A friend recently gave me a string of hematite to use in a new design for her. Here is the happy result:
Combined the hematite beads with some gold-coloured pearls. The necklace has a front-closure gold-fill toggle clasp and I reused the 18K clasp from the original piece in the bracelet. I’m really pleased with this colour combo.
The necklace much nicer around her neck than here; I think I got the length perfect.
I’m very excited that Eclectic Gallery, a lovely gallery on Oak Bay Avenue, is now carrying some of my necklaces and bracelets.

Some gift boxes and tags for the pieces at Eclectic.
One of 11 necklaces now available at Eclectic. They have many jewellery artisans represented.
This is another piece I’m fond of; fun summery colours with cheeky brass bells.
I was please they took this piece, one of my favourite recent designs.
I’ve been wanting to create better, more interesting shots of my jewellery. Here are a couple attempts of two new pieces.

Here are a few of my newest pieces. Hoping to make at least a dozen more before a special event at Arrogant Pirate, the shop which carries my designs.

This piece was commissioned by a friend who had a special memento coin from her family. GJ wrapped the coin in wire and I hung it from gorgeous blue apatite stones and moonstones with pale teal embroidery floss. © Firehorse Designs
This antique watch chain with medallion and encased coin wanted to be hung as a necklace. I added a smokey-blue length of suede into which I sewed tiny seed pearls. I also added a grouping of pearls to the chain. This piece was commissioned as a gift and the recipient was very pleased. © Firehorse Designs
