Fun with Angles

I'm having a lot of fun using my new/old dress form and different camera angles...what do you think?

A design of colored fresh water pearls, mother of pearls, shell and antique brass beads intertwined at various levels on antique brass chains, resulting in a triple chained adjustable length necklace. $60




Coupled with another fun necklace: I layered lots of antiue brass and a few antiqued copper pieces to create this unique necklace. Swarovski Crystals and Glass Pearls accent some of the focal points. It is very light weight and is adjustable in length for your neckline. I love the double link antique brass chain too! $45






I will be very interested to hear what you think about this design. I took different silver tone chains, large, matted, oblong, round and small. I added white ribbon and white cords along with Sari Silk in a shimmering silver hue. (The Sari silk fabric scraps in the design were once on the cutting room floor in a factory half way around the world. Instead of being thrown out, they are sewn together by women in Nepal and India, which provides those women with a way to make a sustainable living in otherwise poverty stricken conditions.) This is considered a Fair Trade Fabric Design. I braided the three groupings together and finished it up with a matted silver chain that measures 28 inches. It is adjustable for your neckline so wear it short or long.
$42

Either way, let me know what you think!





Huge Fresh Water Baroque White Pearls, individually wire wrapped in the rosary design. Accented with AB crystals, teardrop and bicone shape that picks up all the colors and simply shimmers with them. Wish you could see them! A beautiful silver chain adds more class to the design. Adjustable for your neckline but average is 18". $38


Antique silver links and chains of different shapes are surrounded by lovely glass pearls. Each one is individually wire wrapped for security. The necklace measures 24 inches and has colors of shimmery blues, fushias, greens and silver "Cherries Jublilee"!
$32

Different hues of gold and antique gold chain accent the rich color of these glass pearl beads. Another style in the “Black Eyed Pea” collection of glass pearls; shades of light and medium cream, black, brown, two-tone black and brown, off white, mocha, bronze in 12mm, 10mm, 8mm and 6mm in size. Each pearl is wire wrapped onto the individual chain. The necklace measures a little over 27 inches. The earrings are part of the set.
