I’ve been working on a few new pieces lately. This one took forever, and I’m very happy with it. The glass and brass pieces are probably from a bracelet. I found them in a random bag of bits and pieces, mostly broken, I bought at the flea market a few years ago. The rest is new – freshwater pearls, amethyst, and smokey quartz with a brass clasp.

I’ve been wanting to create better, more interesting shots of my jewellery. Here are a couple attempts of two new pieces.

These two new pieces began as a commission for my sister. She sent me the most gorgeous red pearls and asked me to make something from them. I really enjoyed this one, so I made two. She loved them so much, she took both and gave one away as a birthday gift.
