Green Amethysts


Be the first to see! I got these beads at the gem show...rare and beautiful natural sage green amethyst tear drops and ceamy coin pearls accented with silver, gold and peridot. It's just phenomenal! I haven't got this onto the website as of right now but will in the next day or 2. This one is going into the premier collection! :)

More


Went back and got more of these pearls they're just too great to pass up! Now I need to make a necklace and earrings to match...:)

These are cream colored, very beautiful keishi pearls.
Here's a definition I found: Keishi pearls are accidents of the pearl's culturing process. They form from oyster mantle that is attached to the mother-of-pearl bead that is inserted into the oyster. Keishi, always irregular in shape, occur in Japanese and South Seas culturing processes. Usually they are silvery, white or black in color; occasionally a fancy colored one is born.

New silver






Had a few minutes to create some pretties last night! Just got some great new silver straight from Thailand and couldn't wait! These are the new bracelet creations using coral, amethyst, and peridot.

Just too gorgeous! Must make more!

I also had an itch to do some wire wrapping. Admittedly I don't do a lot of it because it is very time consuming and time is my most precious commodity! However I love the delicate way it looks and I am sure more of this will be coming. I tend to go through stages in my designs and I feel this one blooming as I speak.
Some earrings to match of course... These pearls are really spectacular! Hope you like them!
