Ocean Jasper and Swarovski Crystal Jewelry Set

An ocean jasper pendant is the centerpiece for this elegant necklace of white pearls, Swarovski crystal, and sterling silver.

Ocean jasper is found in Madagascar and can only be seen and collected at low tide. When I look at this magnificent jasper, I’m reminded of individual planets. Each one looks like its own world full of life and possibility. It’s utterly beautiful and I love to use ocean jasper as centerpieces.

The necklace is 17 3/4 inches, 45 cm.
The earrings are 1 1/2 inches, 4 cm, long in total.

Price for set $250

Black Onyx and White Pearls

 date October 9, 2009    comments  Leave a Comment   postedby MiLadyCarol

Why are tuxedos always black? Why do women always keep a little black dress in their closets for impromptu socials? Because people always look more distinguished in black. If you want a necklace that adds that extra bit of distinguished flair to your wardrobe, this is a great choice.

I started with shiny black onyx, added the classic white pearl, enhanced them with sterling chain and separators, then carefully placed a bit of Swarovski sparkle to add that extra wink of fun. Together, they make for a highly distinguished, classy set with that hint of sparkly fun and adventure. Perfect.

Necklace Length: 18 1/4 inches (46 cm.)
Earrings Length: 1 1/2 inches (4 cm.)

Rainbow moonstone is an amazing milky-white stone with flashes of blue, aqua, and violet labradoressence. You can see some of that flash in the pendant photo. I love the way rainbow moonstone shifts with light and the perspective of the viewer. People are sure to ask about this fascinating stone when you wear it.

Rainbow moonstone is an amazing milky white stone with flashes of blue, aqua and violet labradoressence.  I’ve taken multiple photos to try to capture some of the amazing flash these stones have as the move in the light.  I’ve paired these stones with Swarovski crystals in  tropical aqua to capture the image of white waves in the waters off serene islands.

Kyanite & Pearls

 date October 9, 2009    comments  Leave a Comment   postedby MiLadyCarol

Kyanite is derived from the Greek word kyanos which means blue — and this is an amazing blue.  I once had the opportunity to walk through a glacier.  They had drilled a people-sized tunnel into the depths of this ancient block of ice.  Walking into it, the ice around the mouth began light blue, then became this amazingly intense blue before turning gray as we walked further into the places where the sun couldn’t reach us.   Kyanite is the closest I’ve ever seen to the various tints and shades of blue in that glacier.  The crystalline structure of the gem reminds me of shards of ice and frost in winter.  It’s simply gorgeous.

This necklace is made of coin-shaped kyanite and deep blue pearls with sterling accents.  The pendant and clasp area of the chain is set off by small Swarovski crystals.

Fluorite and Purple Swarovski Crystal Set

Fluorite comes in all the colors of the rainbow.  It’s a lovely transparent stone that is enhanced by wonderful planes of cleavage that add interest and texture to the pendant stone.

I’ve arranged a gradation of faceted purple, pink, clear and blue-green fluorite and set them off by adding sterling silver and faceted purple Swarovski crystal.  The rest of the chain is sterling with a pair of Swarovski crystals at the end.  The earrings are also fluorite and crystal.

Dark Blue Pearls

Pearls are a classic look in jewelry.  To me, pearls mingle harmoniously with everything.  I fell in love with this fun, jaunty  pearls the moment I saw them.  As soon as I laid hands on this strand, I imagined this necklace.  I returned home and began the necklace.

Large dark blue pearls flanked by Swarovski crystals swim along a gold-fill chain with gold-fill accents.  It’s simple and elegant and the fun color adds a great deal of youthful flair to the classic look of pearls and gold.
