Our jewelry creations are our original designs, handwrought in our jewelry studio or occasionally we offer some pieces created by friends.  We can also acquire standard manufactured jewelry items upon request.   If you do not find what you are looking for we will design something especially for you.  If chains are included with a pendant we will tell you.  Do not assume that every pendant comes with a chain.  If the chain that is included with a piece does not suit you we do have other lengths and types of chains for sale, just ask.

Opal Blush
Pendant and Earring Set with Hand-woven Silver Chain  Reticulation Silver, 18K gold, opals, sterling silver.
$ 490
Opal Blush is a beautiful shimmering pendant and earring set created from reticulation silver and decorated with  tiny elegant fiery opals ( 4mm) set with 18K gold bezels onto each piece.  The pendant and earrings are further enhanced by   a blush of 23K gold burnished onto the reticulated silver surface of each piece in selected places, not covering the full surface.  Best of all the shimmering pendant hangs from a HAND-WOVEN CHAIN.  We have seen these chains sell for $ 500 by themselves. The chain and the end pieces are all handfabricated.   The chain is made from silver and is silver in appearance, the base of the pendant and earrings is reticulated silver and is silver in appearance with gold burnished on to some of the surface.  The photograph picks up the gold look and almost seems to enhance it as it is more visible in the bright light of the flash.  Which is to say that on our monitor the pieces appear more "golden" than they do in real life.  Study the enlarger versions with the understanding that the chain is silver, the bezels are 18K gold and there is a "wash" of 23K gold in places on the surface of the pieces.   And if you have any questions just let us know!  The pendant can be removed from the chain, of course, and the chain can be worn with some other pendant or alone. The pendant oval portion measures 49.68 mm x 28.04 mm.  The earrings are 41.88mm long overall and 12.75 mm wide.  The chain in 24 inches long including catches and measures approximately 4 mm in diameter.  This is a truly elegant and totally unique set.   This one is an especially good buy!
