My love of flower jewelry

I have been patiently awaiting my order to start making more beautiful flower jewelry. I just love the look of them, so simple yet alluring. I started making these a year ago and have since never stopped. I've been studying mixing colors and the effects they have on the wearer. I still have more beads coming so more new products will be added in the next coming weeks. Below you will see some examples of these flower earrings.

New York City

I am super lucky to have a pretty view from my apartment. I love that I can see central park, well partially and I can see the big beautiful buildings like Times Square and the GE building. Since most of you are in other states thought it would be kewl too see a picture!

As you can see, I have a pretty great view and that's often difficult in New York unless you live super high up. Of course, I have this view because I'm on the 18th floor!

In other news, lol I was reading Vogue Magazine trying to keep up with trends. The only things that caught my eye besides the shoes, is how green eyeshadow is now the new black. As much as I like fashion (because I make jewelry I have to know something lol) it's as though we can never really be ourselves unless we continually reinvent our look. I'll admit it, I'm a jeans and t-shirt type of girl so wearing name brand anything is not on the top of my list. However, I love it when they start speaking about big and chunky. I like big clunky jewelry because they are not only kewl, but it's a statement all on its own. Wearing anything chunky looks horrible with too many pieces depending on how wide it is.  Three bangles not so wide look great together,  thin necklace connecting to a large wide pendant.  Big chunky smooth sophisticated rings are the thing for winter!  Read about that here:   http://www.vogue.com/voguedaily/2009/06/1912/  and check out the amazing photo gallery for a tremendous amount of inspiration.

Here is my little bit on big and chunky. Silvertone three stand bracelet with a toggle clasp.

New Earrings Added!

I have so much fun making jewelry, most importantly earrings. I've always believed that if you have to make a statement with jewelry, make it with earring. Earrings can take the place of necklaces and ultimately take your outfit to the next level. Especially when your hair is tussled or tied up, a bold pair of earrings lenghtens your outfit and face.

Smell the pretty flowers!

I've had this passion for making briolette flowers because they are just gorgeous! I've been working on combinations of colors and sizes. So far my favorite is the blue one (Dodecanese) and Amethyst. I just love purple and I mean purple anything! My obsession goes so far, that my walls are purple. Light purple walls I'm not that crazy? So please show some love and check out my creations.

I love flowers so naturally I couldn't resist making a pendant out of one! This one is beautiful with six amethyst briolettes wire wrapped with silver wire. In the middle are five wire wrapped purple (ab) swarovski beads. I used some goldtone wire for a different look. On top of that is a swarovski crystal clear faceted bead. The wire used to make the bail is silver artistic wire. The chain is measures about 24 inches in length. The pendant is about 2 inches in lenth.

I love flowers so naturally I couldn't resist making a pendant out of one! This one is beautifully wire wrapped with pearlescent round beads. In between the round beads are beautiful blue blossoms on top and all around the pendant. I used silver artistic wire for the bottom beads.

The chain is measures about 24 inches in length. The pendant is about 2-2 1/2 inches in lenth.
