SOPHIE customised necklace


Hi,

Beautiful sunny day today, have my washing on the line as i type.

My sister has kindly made this necklace a beautiful customized sterling silver lightly hammered tag necklace for anyone called Sophie. I have one with my son and daughters name on that she made me. That has 2 tags my son on bottom bigger circle and my daughter's name on the top one with a little puffy sterling silver heart in front.

My sister is s silversmith and is saving up for a tumble polisher machine so she can make more personalised silver or copper or mixed metal projects with a quicker turnaround as she is currently has to take items to her college to get polished.

Patience, patience, patience.

Ta ra for today

Cool coral and silver necklace



My Folksy Mayhem listing for today. Feminine coral gemstone chip and sterling silver rondelle beaded necklace. I have used open heart closed sterling silver jump rings round the neckline and 6mm sterling silver rondelle beads. Strung on wire and a pattern of 5 gemstone chips to one rondelle bead give it a uniform look and the silver adds nice weight to the necklace.

Lovely colour for summer.

Purple amethyst handmade swarovski crystal necklace



Just listed today as part of the folkay mayhem challenge listing a new item each day. I made this pretty crystal necklace last night. About one year ago i made a lot of necklaces using swarovski crystals and they were very popular but havn't had time recently so i thought last night i would make one and put it into our Folksy shop. They don't take too long to make and i hope to do a tutorial on this necklace as you could use other beads, like pearls or sterling silver beads for instance. In fact as i am writing this blog i may do a pearl butterfly necklace with same techniques so watch this space.

A new project for tonight i think!
