The Christmas Crunch
I have been busily working away, configuring bezels into finished pieces of jewelry.  With a slight technical hiccup (don't ever buy printer ink from those companies that refill cartridges), I have been been making some pieces that use up some of the beads, pearls, and crystals that I had on hand.  However, I have several pieces that I have not photographed.  Look for a plethora of pictures to follow.


Fine antiqued copper chain with a triple pearl drop.
Accents of sage and garnet crystals.

Steampunk koi porthole necklace.
Antiqued brass findings, delicate chain.

Bracelets

Bracelets


One of the earliest bezels I made, using UTTE powder. As a
horse lover, much of my focus has been on equine designs.



A swallow caught midflight in a silver bezel. Antiqued brass chain
with freshwater pearl and crystal drop.



Silver plate 5 bezel series of a horse jumping.




Two delicate silver bezels surrounding freshwater pearl.
The images are tiny horse heads, facing towards the pearl.



A second bracelet featuring small silver bezels and horse heads.
The bezels flank a freshwater pearl.





Brass porthole featuring a koi swimming on an
aqua background. The chain is antiqued brass.



Another piece right before the first layer of resin is poured.
