I made the necklace about a month ago but I just put the finishing touches on the earrings yesterday.

Made from freshwater pears, moonstone, glass, jasper and found seashells during my last retreat; All findings are silver. Feedback is appreciated! Thanks for looking

My first time doing herringbone wrap and creating my own clasp.




Thanks for looking!

I have been recently turned on to uncut gems and stones. Does anyone know of a reputable supplier? Preferrably wholesale but any leads would be appreciated! Thanks for looking!

I guess it's loosely themed after pirates of the Caribbean but I will never admit that again

This is the fancy shot


and the detail.

I used these as an excuse to practice playing in wire What do you think?

Here's my latest creation - I initially wanted to make a hoop and a threaded earring set but loved the hoop so much I decided to make 2 





It looks a bit smooshed here but I have since pulled it into a nice full circle. I love how playful they are and I can't wait to wear them to hang out. ^_^ They're made of copper, gold filled hooks, glass, wood and jasper, and swarvoski (sp?) crystal beads. Thanks for looking!!

Constructive feedback encouraged

Yes, today was a busy crafting day for me.




Made of all glass, I call this one carnivale. It has a regular lobster claw clasp. Surprisingly, it matches almost everything in my closet





This is my favorite. It ties in the back with hot pink ribbon sewn on with bright orange thread. ha ha - I got the ribbon off a shirt in the donations bin in the den. you know the little part to hang skimpy shirts on the hangers? 

The leaf is carnelian (used for clear thinking. It is said to help balance creativity and mental processing,) the elephant is jade (attract and enhance love of all kinds. It is also a stone of fidelity and generosity. It is also considered to be good for the physical heart and for emotional balance and stability. Jade is also very helpful as a stone of abundance) and quartz (a power stone that harmonizes and balances. It enhances energy and thoughts, and purifies the spiritual, mental, and physical. It is also a powerfully protective stone, bringing the purified energy in.)

This is made of Czech glass beads, copper beads and a jade centerpiece. You can't really tell here, but the turtle is looking over it's shoulder smiling at you  I used a stretchy cord to string it so it would fall very casually and another thing you can't tell is how brilliantly it catches the light. The little glass beads after the white opaque beads are clear on one side and gold filled on the other.

It's my first time using crimp beads and findings (both are sterling silver.)

I'm pretty content with how it came out.  Sorry I'm so long winded... Thanks for looking!

Hello  I bought a string of chipped aquamarine from my local beadshop and I didn't realize what I was getting into. At this point I've been stringing them one at a time. I read somewhere that you can string groups of stone by themselves... does anyone know how to do this or have a more efficient workflow? I'd like to have it done by my trip to the beach next week  Thanks in advance!
