Thanks for the encouragement Ash! I have a hybrid knitting/beading project I am working on now and am thinking of delving into a couple jewelery courses after the new year. I believe the slipping down that slope has already started...

Here are a couple of pendants both made in 2007.
The first one has a Kamoka Keishi pearl with a neon purple sapphire made in white and yellow gold

The second pendant is forged 14k gold with a freshwater baroque pearl and a pinky orange Montana sapphire.

I love those, Dfrey, especially the second one. I keep thinking I want to learn how to do that as well, so I'm making as well as desiging. Maybe when I go part time with my day job (wishful thinking).

Dfrey. I have got to find the time to start metalsmithing again. I did some silver and gold work many years ago but it lapsed. Beautiful work and fine craftsmanship, you and Marcus both

The more I look the more I am amazed!
I adore sunstone, from anywhere, and the keishi are gorgeous! Oh and I love that purple sapphire.
The freshwater baroque and pinky Montana sapphire reminds me of surfing in the sunrise.
Sometimes looking at pearls makes me feel young again.

I have no favorite. All of your work is terrific.

Oh, I love this thread!

Sueki, your pieces are just lovely! I love the moonstone necklace--very beautiful. The South Sea baroques with the green garnets is stunning! mmm garnets!

Pearl_dreams, I like your use of the tourmaline beads! Tourmalines are so diverse--I really like the necklace.

Satine--the charm bracelet is fantastic! I want one!

Well done Mervione! Love the colors!

Sheryl, I really love your pieces.

Wow everyone! Nice work!
