Another Grandmother's Pendant

This is a custom order too. It looks like I've used the Mabe Pearl as a canvas to paint on with sparkling stones and the royal gold. It also has a heart on top, and all birthstones of all the 6 grandkids are attached to the wires that come from the heart...you can say they are tied to grandma's heartstrings.

I will post many pictures here for now, in various backgrounds and positions, so the customer can see it before she buys it.

Kelsi's Gift - A Pre-eclampsia Foundation Benefit

My friend Melissa is doing an angel promotion in honor of her own angel who crossed over to the other side because of pre-eclampsia. She makes these BEAUTIFUL angel pendants with sterling silver and gold filled wire. I have one, and I bought one to gift to a friend. We both love our angel pendants! For this benefit, 50% of all angel sales from December 1 to January 1 will be donated to the Pre-eclampsia Foundation. The promotion is in honor of Kelsi Muir - Melissa's angel. These are so lovely, they can be used as pendants, as Christmas tree ornaments, as brooches, or as gifts to mothers with the birthstones of all her children in it. Do go take a look at her beautiful angels here at:

Pendant for Grandmother

Not for my grandmother :-). She is up in Heavens ;-). And she says hi to all of you :-D.

This is for my friend Melissa's mum....grandmum to Melissa's three daughters. The central piece is a Mabe pearl. Pearls in general are considered "Mother's stone". In this case...it become Grandmother's "stone". And the smaller 3 stones are the CZ equivalents of Melissa's daughters' birthstones. The Blue Topaz is on top because that represents Melissa's daughter in Heaven...Melissa's own special angel. The lower two are the daughters on Earth...Amethyst and Ruby.

Mystery blue stone, Sterling Silver pendant

This is a 1" circle diameter, hammered to create texture, 18 gauge round SS wire to frame it, 26 gauge fine silver bezel wire to set my blue mystery stone. I will be smoothing out the bezel more with a burnisher.

Yayyy!! I can make solitaires now!!

Learnt it at Wenric's from Wendy. She's a wonderful lady...arranged for a special one on one class for me. She was happy with my skill level and said when I have more time (as in when baby is older), she'd like me to come and teach classes at her store because she is too busy to teach now. That should be awesome! We ended up making 2 rings because I made the one scheduled ring for the class very very fast. I think in 30 minutes. The class was for 3 hours. LOL! So I made one more ring and then I called Swami to come pick me up.

Then later that evening at the doc's the nurse was terribly impressed with my solitaires and wanted my business card so she could get something made by me....and of course, I didn't have a card! LOL!

Wire rings: Twilight Topaz and Blue Topaz

Picked up my soldering torch after a long time.

18 gauge round SS wire, 1/2" circles, all soldered and hammered. The shine is just lovely...can't capture it well on photos. I love this one.
