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 :)

DEONE Necklace

This necklace was made for a very caring, wonderful Mother of 3 with a very big heart. She never spoils herself, always putting her kids FIRST. As she's been through A LOT in the past few months, I wanted to surprise her with a Mother's Day gift as she is so deserving of it.

I figured her as a person who would feel comfortable wearing timeless, elegant, undertated pieces, and as I wanted to incorporate something from this part of the world, I chose handmade Thai Hilltribe Silver & artisan made fancy Balinese beads to go with the lovely Onyx barrels.

It reached her safely, about a week after Mother's Day, having travelled over the oceans and thousands of miles between us, and I was ever so touched when she sent me a photo of herself wearing it, and not only that, she said that she loved onyx + silver :))))) Yeay !!!

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).
