Something New . . . For the Bride


I get some of my best ideas from my customers!!! Last year I sold one of my flower vase bouquets to a woman who was getting married. She told me that rather than doing the traditional "toss of the bouquet" she would instead do a drawing to win my necklace. I was so thrilled that my necklace was not only an important part of such a very special day, but also a fun new twist on an ancient tradition.

Since then I have had the idea to make a flower vase bouquet that could be worn by a bride. I decided to go with white czech flowers and a touch of Swarovski crystals and some czech leaves for a bit of green. This time I left the piece unoxidized (no patina finish) so it would have a shinier and slightly dressier look. I am really excited about how this piece came out. I hope this necklace has a "happily ever after" as well. ;-)

Valentine Bouquet Necklace - My Latest Creation

I've been busy trying to make some jewelry items for Valentine's Day. This was one of those ideas that came to me in the middle of the night and I couldn't wait to start making it! Once again I'm using PMC (precious metal clay - .999 fine silver once fired in a kiln). I have combined the silver with czech flowers and leaves, and a gorgeous sterling silver box chain.

Just listed in my Artistic Creations shop on Etsy this evening.
