YOJ09-44 Marquise Series: Earrings 1 – Dianne Karg Baron

Dsc00112 Marquise Series:  Earrings 1
Sterling silver
Constructed, cold-joined
L 5.4 cm x W 1.4 cm

The next logical step from the Bracelet I did for YOJ09-43
was to make a pair of earrings.  I liked the idea of making the earwire
in the same shape as the link – it gives the earring a chain-like look.

Week 44-“Anything” Ring

Anything ringThis is my version of Dale Cougar Armstrong's "Anything" cocktail ring.  These are a lot of fun to make  because they all turn out different.   For this one I used an 8mm lab created stone in the center, a couple of pearls and some silver beads.

Harry Potter’s Wand

  When I saw the theme was for Harry Potter, I thought, "not in a million years will I be inspired by that". On a completely seperate track, my mind was thinking of fairy princess wands:) These two thoughts eventually collided and we have "Harry Potters Wand".

  This is aged brass, labradorite, and fine silver. It measures about 9 inches long.

To showcase the focal I repeated the ruffle around the green coin pearls and amethyst beads. Coiled wire, sterling silver beads and yellow jade were added to the mix. The amethyst clasp is from Jess Imports.

Thank you,
