Mother's Day Bracelet

The center piece of this bracelet is a tagua nut, smoothed to perfection! The etching is done by computer with a laser - truly an amazing process, and so detailed. The beads are Czech glass and porcelain, with a lobster clasp. Consigned by a mother for her daughter who was [almost] born on Mother's Day.

Green Apple Martini Necklace

Green Apple Martini
This piece was made for a beading challenge. The only rule was to use the focal piece, the bronze filigree at the center of this necklace, and to keep it a secret until the judging was final. Although this necklace did not win the challenge, I had a great time working and reworking the final design.
Materials: Copper and bronze seed and cylinder beads, bronze metal chain and toggle clasp, green apple howlite nuggets, Amethyst Swarovski crystals.
Price: $55
