Year of Jewelry---Week 34 - Life is a Beach
This week's subject is Life is a Beach...
I live in the desert, and yes, it is like a giant beach.. no water, but plenty of sand!
I love the water, grew up loving to swim, loving a beach and loving the way it makes you feel...warm and content with the world.
This is a bought bezel that I thought was cute... and it was on clearance, how can you go wrong? I used a nice paper for the background, covered it in glitter (since glitter makes everything nice) and used some sand for the bottom, some real shells and filled it up with resin.
The 'chain' is made of 6/0, 8/0, 10/0. 11/0, and 15/0 seed beads, done in a cellini spiral.
The clasp is bought... it's Summer, what can I say?

Week 31 - Birthstone of the Month: Peridot
OK, this is getting embarrassing, I didn't do the theme again...
here is what I have for this week, I kind of like it, though I made it with bought materials, I mean the chain and the head pins and the beads,and the spacers...
I know a lot of people complain when a person makes a necklace out of store bought items... Some will say this is not being a jeweler. That's ok... I wanted uniform, and I like the idea of working fast. I figure that is why they made the machine to make the links on a chain... fast... and why on earth would you want to make a chain when you can buy them?
I don't find this to be "cheating"
I find this as being creative.
I saw a necklace something like this somewhere, I don't know where, or if it was an old design, or who made the first version of it, I think it is kind of reminiscent of those old crystal necklaces that my mother wore, but just a little more hip.
lol... ok, here goes...
I used three sizes of gold chain, charlottes in 6/0; 10mm faceted teardrop crystals, rhinestone spacers, 4mm faceted crystal bicones
