YOJ09-52 Marquise Series: Pendant 6 – Dianne Karg Baron
Marquise Series: Pendant 6 (2009)
Sterling silver, ribbon
Constructed, cold-joined
L 9.8 cm x W 3.4 cm/Ribbon: L 52 cm x W 3.0 cm
My ex-husband used to say “Go Big or Stay Home”, so I’m finishing off
the Year of Jewelry 2009 with a super-sized version of the Marquise
Pendant. This started off as an experiment to see if the basic
marquise shape would translate to a bangle, but I haven’t worked out
the kinks to that yet.
I also decided to give the ribbon necklace another try, although
again, it’s technically uneconomic to make. Ah well, I wanted to
finish up the year in style! LOL
More photos and other pieces in this series can be seen on my blog, a wrapturous blog. Comments are always welcome! I wish you and those close to you a very Happy New Year, filled with
enough challenge to keep you interested, and enough joy to keep you
inspired! Thanks for looking!
Secret Santa Gift – Wk 52
And my final creation for 2009 is a banner wrapped piece of beach glass for my Secret Santa. This was sooooo fun…I can't wait to tackle YOJ 2010! Happy New Year everybody!!!
Week 52-Woven and Braided Necklace
I can finally post this. This was made as part of a Christmas exchange between three of us so I had to sit on it until after the 25th. It's two 18 gauge wires woven together and then woven again into a braided centerpiece. Whew! I can't believe I made it through a whole year and, although not usually on time, I managed to post something every week. I've really enjoyed participating in YOJ and seeing everyone's creations, and I'm looking forward to 2010.
Turquoise Bangle
I never really like reading anything as to how to make an item. =d Besides the original jewelry artists didn't have books! =D With the patience of my husband, and my desire to test myself…this is the results! =)
The cab measures 2 7/8" x 1 3/4", and is bezel set. Once the bezel was created, I soldered it to the half round. The stone was set after clean up, and the bangle was shaped.
Thank you for looking,

As a final note, I would like to thank everyone for sharing their talents. All of you have inspired and sparked lots of muses. May 2010 be even better! =)
