This is a beautiful pendant, made completely by hand. Almost as if mother nature become my hands and wrapped and wrapped this gold filled jeweler’s wire; all in preparation for the little fresh water pearls to be snugly held in place so you can adore them as if they were your babies.
This will be added to my jewelry site this week.

New use of a button: I was inspired by someone on one of my
jewelry forums who created a Sterling Silver Rose Ring out
of Silver Sheet. I just loved it.
My version is shown. I found a small button, made a polymer clay mold,
and then took an impression from the mold. After baking, I used Pearl Ex
powder to enhance the rose. Looking to seal the powder onto the clay, I
coated the top with clear nail polish. Hey, another use for Sally Hansen product…Hard as Nails.
When dry, a hole was drilled through the center and I then wrapped the pendant.
I think it turned out lovely.

By the way, the background is a cut apart tissue box.

I started making this style of pendant in November 2006. It is a great selling
item and I enjoy using a placemat cut apart for the base of the pendant.
Who doesn’t love shopping, and I had a mission…for placemats! Found them
and had fun, too.

Enjoy,
