In our 'Accessories' category, we offer useful items to add to your jewelry box. From the simple chain to additional ear stud clasps, from my handmade copper ear studs to metal blanks that can be stamped with names, dates, star sign symbols and many other designs.

Chrysoprase is one of our best-selling gemstones at the moment. Looking out of my windows, I can appreciate the need for something green, lol. It's all dry and dusty here and everyone is desperately waiting for the rain to arrive and some new grass to grow.

Back to the Chrysoprase :-). I just finished a pair of earrings, wire wrapped with Chrysoprase nuggets and oxidized for a dramatic contrast.

New: Seed Bead Scarf Necklace

2010-07-01T05:22:00.000-07:00

We are right in the middle of a cold snap and it's freezing cold in my studio. I decided to start a longer project (in front of the heater :-) and have only now finished it. It's a seed bead scarf necklace that measures 130cm or 52 inches in length and weighs a whopping 300grams. I made 14 strands of different length, stringing mauve colored glass seed beads, mauve and silver colored bugle beads and genuine Rose Quartz beads. To keep them all together I made a sleeve, woven with more seed beads, which sits right at the back of the neck.

It took me over 10 hours to finish and the result is stunning.

Wire Jewellery With Diamond Beads

2010-05-06T17:47:00.001-07:00

I made my first ever piece of jewelry with diamonds beads. It's quite exciting I have to say. You wouldn't want to have those beads falling off your work bench and disappear into the carpet... I had to use 30g wire which is - very thin to say the least. First time for me also, to use solid gold wire. I love the finished piece though.

Valentine's Day

2010-01-09T17:43:00.000-08:00

Do you know the origin of Valentine's Day? This is what I found on the internet:

"Fanciful legends surround the origin of Valentine's Day, but the one that seems to have the most acceptance, is that this day was actually the martyrdom day of Saint Valentine. He was a Christian priest who dared to challenge a mighty Roman Emperor, way back in the 3rd century A.D.
Saint Valentine was a priest in the empire of Claudius II. Fearing that loyalty to their families would supersede loyalty towards the empire, Claudius II ordered that every marriage and engagement in Rome be declared null and void.
Valentine, (it would be a few centuries before he would be canonised) defied the emperor and secretly married hundreds of couples. It was not long before the news of this 'treachery' reached Claudius. Enraged, he threw Valentine into the dungeons and ordered to have him executed. It was in his prison, that love and hope entered Valentine's life. He fell in love with the jail keeper's daughter and just before he was led away to be beheaded, he wrote her a hastily scribbled note, singed as 'from your Valentine'. The date was 14th February, 270 A.D.
Valentine's death did not go in vain. His courageous act spurred lovers down the centuries to celebrate his martyrdom day as the day to express love for the one they admired and liked. And, although more than seventeen hundred years have passed, the custom of exchanging love and friendship messages on 14th February each year has endured! Later, Saint Valentine became the Patron Saint of this date!"

New Gemstone - Kunzite

2009-12-16T05:39:00.000-08:00

Not a gemstone you come across very often, especially not in bead form. I managed to find some beads and have finally finished the first piece, a pair of classic yet feminine earrings. I have added other pastel colours in green (Peridot) and blue (Aquamarine).
Kunzite is the pale pink variety of the mineral group Spodumene and was only discovered in 1902 which makes it a fairly 'young' mineral.

2009-11-03T01:13:00.001-08:00

What goes into making the cute little copper dot stud earrings:

I start with a length of solid copper wire. With a jeweller’s torch, I melt one end into a little ball and cut the finished earring into the right length. The earring then has to go into an acid bath, to remove the black fire scale (oxidisation) it has picked up due to the heat. After the acid treatment it needs to get rinsed and then I file the thin end into a rounded shape so that you don’t injure your ears when putting it in. After I have done that, the earring goes into a rotary tumbler where it is being moved around together with stainless steel shot, water and dishwashing liquid for about an hour. This serves to harden and polish the earring. It is being rinsed again after that, dried and polished with a soft cloth.
Quite a journey for the humble stud earring, but it is handmade, after all.

Tutorial: Filigree Pendant with Supplies from SupplyPusher

2009-10-09T23:36:00.000-07:00

This tutorial is part of an exchange program. The first photo shows the supplies, I received from SupplyPusher to create a piece of jewelry and make a tutorial about it.

These were the supplies I started out with:

I couldn't use the turquoise colored rondelle beads, but I loved the color combination with the strawberry quartz so I substituted with 3 Larimar beads and a faceted Amazonite briolette.

Step 1
I decided to wrap the brass ring with 28g golden artistic wire. I needed 140 cm for that. To start off, you leave a bit of a tail and then wrap tightly around the ring.

It was important to wrap tightly from the start as the irregular form of the ring didn't allow to slide the wraps once the wire was tightly on.

Step 2
To wire the smaller beads into the middle of the filigree piece, I pushed 28g wire through the middle hole and attached an anchor bead. This is needed to wrap the wire around and secure it that way.
I attached the three Larimar beads and another three golden beads.

Step 3
To use the supplied head pin, I had to cut off the 'head' and form a simple loop to attach the quartz bead to the filigree piece.

As I never get the length right, I use an 8mm bead as measurement. Wrapped around, that length is just right for a small loop.The strawberry quartz bead is attached to the filigree piece.

Step 4
The wire wrapped ring is attached to the bottom of the filigree piece via a large jumpring. It is important to always open the jumprings as seen in the photo. Never just pull them apart as that will damage the shape.

Step 5

To embellish the wire wrapped ring further, I wrap the faceted Amazonite bead. Again 28g artistic wire is used (25cm). Cross over the briolette.I have twisted the wire around 360 degrees, but be careful with this so the wire doesn't snap. Artistic wire is fairly soft so ok with this.

I have formed a loop with the round nose pliers.

Once the loop is formed, I hold it with my flat nose pliers and wrap the wire around 3 times.

I put the pliers away after that and continue with the wrapping by hand.

To wrap tightly around the top of a flat briolette, you will need a bit of practice to get the wire tension and placing right.

When finished, I guide the wire up to the loop (at the back of the briolette) and wrap around two more times. I snap off the rest on the wire and press the wrapping against the stone firmly.Step 6
I have added two golden bead caps to the strawberry quartz bead as it looked just a bit 'naked'. For the bail I will use a wrapped loop. Once again, I bend the wire in 90 degrees and wrap it around my round nose pliers.

Once the loop is formed, I hold it with the flat nose pliers and wrap the rest of the wire around it.

After this, I only had to use another large jumpring and attach the Amazonite briolette and the brass feather to the wrapped ring.

Here it is. I hope you like my pendant and enjoyed the tutorial. Thank you very much to SupplyPusher for generously supplying these fabulous findings and beads.

Featured this week: Wire wrapped Gemstone Solitaire Earrings

2009-09-13T06:09:00.000-07:00

This is a great way to 'get into' handmade artisan jewelry. You can get a feel for the workmanship, you have a great display of colour without fancy specials, the earrings are a perfect size for everyday and they won't cost you an arm and a leg.
We have a special category for smaller earrings, and also have some featured on our front page.
I have included a photo of what I am talking about.

This week, we have Apatite featured on our home page. Apatite is a gemstone with fantastic colours, tropical blue, intense teal blue and a lovely green. All the colours are natural, not due to treatment or dyeing. On the downside, Apatite is very soft (hardness of 5) and rather brittle.
