Labradorite in Suspension Sterling Silver Earrings

Notes from the Artist:

I took a trip to NYC’s Bead District a while back and picked up an array of semi-precious stones from a 36th Street shop. It was owned by a lovely little Hindu woman whose life story I got to hear while she took about twenty minutes to package up my items! These labradorite nuggets are my favorite of all that I bought that day. The photos really don’t do justice to the gorgeous blue-green shimmer that these stones possess; the light bounces off them beautifully, especially in the sunlight.

Summer Brights Beaded Necklace

Notes from the Artist:

The beads really spoke to me on this one! I purchased these gorgeous matte glass cylinder beads in a wide variety of colors; when the bright blue and lime green beads landed next to each other, I knew they would make a great combination. I had had the focal bead in my stash for a while, just waiting for the right pairing; this was it! I love how the texture and shine of the silver foil in it contrasts with the matte glass of the other beads. Gorgeous for summer (thus the name of Summer Brights Beaded Necklace), but a great pop of color year round.
