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 ....

COPPER CRYSTAL

At a glance this brooch looked like my previous brooch in http://beautyndbeads.blogspot.com/2010/03/big-and-beautiful.html maybe because of the shape of the frame.
But if you look closer the filigree is different, this one was made with wire stitching. It looked more full and rich compare to ordinary filigree.

I chose copper wire to compliment the tear drop copper crystal and green fire polished crystal beads as an accent among the copper fire crystal beads.
As you can see the result was beautiful.

In fact in reality, this BIG brooch (10 x 10 cm) is certainly more beautiful .....
