Mid-Week Mutterings - Peach Moonstone Necklace Lanyard

Here's another "Baroness" necklace lanyard - because I don't have the clasps on yet, I'm showing just the front. I used peach moonstone rounds, pale mauve Swarovski pearls, small disk shaped shells that vary from light peach to ivory to pale mauve shades and 4mm CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements bicones in a pale pink with tiny gold plated TierraCast™ petaled beadcaps. Those beadcaps are a real workhorse in my jewelry designs - I try to keep a couple hundred in the stash at all times.

I've done a lot of pieces that explore various design types, but this romantic, old-fashioned look is always my favorite and I keep going back to it.

My company has started an internal classifieds on our company intranet and I'm thinking about putting up an ad about my jewelry lanyards. It's free, so that's a huge plus! I'm pretty much decided to do it, just really thinking about how I want to word my ad. They allow pictures, too.

Hope all is well, wherever you are. See you tomorrow!

Very Brassy!

Just a quick post to show off the set I finished last night. I actually had it all done but the final touches on the bracelet in time to wear to work yesterday (big all hand's meeting to attend, so I try to show off something that might get noticed, unfortunately it didn't get any comments if it did) I added the dangles to the bracelet last night.

From Top to Bottom: Bracelet, necklace, earrings, badge lanyard

Made from 3 kinds of antiqued brass chain, moonstones, brass wire beads (do those have a name?), and some cool geometric brass links.

My daughter is coming home for Spring Break today and I've been pre-scheduling some posts to keep the blog current - so keep visiting.

I hope you all have a wonderful week - I know I will!
