Opal Earrings II

I quite don't know how and when I was able to find time, between shipping rush orders, doing holiday shopping, and browsing my cook book, to complete this set of drop earrings... Both gemstones are Australian boulder opals with beautiful teal and tan color display. I have set them in custom built frames that also have two gold beads above the frame. Each frame is hallmarked 14K on the back.

Leaf Pendant I


I have been working on a leaf pendant that combines both, organic naturally flowing curves and modern sleek lines. The entire pendant is made of solid 14k yellow gold, and I have given it a very shiny, high polish. I have added the hallmark 14k on the backside, which is even. Up next will be a sterling silver version of this leaf pendant.

Feather Band VI

Market price for gold is currently very high. So, it wasn't easy to put aside some funds to cast this 14k white gold version of my feather band. I have experimented with a new finish befitting the winter and holiday season. I call it my 'frosted finish'. I have achieved it's look by first giving the band a high polish, followed by a thicker brush, one that actually scratches the band. I hope you like it!
