Laboradorite and BC Jade




 Laboradorite has become one of my favourite stones lately, but with the neutral colours with be the beautiful flashes of laboradorescence ("play of colours"), who can blame me? I envisioned my large laboradorite rondelles with faceted British Columbian jade stones in a necklace. The result is the wire wrap necklace above; it almost has a subtle Victorian feel to it. The draped chain below the stones add extra attention to the piece. The pendant itself is 4" wide and the necklace in total is 24" long, finished with a Bali style sterling toggle clasp.~FOR SALE~

Gothic Chic


I had the pleasure of making a custom necklace for a friend, it was a present for her friend. It would be a little challenge for me as I had the theme of "gothic chic". I had no previous experience with the gothic look in my repertoire but I love a good challenge. I decided on using mixed media with a simple colour combination. From left to right of the pendant cluster consists of: a jet Swarovski crystal briolette, a Swarovski crystal tear drop, sponge coral, a large agate stone, a quartz crystal point, hematite and red Swarovski crystal polygon. All the stones/crystals were wrapped differently and the necklace was finished with sterling silver chain and findings. Needless to say, I am very happy with how this necklace turned out.
