Hematite set.


I was working with some memory wire I picked up at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show, and realized hematite may not be the best beads to use. They are danged heavy. I didn't want to use a clasp with the memory wire, but I liked how it kept the nice round shape for a choker.

So I cut it another round longer and added some chain with a few more beads attached. Problem solved! And the best part? the choker is totally adjustable to ANY size neck. I also like how the chain and beads give it a little extra focal point.

I also made earrings, a ring and bracelet to go with it. I'd post pictures of the bracelet and ring on me, but realized the picture looks AWFUL. So I'll just post a picture of the set.

Batch 'o earrings.































In a fit of boredom I made earrings. Simple, easy, and quick. They are currently collecting dust.

I had an idea back in March, and just didn't know how to execute it. I like how it turned out, but realized there is no way it can be worn as jewelry because the barbs are way too sharp.

Sorry the one photo is so washed out, I just wanted to be able to show the scale of it.

Earrings. Recycle!


To match the necklace. The picks are punched from laundry detergent bottles.
