Etched Snowflake Earrings in time for the holidays!

I wanted to produce a few holiday pieces and I love how these turned out!



Handcut sterling silver discs have been etched with a beautiful snowflake design and oxidized to bring out the detail.
Dangling from each, a delicately wrapped sparkly Aqua Apatite faceted pear briolette.



...I'm really loving silver etching :):)

Hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day!

I have been relaxing all weekend, stuffed with delicious chocolates from the boyfriend! What a good guy!
I have finally gotten around to working on some photo's and was able to list my Rhodonite necklace.
I don't generally bead, but I love the color of these and had a wanted to make a something with a southwest feel.
Hope I did good with that!


The pendant was a little idea I had using some silver scraps. Each pebble meticulously soldered onto the sterling silver washer. It was then oxidized and then polished to a high shine :)

Sterling Stamped Cirles with Amethyst Briolettes

1/2" sterling silver circles have been hand stamped with a cute little scroll design. I have added AA Amethyst Briolettes, each dangling from hand forged sterling silver ear wires.
Sterling components were tumbled to give strength, durability and shine.

Earrings measure : Approximately 1-1/4"

Ametrine and Sterling Dangle Earrings

I have to admit, these stones are so pretty and sparkle so, I almost don't want to part with them! Very faceted, shiny and sparkly!
Beautiful clear quality Ametrine faceted wheels measuring on average 7x5 mm are alternated with wonderful sterling silver saucers.
Ear wires are handcrafted from sterling silver wire and tumbled to give strength, durability and a high polish.
