Leafy Blue Thingy


As someone who often gets called an artist for the type of work that we do, we often end up thinking that we should be naming the jewelry. That is the hardest part of the design and crafting and obviously I'm not working that hard at coming up with a name for this.

The actual neck piece is has a front close with a clasp that is hidden by the tassels. The construction is copper with Czech glass beads. It started out as a simple project just to experiment with twisting beads onto wire and it evolved into a rather complex leaf like construction on one side and a double strand of beads on the other. The entire form is supported by 18 gauge copper so that there is little movement in the piece. The earrings are based on the tassel idea and have sterling ear wires. The bracelet was a throw together of leftovers just for the heck of it.

The neck piece and earrings are for sale on our web as a set and the bracelet will also be for sale as a separate item.

Cheers,
Cynthia
