Spring Has Sprung (well, almost)

Spring doesn't officially start until Friday, March 20, but I couldn't resist showing you a few items from my "Spring Collection".

The "Coral Blossom and Pearl Necklace" is one of my new favorites. Coral is such a wonderful color and a great color on so many women. This necklace has a vintage feel to it yet feels contemporary as well. I used vintage gold leaf charms and accented them with white fresh water pearls. I created the pendant using coral tear drops and wire wrapped them together.

And of course I had to use some angelskin coral beads to complete my new Spring Collection. The "Peach Angelskin Coral Bead Hoops"are elegant and classic due to their hoop shape. I used faceted peach quartz briolettes in the center of the earring, which are the identical color to the angelskin coral beads. 14k gold filled ear wires.

My new favorite necklace obviously has to have some fantastic earrings to go with it, so I designed these, "Vintage Coral Flower and Pearl Post Earrings". I used vintage coral resin flowers, 14k gold filled chain, tiny seed pearls and a single 4mm pearl to complete the design. Don't you just love them?

"Genuine Turquoise and Coral Bud Earrings"...simple, light weight earrings that I enjoyed making. I think coral and turquoise are a fabulous combination as you will see from my designs.

"Coral and Turquoise Extravaganza 14k GF Necklace" Double strand necklace of coral tear drops and bright blue turquoise, embellished with tiny angelskin coral beads. Each stone is hand wire wrapped onto 14k embossed gold filled chain.

"Coral Cross Necklace"...I think the cross in this necklace is it from a vendor at a gem show. A very just beautiful. I believe I purchased rich coral color. I have it paired with more of the angelskin coral beads, which I love so much. Each bead is wire wrapped by hand onto 14k gold filled embossed chain.

All Things Yellow!

I am so loving the different colors of YELLOW about everywhere...bright yellow towels, handbags, jewelry, scarves, skirts, shoes--I am truly now ready for spring.

My passion for yellow started a month ago when I first saw a gal carrying a warm yellow handbag, kind of mustard in color. It instantly transformed her jeans and t-shirt outfit into a more classic, pulled-together look. While I am still in search for the perfect yellow handbag for this season, I have managed to create some pretty jewerly for this spring in different shades of yellow...

This is one of my all time favorites primarily because I love fire opal. The gemstone has a unique gold glow to it. I love this necklace worn alone or with a tiny white pearl wire wrapped necklace.

These lovely "Yellow and Copper Pearl Gold Filled Earrings" just sold a couple of days ago. They look fabulous with anything golden yellow or with earth tones. Feminine and classic. 2" long.

For the gal who prefers pastels, these sweet "Yellow Citrine 14K Gold Filled Chain Earrings" are long and dressy but look just as great with a cute top, jeans and heels.

Here's another necklace where I've used fire opal gemstones. The "Desert Flower Amethyst and Fire

Opal Necklace" also includes a large faceted ametrine stone which I've wire wrapped into a pendant. This necklace is very flattering on as the stones have a glow to them.
