This necklace with pendant follows along the design line I was working on back at the end of April. This is a natural amethyst and quartz druzy bezeled in fine silver with an 8mm amethyst cabochon. The hammered silver curves around the stone and forms the loop bail. The bail easily slides over the small faceted amethyst beads.
This sterling silver pendant is file carved with a brushed finish. The Peruvian opal is bezeled in fine silver and a freshwater pearl dangles belong. A large sterling bail slides effortlessly over a necklace of amazonite and freshwater pearl beads. This pendant is also versatile as it comes off of the beaded necklace and can be worn on a silver chain or wear the beads alone.
These sterling silver earrings were designed to compliment the opal necklace. 5x7mm turquoise cabochons are set in the file carved, brushed silver face.
Another idea I've wanted to explore is creating my double dome beads and featuring them singly on sterling silver cables. Here are a couple I've just finished.
This is 1 inch diameter and features stamped squiggles & dots that are liver of sulphured and then brushed.
This is 1 1/2 inch diameter with varying sized holes pierced through.
I made another double dome bead with stamped flower silhouettes on both sides and decided to string it on an amber nugget necklace.
Similar to past necklaces, I made a fun flower clasp to complete the look.
And... last but not least, this flower is a new belt buckle. It's made of 18g and 20g sterling silver. Just need to go to the leather guy and get a belt made!
