Project in Progress

I am experimenting with blinging out sterling silver beads with rhinestones. These beads will be mixed with wire-wrapped dark indigo Swarovski crystals. Another bracelet inspired by water....of course.

Project in Progress - Morning Dew

The finished bracelet - Morning Dew - Price $520.00

Bead components for the bracelet: Gold plated round rhinestone bead (10mm), gold plated bead with peridot rhinestone band (8mm), wire-wrapped peridot Swarovski crystals, gold stardust bead (6mm).

This is the finished chain with clasp.

My next project will be submitted for the Lynnwood Arts Commission 7th Annual themed art exhibit. The theme this year is "It's Not Easy Being Green". I will also be using it to enter the Fire Mountain Gems 2010 Jewelry Making Contest for Swarovski Elements. The piece uses a gold wire chain which I make by hand. This photo shows the tools and process used to make the chain.
