My very close friend, Angie Weldon, and I spent last Saturday afternoon making ribbon necklaces inspired by an Anthropologie "Power of 3" (Trinity) necklace.  We used beautiful, faceted shell pearls I found on Etsy and paired it with faceted crystal quartz beads.  We also made simple earrings to match. They'll look great with sweaters, dresses or even just a simple white blouse and dark denim jeans.  I love how they turned out so much, I just may have to make some to sell in the near future!

My First Attempt at Oxidizing Silver

Here are the results of my first attempt at oxidizing sterling silver earrings with liver of sulfur. The process was easier and went much smoother than expected. I had purchased liver of sulfur over a year ago and just never took the time to experiment, because I thought the process would be complicated. I absolutely love the steel gray tone of the oxidized silver, and can't wait to create more jewelry!

This bracelet is created with swirl-cut smoky quartz beads, crystals and freshwater pearls. I also created one, similar in design, using bronzite and gold vermeil beads.

This colorful Swarovski crystal bracelet is accented with gold vermeil beads and sterling silver twisted rings. I completed two other multi-crystal bracelets, which both feature Bali silver.

My Brother's Wedding

Miracle of miracles, my older brother, Aaron, who will be turning 50 in December (he'll love that I'm posting that), got married for the first time on October 4th. His new wife and my new sister-in-law, Deann, is a wonderful person who has truly brought added love, happiness, warmth and light to our family.

I had the honor of designing her wedding jewelry for her. I created a Teardrop Swarovski Crystal and Pearl Necklace, Crystal and Pearl Cascade Earrings and a Crystal and Pearl Tiara Comb to match.

The wedding was held at The Stanley House, a historic bed and breakfast inn located in downtown Marietta, which is full of charm and character.
