The Grape Fizz Necklace.

First: these beads are not pink. They, due to crappy camera syndrome, look pink. They are more of a blueish lavender. Sorry for any confusion...
This necklace is an Adorn Me jewelry one of a kind (OOAK) creation. It was named Grape Fizz, because there are various kinds of purples through it, and the lavender milk stone kind of glows, and depending upon the kind and amount of light, it almost looks a little blue (in spite of how it looks quite pinkish in these photos -- the pink is not true). This necklace is a little magical.

Found in Botswana, Africa, Botswana Agate is a rather hard gemstone. It is composed of banded Chalcedony (which gives it some of its glow).

The pendant itself is 1 7/8" long, and is also comprised of two amethysts and sterling silver. It hangs from a semi-woven necklace made of various iridescent Czech glass beads, milky lavender glass beads, mauve iridescent freshwater pearls, hematite seed beads and a nice hand-wrought silver heart charm (with pearl and glass) near the 'S' closure.

I know the challenges of accurately photographing jewelry without an obscenely expensive photo studio, and so often I see someone say how a piece of jewelry they've photographed just cannot be done justice. I often nod my head, because I know it's sometimes true. So I'll just say about this necklace that none of these photos do it justice.

The necklace is 22 1/4" long, and an decorative extension chain could be made for it, if needed.

Supposedly, according to those who keep track of such things, Eye Agate, or Botswana Agate, enhances sexual energy by giving physical stamina. Guess it can't hurt, anyway. This necklace is priced at $123.00. Matching earrings can be made, if you so desire.

Welcome!

Welcome to Adorn Me jewelry!

Jewelry, and even more specifically, a love of stones, metals, pearls and elements of jewelry-making, has been a lifelong passion -- one that has never dimmed or dulled over time.

Adorn Me jewelry has a focus on making unique pieces that will never have its exact match, even when the same materials are used, because of the differences in stones, and because the technique is far removed from assembly line jewelry (have done assembly line type of jewelry creation and it's mind numbingly boring -- never again!).

Adorn Me makes jewelry for all sizes of bodies, but there is a special focus on very large women who have a hard time finding unique, beautiful necklaces, bracelets and anklets in their size.

Adorn Me is happy to take special orders. If there is something specific you are looking for, please drop an email and we'll set it up. The contact form on Adorn Me's home site at AdornMeJewelry.net is set up for that, but there's not much else there yet, as making jewelry has been priority one so far.

This first set was custom made for a client who likes bracelet and earring sets.

My client likes this enough that she now wants a matching necklace, which will be in the works shortly. Materials used are pink-y plum blister pearls, fresh water pearls, amethyst nuggets, a variety of glass beads, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. She prefers a lobster claw clasp on the bracelet, so that is what was used. The bracelet is 9" long and the earrings about 1 3/4" from the ear wire drop.

These next photos are of the set in alternate lighting, so the colors show up a bit differently, and just for the heck of it, a closeup of a fresh water pearl and one of the glass beads.

Wire-wrapping is a time-consuming art, and therefore fetches a higher price than when just strung beads. It's a joy, though. Been doing this for decades now and it doesn't get old.


This last photo is of the focal point of the bracelet. It is a cluster of pearls, amethysts and glass beads held together by sterling silver wire. The blister pearls spark iridescent hues of blues, purples, red, pinks, fuschia and silver, while the fresh water pearls have their own soft glow. Finally, the glass beads give off their own varied glimmer. This is an excellent set to wear dressed down a bit during the day. But at night -- at night, dressed in your finery, a set like this would flicker, twinkle and spark on the surface of your skin.


Still working on image quality and trying to make improvements. I just think I will need a new camera at some point, so please forgive the less than stellar photos.
