Latest bracelets

Here's the latest bracelets I have made - for a colleague's birthday.  She likes black and white, hence the choice of monochrome!  Above is a macrame bracelet using striped agate, rutile quartz and crackled quartz.
This is my second memory wire bracelet and I used black rutile quartz chips, black agate bicones, white pearls and silver pearls.  I am enjoying using memory wire as you don't need any findings and it is quite a meditative experience to thread the chips on.  My colleague was really pleased with the jewellery and said the the memory wire bracelet would be a 'going out' one!

    1. Thanks, Hannapat. I really enjoy jewellery making and am improving my skills as I go. It is great to be able to design, make and then wear a piece of jewellery!

    1. Thanks, Toffeeapple.
      I am considering making to sell, but the difficulty is that there are lots of other people out there making lovely jewellery, so I would need a USP (unique selling point!) Once I have worked that one out, I may well do! In the meantime, I am always happy to receive commissions (!)
