MAYFLOWERS

If April showers bring May flowers, then what do Mayflowers bring?  Pilgrims?  How about oooh's and ahhhh's from everyone as they see you wearing this?

Here is another fun and summery piece:  rondelles, drums and short barrels of Mojave lime turquoise, turquoise and howlite act to frame the single nugget of Mojave lime turquoise, which in turn offsets a great 2-inch flower of turquoise and lime howlite hand-wrapped by the artist!  Vintage repro glass art leaves frame tiny Czech art glass flowerets formed by the artist as well, each tiny bud bearing a garnet center. 

Sparked here and there with tiny silver rounds this fresh, one of a kind piece closes with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

Gather together with hermit crabs and crocodiles as the Caribbean winds blow the salty air through the mangrove swamp… and feel one with the atmosphere of Bob Marley’s with this great island-inspired piece around your neck!

ICE BOUQUET

By Any Other Name

Would this necklace by any other name look so nice?  Well, yes, but what’s in a name?  What light through yon window breaks?  Alas, poor Yorik… for he did not have this lovely piece to bestow upon Milady fair!  Double strands of briolettes in genuine rose quartz, crackled crystal, pink candy jade, magenta chalcedony and watermelon candy jade join with green top-drilled freshwater and white coin pearls.  Dangles of pink and white pearls, and glass and pearl flowerets formed by the artist peep from Czech glass leaves, sparked with faceted drops of pink cubic zirconium.  Rondelles of soo chow jade and genuine rose quartz finish this flowery piece, which features a carved genuine rose quartz… well, rose! 

A fantastical piece made of bright scarlet-red graduated shell pearl nuggets, offset by tiny pale blue freshwater pearls and Czech glass spacers, all framing a fantastic dichroic borosilicate lampwork dragon’s head bead by artist Jeff Walsh.  Approximately 18 inches long.

Wear this, and even if you don’t believe…    Others will.

Wanna drag?

Here is a bright and lively necklace that mixes silica of both man-made and natural origins!  Large nuggets of genuine, raw amethyst are flanked by dichroic art glass beads.  (Dichroic glass bears precious metals, which gives it a rich and shimmering glow; these beads bear silver foil.)  Rondelles of purple and mojave lime turquoise (permanently dyed Sleeping Beauty turquoise) join with rondelles of the natural variety, along with tiny sterling silver rounds.

Double Duty

It’s two – two – two necklaces in one!

Turquoise is never out of style – and here style is updated!  Hanging in front are two strands of genuine turquoise chips, groups of which are separated by chips of genuine rainbow calsilica.  Demanding their share of the attention are five light n’ lovely smoky quartz rondelles, flanked on each side by genuine peridot heishi.  Closing with a single strand of turquoise and calsilica, this necklace ends in a sterling silver J-clasp.

And it’s shaped like flowers!
