Gorgeous new wave rings



This ring was made using 2mm square sterling silver wire that has been shaped into a wave and hammered for texture. Dotted intermittently around the band are six little 9k gold flattened balls.

I love the colour of rhodolites. They are a pink variety of garnet, and work well with both gold and silver. This ring is 2mm sterling silver square wire that has been shaped into a wave and hammered. I then added intermittent 9k flattened gold balls, and a 3mm faceted rhodolite set in 9k gold.
This ring also looks nice when worn with a similar ring that also has a rhodolite as part of the decoration.
For sale here: Rhodolite, silver and gold ring  and silver and gold wave ring

Hammered bangle

This bangle started life as 3mm round wire. I had to taper the ends to make them thin enough to wrap around each side. Due to the hammering, the main body of the bangle has a square profile. It is marginally adjustable and can be opened a little bit to ease putting it on. When it's on, it can be squeezed a little bit smaller. This is a small bangle (6cm - 6.25cm diameter), but I have just about enough wire to make a bigger one if you would like! It is for sale in my Boticca shop.

Mystery

Last year I made two really cute sterling silver charm bracelets with genuine Murano glass beads (bought in Venice, by me), topaz, jade, rock crystal and Chinese characters. I thought they'd be really popular and sell like hot cakes. Not so, BUT, and this is the mystery, they are the most searched for item when I look at my Feedjit data! How very strange... If you too want to have a look at them, they're here: http://alphabettispaghetti.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-charm-bracelets-with-beads-and.html
and for sale here, in my Dawanda shop: Xi for happiness and Shou for longevity
 

I think they'd make nice presents, but I would...
