Oh Purr look at what I saw today ;)

[Purranha]

I scooped up another bracelet for the chopping block. Both bracelets are from Jade Market in Taipei.


I first converted the bracelet with my WSSP strand, but alas they were not big enough and the proportion looked off lol. Color didn't quite mesh either - not in love with it like the first piece. But Purranha didn't seem to mind - mommy mommy, I'll take both!

 

[Purranha]

So when the Dark Monster strand came in, I knew exactly what to do... I reworked the bracelet piece and couldn't be happier.
When I rework pieces, I always try to retain some of the original accessories and side pieces to keep some of the look & feel. For the bracelet, I kept the green bumper rings (they were hand wired with threads!), the silver bar where the silver filigree ball was hanging off from, and worked the silver ball and one of the jade bead into a tassel. In this case, I can wear the necklace stand alone, or with tassel hanging from the silver bar.

Last but not least - Me wearing the piece san-tassel with the jade asymmetric on the side. And of course furry Purranha's dad making an appearing photo-bombing in the corner!

Somehow I LUV the ripples with jade - the color just goes so beautifully together.
BIG THANKS to Sarah of Kojima for the incredible inspiration, and BIG THANKS to both Jeremy/Erin of PP for making these new pieces possible!

The ripples and the jade go great together.

My neck couldn't handle a strand that big, but I love what it looks like on you. Just gorgeous.

Cool creations Purranha, I love the metallic ripples and the combination of new and old, very creative!

 

[kalmen22]

Oh my. That is incredible. You are so creative. Like Bweaves I probably can't handle the weight. It looks wonderful on you. And I love ripples too. They are so interesting

 

[CathyKeshi]

Very beautiful new pieces, Purranha!

 

[KaySD]

The ripples and jade look great together. I look forward to seeing some of your creations in person.

I can't get over how much Purranha looks like Shadow, my beloved childhood fur baby.

Beautiful combinations, Purr. Those colors and shapes really sing well together!

 

[Katbran]

Well done, love the combo ! I've become such fan of Jade this year !

 

[battah]

Oh Purr, those are gorgeous! I love how you put things together - I never would have thought to combine those jade beads with the pearls, but they're perfect! And the little bar so you can add the tassels, I love it!

 

[lmgarden]

WOW, Purr what great combinations!!! Love love love!!!

 

[newberry]

Purr what great necklaces. Those strands are so colorful and with the addition of the jade wow just wow. This necklace needs to visit LA again

 

[Purranha]

Thanks again for all the compliments ladies! I still credit the inspiration to Sarah of Kojima.

Haha yes I really want to bring both of my jade conversion pieces to the ruckus -struggling with packing everything I want to bring along...

 

[Marianne]

Just do like CathyKeshi and load up your "pack mule"
