the pendant from a little town in Mexico, and I absolutely loved it. Once again the silver bead caps really finish the necklace perfectly.

I love the way this turned out! It's a Swarovski pendant on memory wire, with Swarovski accent beads, and silver filigree beads, and it's great! :)

Green Leaf Necklace


This is a really pretty piece I created with a leaf similar to the peach leaf earlier. I used square gold filled beads and sea green seed beads. The colors are gorgeous, it's a delicate necklace inexpensive enough to wear casually, but made of quality. I love how the leaf fits perfect in the hollow of your neck, it's just perfect for spring and all the blooming trees outside definitely inspired me.

Peach Leaf Necklace

SOLD!
This is a memory necklace I made almost entirely out of supplies I got in my recent big buy. Copper seed beads, peach freshwater pearls, peach & brown fire polished Czech faceted beads, and I love the color of the leaf. It's delicate and definitely one of my favorite creations. It's almost easy to create something beautiful when you're using quality materials. It still takes me hours, but it's more pleasant when I don't have to fight the materials to bring something beautiful out of them.

Purple Maui Shell Necklace


Today I posted a necklace I made just after coming back from Maui. It's a shiny purple shell edged with gold, and the purple freshwater pearls match exactly. I also used bicone crackle beads that add shimmer and color.

Gorgeous Green Dragonfly Memory Necklace

SOLD
Last night I created the amazing green dragonfly necklace. It's made with memory wire, which I love for how comfortably and easy to use it is. It's wire in the shape of a circle that keeps it's circle shape no matter how much you use it, and you just place it around your neck, and it fits comfortably around your neck. No clasp, no worry, just a choker that fits any size. And the pendant is from Jones New York, something I picked up a few years ago. I finally found perfectly matching beads and a design that works. I Love This Piece.

Blue Teardrop Necklace



I just posted a gorgeous blue teardrop necklace I created recently. I used rice pearls I got in Maui (Maui is full of great jewelry and supplies), and the new silver bead caps look great! They really give a feeling of elegance and finish to the necklace.

Etsy

A friend of mine uses Etsy.com to sell her handmade jewelry, and after looking the site over for the last few days, I'm really excited about it. It's an online marketplace made up entirely of artists selling their own handmade goods, and people selling their supplies to those artists. The percentage etsy takes from each sale is half what ebay.com takes, and the initial charge is extremely low. The sense of community is Very strong, and I just have a really good feeling about the site. I think I'm going to post a necklace to sell and see how it goes.
