Gemstones & Pearls Category
"Pearls That Swim"

Artist: Joanne Safron Feissle (Wildwood, MO)
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 design I

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 Red Jasper. 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.

Well, I was in an Antique Brass mood when I created this! It is very

fun to wear and goes with almost everything.

Yep...you're right! I was in a brass mood again, but this time, I just

purchased this wonderful creation of Antique Brass Rings and added

my own touch with the chain dangle.

       Dark Red Garnet, Triple Strand Necklace. This Necklace and
       Earring Set was donated for auction at the 2009 Ronald McDonald
       House, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" Event. The Necklace is designed

with lots of Garnet, Sterling Beads and Sterling Chain to balance the

design. I used various cuts of Garnet for a more interesting design,

and even added a touch of Tourmaline! This was fun to create, and

it was for a great cause!

Some of my personal designs are shown here!

       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've used Smokey Quartz as the focal sourrounded by Labradorite rondelles.
        Next, I used faceted lantern shape Turquoise along with Swarovski Pearls
        and more Labradorite. In addition to the mounds of Antique Brass Chain in
       various styles, I've added a strand of Faceted Fresh Water Pearls, Citrine

and yes, more Labradorite, this time in the form of small chips.

The Earrings are made from Antique Brass Hammered Rings and accented with

a Fresh Water Pearl in the Center.
