what i've been working on...

i took a little time off from making anything new because i started to feel kind of burnt out on metal and stones and jewelry entirely, but i feel reinvigorated and have fresh new ideas i want to bring to life!  here's what i've been working on the last few weeks...




























since these earrings have really caught on and are currently the most popular item in my shop, i've also used the same idea to make that heart bracelet as well as a ring i still need to get photographed.  i've decided that pyrite is my new favorite stone to work with, so be on the lookout for more of it!

what have you been working on lately?

    Danielle, this stuff is beautiful! The stones you choose are always incredible. Where do you find them? Mineral and rock shows?

    Your jewelry is just so gorgeous. I love that second to last necklace. Ooooo man do I love it! I wish I could say I am working on something pretty like your pieces but my kitchen renovation is still going strong and taking up all my time!

    O.O Gorgeos. Purely gorgeous! I love every single piece. The fourth image down - the necklace - reminds me of vampires... I hope that doesn't bother you, because coming from me, it's a HUGE compliment. Just the red-dsy stone and the way the golden points are, well, pointy... Yes, red-dsy and pointy. I iz using technical termz.

    Oh wow. I love the third photo down - with the really raw looking stone! The direction you're taking your jewellery in is totally awesome.
    I'm massively burnt out on jewellery making at the moment. I haven't had much time to do anything new (apart from make gifts for loved ones) recently due to flat hunting/moving faff. But my new flat has space for me to set up a proper craft area and I'm hoping that'll help me slowly get back into it!

    Lady, those studs make me want to put more (unstretched) holes in my ears! I love them! No wonder they are so popular. I haven't been working on anything but oodles of design work for school.....and recovering from the worst stomach virus I have ever had. Third world food poisoning had nothing on this one. Hope you are well, miss our emails xo
