Baby Blue Flower Enamel and Freshwater Pearl Necklace


Yesterday I completed a matching necklace that matches the blue enamel earrings and I love it! I love baby blue and white and the colors in this necklace are perfect for a spring necklace. Scoop neck tee, especially brown, and you'll have a beautiful color combo. This is my all-time favorite necklace. Vintage inspired, each copper flower has been hand sawn from a sheet of copper, shaped into a 3 dimensional flower, enameled with the softest baby blue enamel and wire wrapped with plump white freshwater pearls complete with solid copper chain and secure catch creating the sweetest 17 1/2" necklace.

Blue Copper Enamel Spring Flower Earrings


Sometimes I make a piece of jewelry and I just love it! This is one of those times. These blue enamel earrings look even more beautiful on than they do in the photograph. Sometimes you take a picture of something and you think that it looks so much better in person, and then sometimes you take a picture of something and you think that photo came out really good. I love these earrings and I love the photo of these earrings, but even my teen daughters agree, these earrings looks fabulous on, just fabulous. They are not heavy but the colors and size create a pair of earrings that are sure to get compliments galore.

These earrings have been created from a sheet of copper. Each spring flower has been hand cut with a jeweler's saw, enameled with a pale blue enamel, and hung from handcrafted French style solid copper ear wires. The drop on this pair of earrings is 1 1/2" and diameter is slightly more than 3/4".

Mixed Metals Giraffe Ring


I find it so hard to photograph copper, sometimes the pictures take longer to do than the actual product. :)

This giraffe patterned ring is made from a domed piece of copper which has been acid etched with a giraffe pattern, lightly oxidized, and polished. Both ring base and band are sterling silver with the base having a diameter of 3/4". This ring is size 7 1/2 but can be made any size upon request. Please allow one week if requesting a different size.
