'Nother Treasury!

This is another treasury I made on Etsy yesterday. This is pretty fun, I think I need to work on getting some more! It's a great way to showcase all the great designers on Etsy (including me :) ).


The theme is "Creatures of the Sea". I tried to go for a darker, moodier color scheme. The piece from my own shop that I featured is the "Sea Change" bracelet, which is one of my high-end pieces. It features chalcedony onion briolettes in three different shades, which blend from light to dark along the length of the piece. Freshwater pearls accent the chelcedony. All of the stones/pearls are individually wire-wrapped on sterling silver head pins, and hand-linked together so the wire wraps form a chain. This is a very time consuming way of working, but the results are really amazing. I really enjoy this technique and plan to incorporate it more in future designs.
