A Great Necklace for All Year Round

Vibrant colors are in but Turquoise is always in. I paired the Turquoise with Coral teardrops for a color contrast. It remind me of summer but this necklace can be worn all year round! Its quite vibrant and is a delight to the eye. There is an enamel pendant placed on the side which you can wear on the left or the right. The enamel pendant has turquoise stones imbedded into the design. There is an 3" extension chain so the necklace can be worn longer. http://www.youniquedesignsjewels.com/necklaces.php


Busy In My Studio With Metal Work!

I have been back in the studio with my Flex Shaft and wire soldering 3 bezels onto my new project. I think it turned out pretty well and I am happy with the design! For folks who are setting stones by hand but are experiencing hand or wrist pain, I purchased a Flex Shaft Anvil attachment which works very well in setting stones. You have to practice alot before you try it on your final piece. I paired the piece with a 16" Omega Necklace to keep the look simple and not overwhelm the piece. I am selling this piece on my website at: http://www.youniquedesignsjewels.com/necklaces.php

Silver Deco Pendant For Joan


I finally finished my labor of love. This piece was designed for a client of mine. He gave it to his wife for her birthday today. He had the two smokey topaz stones since 1998!! It is made of sterling silver and copper accents. It took awhile to get it right but I'm happy now.....
