Custom Design - Beach Baby

This necklace/bracelet set is named Beach Baby, because it so evokes the sea and all things beach, from the colors to the stones, from the silver dolphin beads, to the pearls, which come from the ocean. It was commissioned by a client who loves the beach, who loves dolphins, and who wanted a bit of that feel to wear as jewelry.

The necklace and bracelet use basically the same findings: nuggets of apatite (the teal-colored stones) and amazonite (all the rest; amazonite naturally has a color range of blues, greens, whites and browns), sky blue and silver Czech beads, rice fresh water pearls, nautical-themed Bali silver toggles, and three types of dolphins in sterling silver. The neckace has a larger, curled dolphin and two tiny jumping dolphins, as in the detail photo.

The bracelet has a sterling dolphin puff focal bead, and they each have little drops made of the tiny jumping dolphins and Czech glass beads.

What a pleasure it was to create this set -- both the creation and the interaction with our client.

La Boheme

This pair of earrings are a striking, bohemian mixture of color, shape and texture.
The metal James used is copper, and the ear wires are hand made and have lovely rosy copper ball tips.

At the top are beautiful 10mm Czech glass squares with a colorful Picasso finish, as well as a nice brush texture. They look somewhat subdued until you get them into the light.

Next are premium quality faceted slab-cut Czech beads, 8.5mm in size. They have shades of crimson red and deep orange within them; top and bottom is a Picasso effect to give the appearance of age.

At the bottom are 18mm rectangular purple and orange crazy lace agates. These stones range from opaque to slightly transparent, and they pick up the light nicely. They all combine to make an eclectic, artsy pair of earrings, and would look great with a flowing, Bohemian, outfit. They are 2" long, and sell for $19.50, plus a reasonable shipping fee.

Cinderella's Coach

Silly name, yes, but whenever I see these pumpkin Czech glass beads I think of pumpkins, and with all of the pink involved, it seems appropriate.

These lovely, original earrings were designed and crafted by James. In the middle is Czech glass with bronze tops and bottoms, held on each side by little Czech glass flowers with pink and gold iridescence. Next are little fire-polished Czech beads that sparkle and glow. At each end, pink Swarovski pearls.

In person, these look very sparkly and girlie, and with all the pinks and golds, regal. They are 2 1/4" long and are held together with copper bead headpins and copper ear wires.

These dressy little numbers sell for $17.50, plus a reasonable shipping fee. They can be purchased by using the contact form at www.adornmejewelry.net.

An Eclectic Mix

These earrings are an eclectic mix of colors, textures and styles, but they work. Starting in the middle are fantastic Czech glass beads with great colors and glow. Working the way out are little coppery tulip flower beads, then AB Tanzanite Swarovskis, and finished off with dark gray Swarovski pearls. They were hand made by James with copper findings and hand-made rosey copper ear wires. They are 2" long, from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the beaded headpin.

I think because of the mix of colors and styles these earrings truly can dress up or down -- jeans or velvet, or jeans and velvet!
