Mom's Byzantine Bracelet


Well, I just got my latest ring order the other day, and this is the first thing I made from it :). It's just a simple byzantine chain made from sterling silver and ice blue enamelled copper, but my mom has been oohing and ahing over the byzantine chain I have on my wrist for the longest time. So this one's for her!



Here's some good news too!! I made a sale the other day! My mom took a bunch of jewelry I've made into her work and one of the ladies there bought a bracelet I made! I don't actually have a picture of it though, because I only made it to learn the weave (GSG).

New Ring Order!

Welp, I just placed a new ring order. It has been quite some time since I have ordered any rings, so I am pretty excited!! I spent $80 on 2 ounces of silver and an ounce each of a bunch of different colours of enamelled copper. Enamelled copper is GORGEOUS. The colours are very vibrant and beautiful and everytime I see people using enamelled copper rings I always think to myself "gee, I really need to order some of that!" but never actually get around to doing so. But I finally bit the budget bullet and now the rings are on their way... or being packaged... or the order's being processed and then the rings'll be packaged and THEN they'll be on their way. But the point is, the order is placed, and the rings will be coming my way... eventually. Then hopefully I'll have some pretty new things to post here!



But for now, here's a pretty little bracelet I made for my mom. Just regular old european 4 in 1 made in sterling silver. Really simple, but SO pretty.

Finally... Something new!

Well, the large projects I keep talking about STILL aren't done. But here's a little something I finished up tonight. I started working on these earrings MONTHS ago and I completely forgot about them until tonight! So without further ado...
