Boho Amazonite Gemstone Bracelet
I was crazy about these small rectangular silver link findings and faceted
Amazonite rondelle beads. I love faceted rondelles!
I thought that together they'd make a nice combination.
I like the way the blue-green Amazonite and the silver compliment each other.

I like the way the blue-green Amazonite and the silver compliment each other.
I decided to alternate them in a design and create a Boho style link bracelet.
I cut 2" pieces of silver wire and using a simple wrapped loop technique, connected the beads and silver links together until I had the bracelet length that I wanted.
Then I simply added a clasp, and it was finished!
I love the end result!

Wire Wrapped Peace Sign Necklace
When I put the photo below up on my facebook page
Friday night, I entitled it "The Friday Night Special!"
I was playing with some fine gauge sterling silver wire before you know it, the peace sign appeared! ...I had some beads in mind that I had been in the mood to work with - mainly the small rainbow moonstones on the right. I decided to add just 2 or 3 of them to the pendant as accents.
Problem was, once I had the moonstones attached they faded right into the peace sign design! This would not do... so I used a Liver of Sulfur mixture to patina the silver, transforming it into a dark gray.
patina solution.
on it and just polished it up a bit, removing some of the gray
so that you could see spots of the shiny sterling silver.
I love the way this turned out!
