Spinner Ring - 2 views

This is a reallyfun ring. It's silver, with a patina added to the main ring. The spinner is hand-forged sterling.

"Sea Lover"

Beautiful, soft mauve stick pearls drape perfectly to embrace a sterling heart frame with a web of garnets, silver and rose quartz inside. A sterling 'clasped heart' catch completes the mood.

"Mists of Avalon"

Three strands of different sizes and shades of gray pearls are held together by a hand-crafted heart created of sterling silver treated with a deep gray patina.

"Perfect Storm"

Silvery stick pearls are graced by a free-form sterling framed web of gray pearls.

"Primitive"

Mother of Pearl is not just sweet anymore! This one is as hot as the tropics. Just for perfection, it ends with a perfect blue paua shell enhanced pendant.

"Southern Nights"

This necklace is composed of various shades of freshwater pearls. It culminates in a pendant of delicate pink shell, surroundes by large glass leaves.

"Stix & Stones"

Barely peach-colored stick pearls and coin pearls come together to make an elegant necklace.

"Pure Hearts"

This lovely freshwater pearl necklace is everything pure and true.

The "heart within a heart" inside the sterling frame is created using freshwater pearls. The clasp is a sterling 'clasped heart'.

"Woman Paua"

I love this one. Peacock stick pearls with a wonderful paua shell pendant. People are drawn to these intense colors.

Frosted Flakes bracelet

This is a gorgeous double strand of corn-flake pearls.

It's all good...

I've finished the May shows and have started making pieces for the Bridgeport, Ca. 4th of July celebration. I look forward to this one all year. We stay in a little town about a half hour away from the show so there's a wonderful demarcation between the day job and our little vacation. Cool, fresh air, silence, stars and absolutely no mosquitoes.

We're in transition. A few months ago we moved an hour away from the place we lived for 14 years and are house-sitting for friends. When this place sells, we're off to start a new life in Oregon. Robert's looking forward to more time to paint, and I am excited about writing, and making jewelry in our new environment. We've waited a long time to be together and create. Now it's happening.

For now, I've a big studio to work in and no one to complain if I hammer all night long. I'm plugging in the Foredom and making some music!
