A Fusion of Stones...

A gorgeous fusion of amethyst, garnet, peridot, green aventurine, rose quartz, unikite, and much more all woven inside of circle. The crowning touch is a lovely butterfly charm and a freshwater pearl!

This luscious necklace started with sterling silver wire, which was soldered into a circle, then wire wrapped with very fine sterling silver wire. After wrapping the frame, a circle of rich purple amethysts was added, then a great variety of semi-precious stones in coordinating colors. They are as follows: garnet, rose quartz, hematite, unikite, green aventurine, goldstone, peridot, and quartz. Then lastly, a plump freshwater pearl and butterfly charm was woven into the circle.

A unique feature of this necklace, it is reversible! Because of the way it was woven together, either side looks beautiful!

Finally, the circle pendent is suspended on a simple 18-inch long sterling silver chain.

Thank you for looking!

Whiskey Quartz, Garnets and Peridot, Oh My!!!

A very vogue circle necklace with a hammered texture that is adorned with a stunning flame shaped whiskey quartz briolette. This beautiful stone is surrounded by peridot rondelles, faceted garnet rounds, a spessartite garnet briolette, and one plump freshwater pearl.

This stylish necklace started with sterling silver wire and chain, and of course all the splendid stones. No store bought findings outside of the chain for this necklace! The head pins and the circle that the stones are suspended on were created with sterling silver wire and a torch. Each stone is lovingly wire wrapped, and floats freely around the circle. Every little round garnet has a swirl of wire wrapping around the stone and finishing at the bottom. This detail is repeated on the two round garnets which connect the chain to the circle.

The circle was hammered for an interesting texture which captures and reflects the light; the back side of the circle has a smoother finish. So depending on your mood, you could wear this necklace with the texture or smooth finish side up.

Each detail of this necklace was thoughtfully considered, from the choice of warm colored stones, to the textures of the metals. It is my hope and desire that you will enjoy this necklace as much as I did in creating it for you!

Thank you for looking!

Blessings,

Peridot, the birthstone of August babies, is a very old gemstone found in Egyptian and Roman jewelry from ancient times. It has three different names: peridot, chrysolite and precious olivine. The word peridot is derived from the Greek word peridona, which means, "to give richness". It's lovely rich green color, with a touch of gold comes from very fine traces of iron and the intensity of the color is dependant upon the amount of iron present within the stone. Peridot is one of only a few gemstones that come in one specific color, and its color can range from yellowish green to olive and even to a brownish green.


These gorgeous handmade earrings have three different stones woven onto the sterling silver frames: peridot, prehnite and spessartite garnets. You will find more pictures and information about the Precious Olivine earrings by clicking on the link listed below. Thank you for looking!
