A friend is getting married in late June at the beach and I wanted to give her a little something...
The bride-to-be has selected a soft, dusty violet dress.... so I chose an amethyst tear-drop pendant and fresh water pearls for the jewelry. She is five-foot-nothing so I needed to keep things on a smaller scale than I tend to make... a challenge for me to be sure!
I wire-wrapped the pendant, adding fresh water pearls... and also added a starfish charm and a larger freshwater pearl dangling thingie. I kept the earrings simple, using freshwater pearls, amethyst glass beads and a silver spacer.
My apologies for the less-than-stellar photography.... need to get some tips about photographing jewelry from my friend Cynthia at Sea of Glass...
They look great! Love the combination of pearls with amethyst!
ReplyDeleteYou are one very talented gal, I'm sure she will be very pleased with your gift. I love how you have put the beach theme in by using the starfish charm, also love your very technical term - dangling thingie :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you make jewlery too, Freda? Your one talented lady. The pendant and earrings are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you also did jewelry! This is a beautiful set. I love amethyst and I love freshwater pearls, but I have never seen the two together. Just lovely! What a meaningful gift!
