The Bold and the Beautiful

I was pretty productive this past weekend. Partly because it was too cold to go anywhere. Partly because I woke up from a dream about making a ring!! Well, I made the ring of my dreams and a few other pieces to go along with it. I'm calling the trio Bold and Beautiful because that is what they are. All the pieces are made of sterling silver and are guaranteed to make a statement of their own.

The ring I made is a size 8, has a domed shape and is slightly hammered on the surface to reflect a lot of light.

The pendant is made of a two inch disk of sterling silver with a shiny satin finish. It has a bail that is 3/8 inches wide, making it perfect for placing on almost any chain or strand of beads.

Finally, make a bold statement on your wrist with a bold cuff bracelet. It also has a shiny, satin finish and a slightly domed shape. A little charm from my Graphic Collection gives a little extra appeal.

Wonderful Wednesday

Forgive me if there are any typos in today's entry. My hands are raw from applying a patina then hand polishing 33 pieces of silver this morning. It was hard work (pity please) but it felt really good getting it done and working on components for my upcoming spring collection. Now I can finish off a link necklace, ring, charm bracelet, pendant and a pair of earrings.

That's right -- I did all of that by 1pm plus I edited several jewelry photos that I took yesterday, entered a new item in my Etsy shop (check it out at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8601075), repaired a ring for a friend and also completed four other pendants. Here's a picture of one of them called "Twinkle" and it's one of my favorite (and most popular) pendants.

Isn't it cute?! "Twinkle should be hitting my Etsy store later this week. Make sure you check it out!
