What I've been working on...

Ok so I've finally got some pictures of the jewelry designs I've been working on. Originally, I wanted to focus on making bib necklaces. But while I was gathering materials I had a few other design ideas. I'm still working on bibs too! Check out the two necklaces below (sorry the pictures are not very clear).

A gold chain is wrapped and twisted twice around a strand of turquoise beads

I am very inspired by Gemma Redux jewelry designs

A large silver chain is wrapped with a light powder blue ribbon and a small silver chain, a cluster of oval briolette beads dangles from the center of the necklace.

So these are just the first of many more designs to come. With each necklace I create I learn something new about the jewelry making process. I've learned that it takes lots of time and patience to finish a complete design idea, but as the creative juices keep flowing the process comes more naturally too. More to come soon! :)

GG gems

The fashionistas of Gossip Girl wear the most fabulous jewelry! Since the series premiered in 2007, the uber-trendy Upper Eastsiders' assembles engineered by stylist Eric Daman have often been an inspiration for my own wardrobe choices and jewelry designs. Take a look...
