Beautifully subtle and so textural, this handcrafted bracelet features a sterling silver oval – handcut and textured, accented by sandcast beads in golden hues with lovely stripe detailing in brown, green, and a bit of blue. Swarovski crystals in ...
Most of us can achieve more when we have SOME kind of deadline or a stated, specific, doable goal. Go "on the record" in this group, with what you want to do next. Post results. We'll cheer you on and be inspired by you. Go!
Hand-cut sterling silver rectangles, textured and darkened. They set the stage for simply beautiful handcrafted post earrings. Kyanite faceted ovals complete the design echoing the texture of the silver. These earrings are approximately 2” long.
