AYUDHIA IN TURQUOISE

These set were inspired by ayudhia bangle, a tutorial by borneo pahlevi, a talented jewelry designer from my country, Indonesia.
He started doing wire work a bit later than me but now he already made more tutorial than me in www.jewelrylessons.com ... that's how good he is .... =)


The necklace was made with the same principle with the bangle. I only made each piece a bit longer (about 10 cm each) so it could nicely formed as necklace.



Both Turqoise in the necklace and bangle were netted, not woven as shown in the tutorial.
I chose to make a simple bezel for both cabochon to enhance the intricate wire woven on the left and the right side of the cabochon.


I really love the combination of turqoise and copper wire ... I hope you do too .....
Thank you for looking ....

Rose vitrail lite crystal - a jewelry set

Among my beads collection, this rivoli from swarovski crystal belonged to the category of special beads because of their beautiful color.
I was always waiting for the perfect project to use for this special bead and I when I drew this brooch/pendant, I thought the rose vitrail lite would be a perfect bead to use as the vocal point.

And I think I was right.... as you can see bound with prong and surrounded by different color of crystals and silver filigree... it really create a beautiful brooch/pendant.


To complete the set, I also made a pair of earrings. As I love chandelier earrings so much, maybe I over did the swirls.... =)
But I thought, that beautiful brooch/pendant needed an earrings that were equally beautiful, right? With 8 cm earrings dangling from your earlobe in sparkling crystals, they were really a match with each other.


Thank you for looking..... (^0^)

ANTIQUE MING PORCELAIN - a replica

This piece was comissioned by Risma ... she fell in love with the first Antique Ming Porcelain Pendant and asked me to make one for her.

At glance this piece looked the same as the original piece, but her request was that it could be worn as pendant and brooch, so I added some filigree close to the oval cabochon to attached the pin and also some filigree on the bottom part to balanced it.

I really love the out come. I think this piece is better than the original piece... what do you think?
