Some New Earrings

Even with the new puppy taking so much of my time (not complaining, just explaining), I was able to complete some new earrings and even made some time to photograph them and list them in my etsy shop.

New Necklace : White on White

I suppose being surrounded by the white stuff inspired me to make a very white necklace.  The focal point is a beautiful moonstone briolette.  Part of the chain consists of white freshwater pearls securely wired together.  The remainder is oval rolo style chain (my favorite, but generally more expensive that regular cable link chain).  Click on the photo to go directly to the listing.

Ever since I've started using the "auto" feature on my too-complicated-for-me digital camera, my results have improved dramatically.  Imagine that.  I decided that I didn't have anything to prove, so I calmly switched to auto and I felt an immediate sense of relief.  Apparently, my camera is smarter than I am.  And I'm ok with that.

Big Moonstone Briolette

When I bought this strand of really large white moonstone briolettes, I envisioned a series of necklaces.  Surely they were too large for earrings.  I was wrong.  Yes, they make a bold pair of earrings, but they're definitely NOT too big.

The stones have a nice blue flash to them, when viewed at certain angles, yet they are neutral enough to wear everyday.  They are for sale in my etsy shop.

Ripe Peaches!

Can't you imagine that yummy taste of your first peach in summer by looking at these earrings? No? Me neither. I'm in Alaska and a really ripe peach is almost impossible to find, even in the height of summer. But a girl can dream, can't she?

These luscious peach moonstone briolettes will have to suffice. The color is delectable and I've topped them with a cluster of smaller peach and gray moonstone beads. The gray helps to balance the force of the peach. You wouldn't want the juice of the ripe peaches running down your chin, would you? Have I gone to far with the food analogy?
