Starfish and Black Jasper necklace

This fun necklace is made of black jasper chips, sterling silver beads and a Paua Starfish Pendant.  It measures almost 20 inches plus a 1.5" extender finished with an accent jasper chip.  The sterling silver clasp is an easy-squeeze kind, where you squeeze both raised parts to open the clasp (no messing with finger nails).  All metal materials are sterling silver except for the tiger wire (coated cable) used to string the beads on.  The starfish pendant is definitely coated in some sort of acrylic material that sort of magnifies the paua shell, and it measures approx. 1.5".  You can wear the necklace two different ways as shown (untwisted and twisted).  SOLD





Blue dichroic glass earrings

I made these cabs from translucent dichroic glass, then used my grinder to create a lip around the glass.  I hand-wrapped sterling silver wire around the glass, and made three loops from which hang many glass and sterling beads as well as some Swarovski crystals.  Two of the dangles are also handmade.  These earrings measure almost 3.25" from the very top of the earwire hook to the bottom of the longest dangle.  SOLD
