These earrings are quite large measuring 1 1/2" at the widest point and 2 1/2" long from the top of the ear wire. The bottom half of the triangle has a lightly hammered texture while the top half has a smooth high polish shine. The chain links are hand made and the stones are black spinel, labradorite and moonstone brios.

Sterling Silver Celtic Cuff Bracelet

This was a great project to practice precise soldering. I used two different gauges of wire and it took three stages of soldering. The circles are lightly hammered, and the whole thing was oxidized.

My First Cabochon



This stone is a local jasper, and it's my first attempt at cutting and polishing stone. I think I did pretty good if I do say so myself! (I would have polished a bit more, but it was getting late) It's a large shield shape, about 1 1/2 inches from curve to point. I can't wait to do more!

African Sapphire and Sterling Silver Earrings

Two different styles with the same materials, sterling silver and African sapphires. Both pairs are about 2" long from the top of the earwire.
The sterling "wave" type earrings were hard to photograph, the silver really catches the light as they move.
