Coloured Pearls

There is something calm about pearls.  They bring a sense of peace both to those weaving them into a beautiful piece of jewellery and the ultimate recipient of the finished piece of jewellery.  Here is my amber coloured resin, gold, and coloured pearl creation for today.

Spring Colours

I have just had a call from a friend and she insists that I cannot only do black, grey and crystal.  OK OK ... I will look for other colours to inspire me.  I promised her that I would experiment with a "real" colour.  Have a look and tell me whether this is "Spring" enough...would non Melbournians give me the golden tick?

Pearls and crystal in progress - it will be 3 strands with ...

... removable pieces that can be worn as a ring

Fiddling with Pearls

I have been inspired to look at pearls and how they interact with resin and crystal beads in a necklace situation.  The beauty is that the pearls give a "dressed up" feeling to the necklace while the resin and crystal make the necklace at 2010 piece.  Have a look and let me know what you think about this style.

The extra pearl pieces are like the rings of Saturn and can be removed so that the necklace has a more streamlined look for some occassions and a heavier look for others. 

These pearl removable pieces can also be worn as a ring!!

This necklace is super clever - I have attached 3 strands but each can

be removed to create 3 different looks - multifunction necklace for multitasking women.
