Polly’s Pick, Gemstones & Pearls

This necklace elegantly combines solid copper beads and Fresh

Water Pearl Coins.  TierraCast findings complete this three strand

design. “I pulled my Rings & Things inventory and let my imagination

take over. Yes, there were challenges along the way—this is the

third designI created. This first two were disassembled because

they weren't quite right. I really enjoy incorporating copper into

my designs along with, or instead of, silver and gold. 'Pearls That Swim'features copper and silver accents and the shimmer of the

Fresh Water Pearls, along with the 'water' of the Amazonite."

 Designed For A Friend! 

 

 

Tangerine Turquoise, Red Jasper & Copper Links Necklace.

This is a custom design. A friend of mine purchased the gemstone

beads and wanted me to make something for her using copper. 

She purchased the Tangerine Turquoise, which I ove, along with

the RedJasper. I added Autumn Turquoise and a variety of Copper

wire wrapped links. This is very versatile as it can be worn three

ways for different look - long with toggle in front, long with toggle

in back, or doubled for a layered look.

    "A friend came to my studio to design a necklace that she 
     envisioned. While I was helping her design her piece, I was
     inspired to create a 'layered' necklace using pearls, gemstones
     and lots of chain. I had just received my Rings & Things order
     a few days before and most of the components of this design     
     were laying out. They coordinated beautifully as they lay there
     and I wanted to find a way to bring them together. I had so
     much fun making this design. It is a bit challenging to determine 
     how much chain to use and what length to use so it lays
     just right.


     "There were several modifications along the way until the
     composition was just right. The shimmering colors of
larvikite
     crystal pearls
and faceted ocean jasper blend perfectly with
     lots of
gunmetal chain. The tiny gunmetal heishi spacers give
     just the right amount of separation to make these beautiful
     beads get noticed. Now I am inspired to create a similar design
     using sterling silver chain, antique brass or antique copper
     chain and compatible gemstones! Thank you Rings & Things ---
     your products ROCK!"

       Kyanite and Pyrite Necklace.  I've used Kyanite and Pyrite
       along with Antique Brass Chain. The pendant is an Antique
       Brass Hammered Round with two layers of unique Antique
       Brass findings and I've added a Fresh Water Pearl Coin in
       the center that shimmers in Blue as does the Kyanite.
       ______________________________________________
 
        This was so much fun to design - it was inspired by an
         idea a friend of mine had. 
 
       
                          
        I used Smokey Quartz as the focal sourrounded by
        Labradorite rondelles, faceted lantern shape Turquoise
        along with Swarovski Pearls. In addition to lots of Antique
        Brass Chain in various styles, I've added a strand of Faceted
        Fresh Water Pearls, Citrine and more Labradorite.
 
        The Earrings are made from Antique Brass Hammered Rings
        and accented with a Fresh Water Pearl in the Center.     _________________________________________________
 
       Tiger Jasper & Amethyst

 
       
       In this design I've used the wavy cut Tiger Jasper and
       combined the complimentary tones of Amethyst along
       with Bronzed Glass Discs to create a very unique look. 
       I finished the design with a dark Antique Copper Chain
       and Toggle Clasp.
