[SunSeeker]

Sheri, I just love, love, love this piece and how nice that it holds so many fond memories!

Most of the creature collections are in this thread. One more snake ( I can't get enough of this clasp):

 

[Sanippy]

BPD that is amazing!!!

 

[BlackPearlDudeDC]

I'm glad you like it. Ya know I found the same type of spinel beads but even larger...of course I was drooling but not willing to pay the "price" but I had so many design ideas in my head!

BPD that is amazing!!!

COOOOL! I love it. Very Victorian.

Did you know that Queen Victoria's engagement ring was a coiled snake with an emerald head?

Quite the little goth was Queen Victoria.

This gave me quite the giggle!

You've gotten me in trouble with my friends and I love it. I can't say for certain why but your post was a hit among my "coffee buds", there was a threat to facebook the expression on my face LOL. Btw I don't mind that Goth at all, and you are spot on to recognize the influence in my creations.

Heheheheh! I was quite tickled when I found out about Queen Victoria's engagement ring. I'd read that her daughter-in-law, Princess Alexandra, had a coiled snake bangle that she wore all the time, and Queen Victoria thought it was creepy. So when I read that Queen Victoria had a coiled snake ring as an ENGAGEMENT ring, I thought it was a bit weird. Prince Albert had quite the jewelry design skills, so I'm not sure why he went with a coiled snake design.

I'm also tickled that I got you in "trouble" with your friends. I can't even imagine the friendly jabbing they gave you. I'm glad you all got a good laugh out of it.

This thread is amazing, so many beautiful creations everyone...but I must admit my fave so far is from one of the first postings, the ring with the love birds, so delicate and beautiful!

I was waiting for Sarah of Kojima Pearl to write up my purchase of these colorful "pecans" at the latest Ruckus, when I spotted these delightful fish. Sarah says she spent hours looking through a small mountain of pearls to come up with this pair. As a March Pisces baby, these had to come home with me as well.

I figured it would be a little less self indulgent to place these guys here instead of that other thread of my own things. Besides I love the animal jewelry and I hope you guys keep posting to it. So consider this a bump.

I just had to share more artistry from Sheri Jurnecka:



I know we name these little guys, but I've not come up with any that I like. Suggestions? anyone willing to play? lol

Love them!!!!

 

[ewewhojane]

Those make me ridiculously happy; they all have different personalities!

 

[Katbran]

Those are great !!

 

[BlackPearlDudeDC]

Sheri (so creative and talented) did a great job with the colors on the Ursla octo. A;so the tandem pendant is the perfect match to the tiny metallic CFWP pearls we used.
I know there is an Octo adoptive "parents" club growing here, collecting them is a bit addictive.

Here is the old Snake Bracelet with the new Black Spinel and Tahitian Pearl Bracelet (Reimagined the former necklace):

Hi BPDDC!!! Agreed with GemGeek, neckshots please!
And I missed this thread earlier but just saw Ursula when the thread got bumped.
I've heard Sheri talk about Ursula just at this past Ruckus, so glad to see it here it is awesome!
