Aspen Leaf Necklace & Earring Set

I live in central Vermont and am inspired by nature. One of my favorite trees is the quaking aspen, which are abundant in my area. I love the sound they make in the wind.

These sterling silver aspen leaves are picking up some great reflections, looks like a fall day in Vermont.

The necklace/pendant has a solid 14K yellow gold bezel set with a pink tourmaline cabochon.

They all have a patina, which I have polished off accept for the veins in the leaves and the bends in the stems.

The set is lightweight and available with or w/o a 16 or 18 inch sterling silver omega chain. Price varies with options.

Second Gear – Is a sterling silver and brass spinner necklace

This necklace is truly awesome! I love how it looks like a mechanical part of some kind.

seconedgear3

I used sterling silver square wire to make the gears, and brass round wire for the rings.

The pendant is all constructed on a sterling silver tube which is flared on each end trapping the pieces onto it.

Each piece moves freely on the tubing, allowing you to fidget and play with it.

The entire pendant is roughly half an inch wide and half an inch high.

Point of Impact- Is Coming Along Nicely, it is Now Going to Have a Rose Cut Rainbow Moonstone

I am trying to figure out how I am going to solder all these pieces together with three solder temps

The only thing missing from this picture is the bail

This is how they fit together

This is almost what it will look like with the addition of a ring for a bail and the hexagon piece of metal will be filed back and shaped

The Bubbly- Is a Sterling Silver and Yellow Rose-cut Diamond Pendant

I thought of making this necklace while I was melting some casting grain into a ball for another project.

thebubbly-1

Just before the grains melt they fuse together but are still granular and right there I decided to make this necklace.

thebubbly-4

I melted a larger ball for the stone and then added some more casting grain, moved it around till I liked how it looked.

thebubbly-2

Then I heated it just till the grain fused together but stopped before I lost the granular composition of the piece.

Hope you enjoy my posts and this wonderful piece of jewelry if you happen to purchase it!
