Something for Me - Birth Stone Bracelet



My usual computer system is down for the count and the loaner runs as fast as a wet weekend so I turned to actually doing some mailling! I know, shock horror.


Anyway I just took delivery of some very nice and shiny sterling silver, and decided I deserved a piece of jewellery.....I mean the man has decided since I now make jewellery he no longer needs to buy me any (silly boy) so it is all up to me.


This is the end result. The swarovski crystals represent my 4 children's birth stones...Diamond, Turquoise, Aquamarine and Emerald. The little lizard clasp is our "5th child" Amos, a bearded
dragon. Overall I am pretty happy with the end result.

I was lucky enough to be asked to make a set of jewellery pieces as gifts for a customer's wife....lucky wife I say! It consisted of 3 pieces, earrings, bracelet and necklace in Gold Filled and Argentium Silver.

Here are the finished items.

Earrings with Topaz Swarovski Tear Drops



























The bracelet.


























And finally the matching necklace. I added an extention chain with a topaz Swarovski Crystal to match the earrings.













And the comlete set altogether.
