More Copper! (Is that Proper??)

21 07 2009
Alrighty… I seem to be in a copper mood this summer.  Go figure!    I just put these two casual beauties up on the website.
First up is “Pretty in Paisley”…  I love how this one puts me in mind of bohemian chic but, unlike the true thing, in an understated kind of way.  A simplification of the fun and flair for those times when we can’t go over the top!  I am proud of the clasp on this one too – like the necklace, all hand-crafted, but not the typical hook and eye either!

Pretty in Paisley is about 18 1/2 ” long and the paisley itself drops about 1 3/4″ from the ‘chain’.

On to necklace number 2!  I’ve been wanting to do more with this set of letter stamps I bought (because, after all, what fun are tools if you don’t use them??) and, while noodling around with my saw one day (yes, I noodle with my saw – take that as you may!), this emerged!  Sapphires were the obvious choice to accent the copper as sapphires have long been associated with thought.

The necklace adjusts from 17-20″ long and the pendant drops about 2″.  The adjustable bit in the back features a couple more smooth deep blue sapphire droplets to give it a polished look behind you as well.

Hope you enjoyed these!  Check them out in more detail at the website!
