Eryldene market: detail of jewellery items.
Although attracted by these flat whitish disks with interesting intrusions I hated the presentation where you had to ask for every price and felt alienated by the signage claims.

i have had a jar full of these lying about the house since my kids were little - just out of curiosity i spread them over my epson scanner to see what results it would yield
sold!
Two interwoven strands of fine quality labradorite briolettes mixed with blue sapphire rondelles, with a sterling clasp, 16.75 inches.
The flashing, iridescent grey/blue/green/gold labradorite stones rhyme with the steadfast royal blue of the sapphires. Together these two natural beauties accent a playful, self-assured femininity.
I love this cuff. The Dead Milkmen song "Punk Rock Girl" inspired it. The center of the bracelet is a pewter skull. I've bead embroidered around it with freshwater pearls in peacock, amethyst and lapis lazuli chips, sparkly Swarovski crystals in various colors, pewter stars, and glass seed and bugle beads. The backing is soft ultrasuede, for comfort. Silver slide-lock clasp--very secure. Who says punk rock girls can't be glam?
This necklace was inspired by a vintage Blessed Mary charm- a thrift store find. The charm is wire wrapped with clear quartz crystal, faceted bead and hangs from a vintage brass filigree. Sterling chain is connected with sterling wire wrapped semiprecious gemstones and pearls. The clasp is handmade with 16 gauge sterling wire.
Inscribed on the charm: 'O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee'
Lovely blue-white moonstone briolettes, small and large, with a sterling silver shepard's hook clasp.
At 15.5 inches, this is a collar length necklace that fits closely at the base of the neck. The moonstones do not lay placidly flat, some of them will stand out in a kind of ruffle of flashing moonstone iridescence.

this is just a black and white illustration out of a book of copyright free illustrations of women. i scanned it so i could practice photoshop by coloring it in there. im still playing with it, but my computer is presently dying so my time with it is limited. and id rather work on a 100 other projects...
Necklace fearturing a pendant made from a hand cut portion of an old platter that reminded me of something one of my grandmothers might have used. The recycled platter cutout is riveted to a hand cut piece of brass that is patterned on the reverse side. A vintage photo of a grandmother (not mine) is bezel set in resin. The necklace is made with sterling wire-wrapped pearls semi-precious gemstones and a handmade sterling clasp. Additional detail is shown at my blog cynthiamurraydesign.blogspot.com

Gorgeous slice of raw amethyst crystals, natural jewelry in sterling silver. A really nice slice with a lot of purple.
"Peacock's Dance" is inspired by "Black Peacocks with Japanese Persimmons", an artwork by Jessie Arms Botke, 1940.
In this necklace design, I have tried to capture the intricacy and color palette of the peacock's plume as it dances to the beauty of its surrounding landscape.
Taking hints of gold from the artist’s technique of applying gold to the panel, I have wire-wrapped lapis lazuli and Picasso Czech glass beads on matte gold toned chain with gold toned wire, around a ceramic peacock focal.
While the lapis beads capture the colors of the plume, the Picasso Czech beads with dashes of antique gold merge with the gold tones of the wire-work and chain to enhance the necklace. The dangling teardrop from the peacock focal subtly picks up on the colors of persimmons in the landscape, and depicts the decorative crest atop the peacock’s head.
Technique – wire wrapping
Stringing length – 18 to 19 inches
Pendant dangle length – 2.5 inches
Materials – ceramic pendant focal; polymer clay teardrop headpin; matte gold toned chain; gold toned wire; lapis lazuli round beads; Picasso Czech oval beads; lobster clasp

Peacock focal – handmade by Nancy Schindler (round rabbit extra)
Teardrop headpin – handmade by Heather Powers (humblebeads)

Frozen Water Collection
This is a jewel of a bracelet inspired by the icy colours of the winter landscape. The subtle colour scheme (clear/blue/silver) is soft and feminine. This comfortable bracelet is suitable for any occasion.
Irradiated quartz tubes alive with rainbow fire and moonstone glowing with alluring blue light, are the feature stones in this bracelet. I purposely selected quartz with internal fractures to allow a lovely play of colours. Adding sparkle to the shiny gemstones is a scattering of faceted alexandrite bicone swarovski crystals. Alexandrite is a unique colour that is violet under incandescent light and sunlight, but turns a lovely light blue under fluorescent light - tricky to photograph. Silver heishi and disc spacers separate the gemstones, and matte silver rounds add a brushed texture.
I finished this bracelet with handmade sterling silver Jens Pind chainmaille to add a unique texture, and also to protect the gemstones from the function of the toggle clasp, which features a spiral. All stones are genuine and all silver is .925 sterling silver. 7-3/4" in length. (Can be shortened to a minimum length of approximately 6-3/4" by removing the chainmaille links - free of charge.)
An original, one of a kind creation.
Crystal Quartz is an energy amplifier and powerful healer. It acts as a deep soul cleanser, and has been prized for millennia as a worker of magic. Moonstone is traditionally a woman's stone, and helps the wearer to embody the goddess. It reminds you that everything is part of a cycle of change.
I am a Reiki practitioner and I channel this universal energy into every piece I make so that it is full of unconditional love and cleansed of any negative energy.

My signature Bird's Nest Ring in brass, with robin's eggs (blue jasper). These have gotten more and more popular on my Etsy site, probably because it's springtime and people are thinking about nature. I love the blue jasper eggs--they look so much like real robin's eggs, right down to the natural speckling!
Other versions of this ring are also available--freshwater pearl eggs, opalite eggs, sterling silver wire, etc.
