Coral is always great in the summer! Ever since I had a peachy coral and lapis necklace (fake, though) when I was in my twenties, I have been in love with this mixture. So I decided to translate my fake '70s necklace into the real thing - this coral necklace is the result. I had to have a bit of sparkle in it to make it really special, thus the Swarovski clear crystals and the Swarovski large crystal coral drop. It's a discreet sparkle that you can wear out and about; you don't have to be going to the opera at the Kennedy Center! The sterling silver clasp has a cabochon lapis set into it.
Using lapis got me onto a roll, so I made three pairs of lapis earrings. The first pair has a cabochon lapis set into the earring post and sterling silver Thai Hill Tribes accents.
Lapis and pearls are classic together. Not only do these lapis earrings have lapis with sparkly gold pyrite and crystal Swarovski rounds and clover shaped freshwater pearls, they have large cabochon pearls bezel-set into flower shaped earring posts. I love these!
Lapis and gold together is my favorite combination. The fluted 14 karat goldfilled beads give a more formal look to these earrings.
This amethyst bracelet with 14 karat goldfilled accents is simple but fantastic! The flat, faceted amethyst nuggets are translucent and gorgeous with wispy inclusions.
Below, one of my handmade bracelets from the Raj Collection full of faceted and smooth rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and amethysts. All sterling silver with little flower charms from the Thai Karen Hill Tribes.
Above, this is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill freshwater pearl bracelet! These lustrous brown freshwater pearls gleam amid tiny 14 karat gold-filled accents while a gorgeous faceted smoky quartz olive-shaped focal takes center stage.
Below, a salvation bracelet that is also a bangle bracelet. Round Swarovski crystals are in the salvation colours. A heart-shaped toggle clasp is the closure. Sterling silver.
The moonstone is the traditional birthstone for June. Here is a piece of rainbow moonstone jewelry that will make you think anything but traditional! Two pretty strands of sterling silver and rainbow moonstones are accented by three clover-shaped freshwater pearls. The real stunner is the clasp: a little frog with a cabochon freshwater pearl bezel-set into its back.

Great colors in your jewelry. Sometimes I wish I did more with stones instead of just working with metals.
I don't quite have your gift, though.
Thank you, Jeremiah, such a nice compliment!
Your rings and cufflinks are awesome. Those engraved ring are really beautiful. You work with a medium I know little about and it was interesting reading about it!
