2015 - Singular necklace

Just one necklace in this post.

Sapphire (white), emerald, pink sapphire.

2015 - Pendant necklaces

Here are some pendant necklaces from 2015.

Rutilated quartz, sunstone, gold-plated silver chain.

Rutilated quartz, citrine, gold-filled chain.

This is a pendant that I bought at retail, as finished jewelry with a chain, then I made a necklace around it to replace the chain. Sterling silver, aquamarine.

2015 - Three pairs earrings

Here are a few earrings from 2015.

Very tiny! aquamarine, pink sapphire, sterling silver.

Rutilated quartz, gold-plated silver chain, 14k gold ear wires. This photo shows green and purple color in the stone, because it reflected from our living room. But really the stones are clear with gold rutiles, as you can see in the next photo.

14k gold ear wires, rutilated quartz, gold-filled chain, 14k gold ear wires.

2013 - Three pairs earrings

The last 3 pairs of earrings that I have in photos from 2013

It's always challenging for me to make smaller earrings. These are smaller than my usual. Sterling silver, pink tourmaline, tourmalinated quartz, and pink sapphire.

These are very tiny but still a cute dangle. 14k gold, tanzanite and moonstone.

These earwires are niobium, which is very non-allergenic and keeps that bright color. Tourmalinated quartz, amethyst, black onyx, sterling silver.

2013 - Three Spring necklaces

The first 3 necklaces from 2013. I have a lot more posts to catch up to current days!

Aquamarine pendant, labradorite, pink sapphire, gold-filled.

Pink Tourmaline, rainbow moonstone, pink sapphire, gold-filled.

Amethyst, pink tourmaline, and gold-filled.

2012 - Different earrings

These are unusual earring designs, and some are a little quirky.

14k gold ear wires, rutilated quartz, vermeil and gold-filled.

Sterling silver, phosphosiderite, garnet, and amethyst.

14k gold ear wires, tourmaline, and vermeil.

Sterling silver, goethite in amethyst, and black onyx.

2012 - Light necklaces

Here are some necklaces with a light feeling.

Aquamarine, Ethiopian opal, 14k gold.

Blue topaz, rainbow moonstone, sterling silver. This looks happy and cool.

Rutilated quartz, gold-filled chain. If you zoom in on the beads you can see that there are gold-colored rutiles in the clear quartz.

Moonstone (peach, white and gray) and sterling silver. This has a very playful feeling.

2012 - Gold earrings

Gold earrings from me always have solid 14k gold ear wires. Sometimes I make earrings that are only 14k gold, but usually there is some vermeil (which is a very thick gold plating over silver) or gold-plated silver, or gold-filled. Gold-filled has more gold than vermeil, and vermeil has more gold than normal gold plating. Gold costs immensely more than silver.

Anyway here are some gold earrings from 2012.

These are tiny earrings. Aquamarine, Ethiopian opal and 14k gold.

These are pretty long. 14k gold wires, turquoise, London blue topaz, and vermeil.

Also these are very long. 14k gold wires, pink tourmaline, pink sapphire, tourmalinated quartz, and vermeil.

14k gold wires, tourmaline, and vermeil.

2012 - Rich necklaces

These necklaces have a rich feeling, even somewhat chunky for the first two.

Aquamarine is always my favorite. Plus vermeil beads and clasp.

Handmade glass, sunstone, vermeil, and tiny tourmaline beads.

Handmade glass, turquoise and vermeil.

Handmade glass, kunzite, aquamarine,  and sterling silver.
