Week 15-Bronze and Turquoise Earrings



I finally had a chance to sit down and actually make something with my supply of bronze wire. The lacy edging on these earrings was inspired by Yati Salem. The brios and dangles are turquoise and they're topped with a 4mm pearl. I haven't added a patina to these but I kind of like this wire shiny.

Week 15-Surprise-More Earrings




Since I'm already overrun with earrings, I naturally decided to make more. My friend, Deborah Gray-Wurz, procured some gorgeous pyrite briolettes for me and I used them in the first pair of earrings. I also added gems in shades of purple and violet including tanzanite, amethyst and iolite.

The second pair is olive jade with cascades of green vessuvianite, blue aquamarine and some some keishi pearls thrown into the mix.

Week 15-Key #3


I'm still on my key kick trying to decide which one would be the easiest to recreate as I'd like to do a tutorial on one. I still have one more on the drawing board. This one is a bit bigger, 2 3/8" long and 1 5/16" wide. The stones are green mystic quartz and garnet.
