Join the Jewelry Giveaway: Mixed Metal Pearl Earrings

I purchased some copper washers awhile ago and wanted to make some mixed metal link earrings.  This pair is what resulted!  I added an ivory, cultured pearl drop as a striking contrast to soften the look of the hard, textured metals. 

These casual earrings have several articulation points for maximum movement.  They will twist and turn to catch the light.  Even though the repeating pattern is one of circles, the earrings are quite long and linear, too.  They measure about 2-1/4 inches from the top bend of the earwire.  All sterling silver and copper!  If left unpolished the copper will age to a warm patina over time.

This is a limited edition of just 5 pair - so you will not see anyone else wearing these!  The pair for the giveaway is No. 1.  They are hand engraved by the artist (me) and numbered on the back side.  The other pairs will be for sale in my Etsy shop, Coil and Flame...just in case you fall in love with these and don't win them!

This giveaway is open to adult U.S. residents only, and ends on Monday, July 14th.  Be sure to check back daily for the most chances to win!  Just enter through Rafflecopter below.

Cross Pendant: A Gift...

One of the nice things about being a jewelry designer is that you can make one-of-a-kind gifts for family and friends.  And so, this is how this cross pendant design was created. 

Originally, it started out as a very simple and plain sterling silver cross with just the texture.  But I think the final piece turned out much more interesting.  Can you find all three of the Christian symbols?  One of them is partially hidden on the bail.

The sterling silver is attached with cold connection rivets to the copper piece.  The sawing, filing, fitting, and detailed work took MANY labor hours!

I'm happy my mom liked it.  Otherwise, it would have been for sale in my Etsy shop!

The Magic of Dichroic Glass

I've had a fascination lately with the chameleon color and ever-changing sparkle of dichroic glass -- so much so that I've created a series of "Cosmic Glitter" pendants and rings to celebrate the magic!

All backed in sterling silver and set in fine silver bezels...  All numbered and signed by the artist (me!) on the back side...

Dichroic glass is created by fusing small bits of colored glass and metallic oxides to a clear or black base of glass inside a kiln. The applications range from cabochons, to beads, to large pieces of glass art.

Everyone should have a little piece of this sparkly magic for their very own to wear!  Each piece is versatile and often picks up the colors in your wardrobe for a splash of neon color and a very coordinated look.  And all of them look spectacular with black! 

Maybe a gift for someone special, or a treat for yourself?  Enjoy!

Choose your Turquoise Stone...I'll Make Your Ring!

I'm so excited about this design!  The gorgeous prototype belongs to my sister-in-law.  She chose the turquoise cabochon from my collection, and I made this cocktail ring in her size.  The half-dome band is so comfortable, and while the ring is larger in size, still so comfortable to wear.  Drop by my Etsy shop, Coil and Flame, and choose your stone for a unique, one-of-a-kind ring!

Until next time,

~Dana
