Labradorite in Woven Frame - Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Necklace

I love labradorite, it's probably the most favorite stone of mine. I put this dark labradorite briolette into a woven circle frame, that I made from sterling silver wire. I came up with this style of wire wrapping some time ago, and made several pieces using this tecnique already, but I'm still not tired of it.
I love the subtle flashes of different colors in this briolette, and faceting adds some shine and vividness to this dark stone.
Oxidized and hand polished.

Peacock Tale Necklace with Turquoise in Copper

Deeply oxidized copper and blue-green turquoise are probably my favorite combo, I created many jewelry pieces using them over time! Peacock Tale Necklace is a very special design for me, it features intricate basket weaving with wire and hammered copper spirals, all suspended on solid copper chain with a handmade clasp. This beautiful handmade necklace has ethnic feel to it and is designed to turn heads.

I oxidized the necklace in Liver of Sulphur and polished it by hand to create beautiful warm highlights.

Garnet Fans Woven Necklace in Oxidized Sterling Silver

I love how these beautiful faceted marquise shaped garnets look with oxidized sterling silver!
To create this piece I hand forged and hammered sterling silver wire and then attached the stones using hair thin sterling. The edge is wire wrapped with tiny sterling silver beads, and then everything is suspended on thin rollo chain, adorned with little faceted red garnet rounds. Necklace is finished with a spring clasp and an extension chain to adjust the length.

I oxidized the necklace in Liver of Sulfur and selectively polished it back to shine to create depth and contrast.
