One Design Four Ways

I loved making these yesterday...assemblage jewelry is probably my most favorite to make. Anything that involves found treasures just makes creating so much fun and challenging for me. 

The four pieces are all the same design but with different elements. The common factor is rosary beads, filigree settings, antique buttons, etched discs,and a religious focal.

 The unexpected touch is the etched disc behind the filigree flower. It adds a really cool element to the necklace without being too much.

 You can find all of these pieces in my Etsy shop.

A few more Rosary inspired pieces

 I have two more rosary necklaces to share with you...One of my favorite things to create are religious pieces. I love vintage and antique rosaries for their beauty, patina and the feeling they have. Those of you who also work with these know what I am saying. I am not an overly religious person but I do find these pieces humbling and comforting. The medals and crosses are time worn with history and a past,they fit my designs beautifully.

 You can find this piece in my Etsy shop.
