Winter Flower necklace

Last month I bought some beautiful apatite faceted rondelle beads. They are a lovely neon blue colour and I have teamed them with a delicate blue aquamarine to make this Winter Flower necklace.

WINTER FLOWER

Apatite & Aquamarine Sterling Silver Double Petal Wire Flower Necklace

You may recognise the 'double petal' design from my Autumn Flower necklace I made last October with different shades of carnelian. This time I chose a winter themed colour palette. I am already planning a Spring Flower necklace – what colours do you think I should use for that one?

Green green green - my first Etsy Treasury

I woke up this morning to spring rain which is a bit of a shame as we have been having some beautiful sunny days recently. However, when I looked out of my window I was blown away by all the different shades of green I could see. So when I managed to get my first ever Etsy Treasury and had to choose a title, the first thing that came into my head was 'Green green green'. Not the most inspiring title I know but I have selected some beautiful items.

Spring Sparkles - the perfect background

What a beautiful spring day we have just had. The sun shone all day and I couldn't resist getting out in the garden with my latest jewellery pieces in search of different backgrounds for my photos.

A tub of daffodils proved to be the perfect backdrop for my Spring Sparkles Earrings - the brilliant bright green of the daffodil stems really brings out the green in the peridot rondelles and the sunshine made the earrings sparkle and shine.
