SHELLEY Necklace

Watching our little terrapin friend climb up his/her rock and slowly glide down, reminded me of the beautiful Labradorite Nuggets I've been hoarding.

A gorgeous 4-sided faceted twist-shaped drop sits in the centre of this piece, with smaller fancy cut labradorite stones along the chain, all emanating amazing blue flashes. Swarovski Crystal Pearls and Thai Karen Hilltribe Silver (97%) Turtle and Hammered Ring, Crystal Quartz and Fluorite Rondelles complete the Shelley necklace.

It was dusk and the sun was going down fast, so unfortunately I couldn't capture the blue flashes in all the Labradorite stones in one pix, and luckily for me, my son's friends were visiting from overseas, so I grabbed hold of one of the gals, who very patiently turned this way and that for a few pixs.
She modelled a couple more necklaces for me, and I was so touched she loved this one, and the dear hubby got it for her :)

FRAN - Custom

In FRAN, all the stones used here are Fluorite, which is a huge fave of mine because of its rich bouquet of brilliant natural colours ranging from deep purple to greens and blues plus its glassy lustre, which is just so magical.

Its range of colours worked so well in this necklace, using them in the various shapes of faceted rondelles, smooth coins and the loveliest lily-pad ones (abt. 2 cm dia.), which are solid and puffy, and cut on both sides.

A Dragonfly (Thai Hilltribe Silver) hovering around the lily-pads playfully adds whimsy to this piece, and the layers of textured chains look like little ripples of water in a serene pond. Measures 30 in., and closes with a lobster clasp.

(Not a good day for photography, as its starting to drizzle, and this is the best I could do with this pix).

RAIN - Sold

Listening to too much Creedence Clearwater Revival these days, and this is how the weather has been the last few days. The plants aren't complaining though :)))

All the colours of blue skies with white clouds, slowly turning to grey, then refreshing raindrops as depicted in these pretty gemmies of faceted MOONSTONES, APATITE, shaded IOLITE & AMETHYST rondelles, which are laced atop smooth polished pear FLUORITE briolettes which are a very lilac to clear colour.

These ear-rings hang at a gentle drop of approx. 1 inch without the ear-hooks. Handmade 925 silver headpins & ear-hooks. All accents are 925 silver.
