Green Amethyst

Last week I had purchased these stunning green amethyst gems from Mary my "bead lady". I knew I wanted to make something simple to showcase the gems. I wire wrapped them in sterling and oxidized them to give them an aged look. For the earrings I made some sterling links to make them dangle nicely. Although the green color did not photograph well, they are a soft green. You can find these beauties on my new website.

Don't forget about signing up for my giveaway it ends Sunday. You can enter here to win a custom initial Typewriter key pendant.

I am feeling a little "horsey" today and am missing these gals and little guy. Just wanted to share a favorite picture of mine. Although I look like a wreck, it's all about the horses.

A Jeweled Gem

A jeweled necklace rich in color created from rejuvenated antique jewels, an old amethyst brooch is given new life as a pendant. An antique faceted blue glass gem is added and sparkles from every angle. I oxidized the brass chain and hand forged a brass hook and eye to finish out this simple but elegant adornment. You can find this pretty on Etsy.
