New wire jewelry tutorial - Sprial Loop Frames

I am delighted to announce the release of my latest wire jewellery tutorial entitled SPIRAL LOOP FRAMES.

This tutorial is currently for sale at Jewelry Lessons, my Etsy shop and my Folksy shop and costs $5.00/£3.00. Please click on the links for more details of the tutorial.

These are the actual earrings I made as I created the tutorial. You can follow them being made in the step-by-step photographs:

Blue Topaz Sterling Silver Spiral Loop Teardrop Frame Earrings

Using the same techniques as the earrings, the tutorial also has guidance and explanations how to create a pendant like this one:

CRYSTAL PRINCESS

Journey into the Centre

There are two reasons behind the name to this blog post. Firstly, because of the beautiful beads in the centre of each pendant - a stunning faceted amethyst coin bead and a natural aquamarine bead which has a feeling of a mystical world with swirls of coloured mist.

PURPLE LEAF

Amethyst Spiral Loop Leaf Frame Sterling Silver Pendant

And the second meaning behind the name is to do with my recent journey into wirework where I have been making lots of different framed pendants and earrings with spirals and loops surrounding the frame. This time I have ‘journeyed’ into the centre of the frame with loops and spirals and have been inspired to do so by the wonderful wirework of Diny of Natural Jewels whose work I have admired for a long time.

MISTY SWIRLS

Both of these pendants are for sale in my online shops: Etsy and Folksy

Spiral Loop Teardrop Pendant - Variation

Another 'spiral loop frame' pendant with luscious deep pink rhodolite garnet faceted rondelles. Now available in my Folksy and Etsy shops.

Rhodolite Garnet Spiral Loop Teardrop Frame Sterling Silver Pendant

This is a variation of my Sea Maiden Pendant. I am really enjoying exploring and extending this technique/design, trying out variations. This pendant was planned to have a briolette in the centre of the teardrop frame but when I got to that part, I decided I liked it without.

As yet, this pendant has no name - any suggestions?
