Icicle jewellery

A selection of earrings, plus a necklace and a bracelet, have been added to the shop just this afternoon. These are the Isis earrings, which were inspired by icicles.

Watching Bella

A new pair of earrings was completed while I watched a movie called Bella last night. The Isis uses the same textured hoops as the ones in the Rhonwyn earrings and has a very simple design with rainbow moonstone and snow quartz in graduated sizes. Overall, the earrings appear white, although of course the rainbow moonstones have beautiful blue and yellow-green flashes when light hits them at the right angle. I hope to post the earrings in the shop in the next week or two!

When I wasn't photographing icicles at the lodge...

My trip to Vegas was a lot of fun, but now that I am back I have begun working on some new ideas. One piece is already complete and consists of green apatite chips, faceted moss aquamarine, and faceted smoky quartz. These earrings have been named Nicola and also use flat oval findings that I picked up in Hong Kong in the fall.

In the works are two more pairs of earrings: the Drina will have magnesite, sometimes erroneously called white turquoise, plus peach and orange aventurine, while the Isis will pair rainbow moonstone with snow quartz. The idea for these two designs came to me during my trip, specifically when I was at Bright Angel Lodge during my Grand Canyon excursion, so I can't wait to put them together!
