Lodalite Butterfly Earrings

Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m happy you found your way here. Today I have a pair of beautiful purple Lodalite earrings with copper. The butterflies lay behind the wire wrapped Lodalite beads. The beads are wrapped using using handmade copper balled headpins. They dangle from the ear wire. Care was made to make sure the butterflies face the opposite directions so they will mirror each other. They are lightweight and they measure about 1/2″ long from the end of the ear wire. They are perfect for day or evening wear. Lodalite is a non-porous stone so the earrings can easily be cleaned with a mild jewelry cleaner. You can purchase these earrings in my secure web web store.  Click here to be taken there. You will be taken to this pair of earrings so you don't have to hunt around for them, but while you are there click on the title of the blog in the upper left corner (Just One More Bead) and it will open the entire site so you can see all of the fun treasures there!

Flowers and Pearls, Earrings

 

Today I have a new pair of earrings to share with you. They were very fun to make. I spent my Saturday out in the garage torching wire to make my own headpins.  Everything on these earrings was handmade except for the pearls, I'm incapable of every accomplishing that!  LOL. They are now available for purchase in my web store.  

SOLD

Sterling Silver and Black Obsidian Earrings

 I wanted to share with you a pair of earrings I made using sterling silver and black Obsidian tube beads. 

These were very fun to make, including the ear wires. This is the first year I've made ear wires. In the past I would just purchase them but I'm trying to make everything that I can by hand.  

You can check these out in my web store by clicking here.

Copper Bracelets

I actually have two to show you. The knotted one that I had been talking about and a daintier one. The daintier one came from using the messed up pieces from making the first one. I'd get the coil backwards or the ends would poke out after hammering. I'd end up with scrap. But being such a scrap user with stamping, I learned to use the scrap copper to make something too.  So, here's the two bracelets. I still need to file any rough spots and then put them in the tumbler for a half hour to smooth out any imperfections and to shine them up!  Then they'll go in my web store.  

I found the patterns to make both of these on YouTube.

Natural Turquoise Inlaid Ring

Today I finished a ring I started before Christmas. I had to keep putting it away due to usage of my workroom and worktables.  All week, except Tuesday I have been working on it and this is the finished results.  I'm okay with it.  It could use some more work but I can't do any more to it because I'm afraid if I sand anymore on it I will be down to the brass in the silver-filled piece.  I had originally started out making a copper one. It is ready for the stone but I decided to jump into some silver.  After completing this one to  where it is, I am going to venture into making one of sterling silver, not silver-filled.  It will cost a lot more but it will be worth it.  And now that I know what I'm doing, it shouldn't take as long to make either. Unless I have to put stuff away every time I get going on it! I need a whole room just for this type of work!

When I started making the ring it was a size 8 and when I finished, it was still a size 8!  I did something right there!!!

This was fun to make and I would like to make some inlaid pendants some time too.  And of course I will share them with you once I've made them.

I will post the copper one once it's done too.

Thank you for taking a look,

Petite Roses Silver Bracelet

I made this fun bracelet using Silver-filled wire for all the soldered links and Sterling Silver wire for the tiny roses.  

It measures 8-1/8" from end to end.  It fits a 7-1/4" wrist.

It can be purchased in my web store.  Check here for more details.

All the links have been soldered, including the jump rings. It's going to be pretty hard to break these links.  

The links are Silver-filled and not silver plated.  Silver plating is very thin and chips or wears off in a short time.

THIS ITEM IS SOLD

Thank you for looking,
