Egyptian Bracelet
Sometime ago I received a request to create a replica of a bracelet found in the tomb of King Djer, who was the second Pharoah of Egypt's 1st dynasty. The bracelets found in his tomb were originally created with Turquoise, Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli gemstones, along with pieces of gold. They were beautifully designed, using alternating colours to combine patterns. Take a look at this web page: http://touregypt.net/featurestories/picture05182004.htm.
Although, I did have Turquoise, Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli gemstone pieces, I didn't have the same sizes or shapes or even colours, of the gemstones used in these wonderful bracelets. Also, I wasn't yet working with gold but did have some wonderful silver pieces that I thought would work quite well, so I was quite excited about this challenge!
The result is shown here. I was extremely pleased with the result. More importantly, so was my customer!

Turquoise & Pearl Necklace
For the first necklace that I ever created I used Turquoise nuggets and tiny freshwater seed Pearls, with sterling silver accents.
Charoite & Silver Necklace
To create this necklace I used sterling silver wire to link lovely twisted nuggets of Charoite together, with an added touch of twisted silver spirals.
Lapis Lazuli Necklace
This was one of the first necklaces I ever created. It was a double stranded necklace with a handmade sterling silver clasp. The gemstones used were Lapis Lazuli, Labradorite and Iolite.
