"Bountiful Boulder" Pure (.999) Silver PMC Hollow Form Necklace

$145 USD"Bountiful Boulder" Pure (.999) Silver PMC Hollow Form Necklace

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
This little boulder was a labor of love... extremely time-consuming and with a delightful result, in my view! The base of the "stone" was created by wrapping precious metal clay over an actual rock, drying it, then carefully removing (by cutting) and then reconstructing and sanding... this was the original intent (a smooth stone with holes)... however, I wasn't quite satisfied, so I proceeded to punch multiple sizes and styles of curls from paper clay, and one by one, layered them on top of the ...
"Peridot Paradise" Gemstone 16-inch Necklace

$375 USD"Peridot Paradise" Gemstone 16-inch Necklace

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
28 peridot briolettes, 60+ peridot beads and one HUGE peridot drop... glamorous and gorgeous... vivid green. These are some of the most beautiful gemstones that I have found. This is a 16" necklace... small and elegant. Unbelievably gorgeous... A little peridot lore... Peridot is given as a symbol of fame, dignity, and protection. Legend has it that pirates favored peridot to protect them against evil. When the peridot was set in gold it also protected the wearer from terrors in the night.
"Silver Bronze Spinners" Pure (.999) Silver and Bronze PMC 5-bead Necklace

$225 USD"Silver Bronze Spinners" Pure (.999) Silver and Bronze PMC 5-bead Necklace

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
Labor of love... pure silver (Precious Metal Clay - .999 silver) base beads were kiln-fired... then bronze clay was used to create spinning accents around each bead (then fired again)... creating 5 gorgeous, unique textured beads. Approximately 22 grams of pure silver and bronze (mostly silver) were used. I oxidized with liver-of-sulfur to bring out the details. I have added a 22" sterling chain and clasp. The technique for creating these beads was taught by the fabulous artist, Hadar Jacobson. ...

I used multiple textures and patina (liver-of-sulfur) to bring out the detail. The back of this piece is ALMOST as delightful as the front... The pendant measures about 3.25" x 1.5" - it's a substantial piece of jewelry. ...

The front and back each have little flaps with a small button, and the front has a tassel (front and back are identical with the exception of the tassel... and the fact that the direction is reversed).

"Cranes" Hand-beaded Delica Bag Necklace

$250 USD"Cranes" Hand-beaded Delica Bag Necklace

"Dripping in Sapphires" Dragon Necklace - Christi Friesen Focal

$395 USD"Dripping in Sapphires" Dragon Necklace - Christi Friesen Focal

The focal point of this whimsical, yet elegant, necklace is a gorgeous hand-crafted dragon ("Little Blue") created by Christi Friesen. Christi sculpted this dragon using polymer clay, with embedded gemstones (sapphires, a freshwater cultured pearl, garnet eyes). Christi's signature can be seen on one of the little wing feathers ("CF"). The gorgeous sapphires in this focal bead deserved an equally stunning and high-quality strand for the necklace. I chose the most gorgeous faceted, sparkling ...
"Windswept Tourmaline Treasures" Necklace with Fonda/Clark Focal

$325 USD"Windswept Tourmaline Treasures" Necklace with Fonda/Clark Focal

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
The older I get, the more "sparkly" my creations get... based on this piece, I should be about 112 years old! The focal bead (which is placed asymmetrically on the side) is a Carol Fonda / Monty Clark "Windswept" lampworked glass bead - one of the most gorgeous I have ever seen. I picked this bead up from Carol Fonda at the Bead&Button show. The dichroic pinks and greens in this bead screamed, "TOURMALINE"... so I combined multiple strands (and a variety of shapes) of tourmaline (lots of pinks ...
SALE "Sun City" Pure (.999) Silver PMC Necklace

$65 USD SaleSALE "Sun City" Pure (.999) Silver PMC Necklace

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
Inspired by Hadar Jacobson (fabulous artist and teacher), this Precious Metal Clay creation contains about 20 grams of pure (.999) silver. Due to the fact that this is an "imitation" of one of Hadar's original pieces (which she generously gave me permission to recreate) and not a Holly-original... I'm putting this gorgeous piece into my "sale" basket! The pendant depicts a little city street... and measures about 2 1/4" by 2". I have added an 18" custom sterling silver chain. The neck opening is ...
