Here are the sterling silver wire wrapped hoop earrings to coordinate with the bracelet pictured below.

These dangly hoops are slightly more than an inch in diameter and wrapped with many feet of sterling silver wire. A red coral rondelle, also snugly wrapped, dangles from each hoop. I oxydized the whole earring for depth, and then shined the surfaces.

 

 Friendly indeed.

Coral finds a friend…or two: Artisan wire wrapped bangle bracelet

I’ve been wanting to mix copper and sterling silver in an industrial feel bangle for a while, but just couldn’t find exactly the right partner. Then these fantastically HUGE coral rondelles made their entrance as the perfect mixed metal cohort.

This bangle is made of yards of sterling silver wire, copper wire, copper tubing, sterling silver round beads, mykonos silver metalicized donuts and red coral rondelles. They all sit happily on a large sterling base, closed by a swirled sterling silver clasp.  It would best fit someone with a wrist of 6 to 6 1/2 inches in diameter.

Fall Sunset: Artisan Wire Wrapped Necklace

Apr
No Comments   Posted by Kristy |  Category:My Jewelry

Mookaite is a really lovely stone that comes in all sorts of lovely shades. I chose several shapes and sizes in varying colors of red and golden yellow to make this necklace.

The diamond shaped pendant is wrapped in yards of sterling silver wire, and then each stone is carefully attached with sterling wire to the frame and each other.

Another long necklace from me. The chain is about 19 inches, not including the beaded pendant, which adds about another 2 inches to the total length.

The color palette on this one reminds me of a late summer sunset.
