Smokey Quartz and Sterling Silver Twisted Rings Earrings

Smokey Quartz and Sterling Silver Twisted Rings Earrings
Originally uploaded by Originals By Terri Handmade Jewelry

I went to Cape Cod 2 weeks ago and bought 2 blue jasper teardrop beads. I made a pair of earrings similar to these and posted them on my store. I have to say I was very surprised when they sold in no time. Well I just can't get up and run to Cape Cod again to buy those beads so I decided to make them using faceted smokey quartz teardrops. I have to say I am just as happy with these earrings. I really think these two colors compliment each other very well, a very earthy yet elegant combination.

The funny thing is these twisted rings were meant for something totally different when I bought them. Yet when I got them in they were not soldered as stated, so I had to use them for a decorative design and I think it worked out well.

Cape Cod Blue

I went to Cape Cod last weekend and they have a beautiful bead store there called The Bead Emporium of Cape Cod. I was with my husband and 2 kids so needless to say I really couldn't spend as much time in there as I wanted to, but I did have enough time to buy these beautiful faceted blue jasper teardrops. They dangle from a stack of sterling silver twisted rings attached to sterling silver ear wires I made (my first ones) with a crystal quartz rondell.

I was very excited that right after I listed these on my Etsy shop somebody bought them!!

Look what I put together with my new marble beads

I have to say when I got these new marble beads in I was really unsure of what to do with them. But I do think grey can really go with just about everything, so I decided to mix a little of everything together and this is what I came up with.

Marble teardrops in swirls of grey that are topped with a cluster of faceted Rhodolite Garnets in a fuchsia shade, Iolite, Apatite in a shade of emerald green, Freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, Faceted Labradorite and Faceted Smokey Quartz rondells. All 925 Sterling silver findings. Apprx length is 1 1/4 inch from the bottom of ear wire.

More New Beads!!

I really just needed to buy some earring hooks and head pins and well......It's kind of like eatting a potato chip once you start you just can't stop. But I really didn't do to much damage, I just bought a few strands.

I love the look of cluster earrings they are so versitile, so I purchased some Botswana Agate, Faceted Smokey Quartz, Rhodolite Garnet, Faceted Clear Quartz, Apatite Heishi Beads

Black Agate Teardrops, Fancy Marble that looks like terracotta and Black Marble that is more of a milky black grey swirl teardrops. Don't forget to visit my shop to see the finished pieces!!

New Beads Just In!!

I just got some new beads in , Labrdorite teardrops, Clear crystal quartz rondells, Bright red coral, Raspberry quartz, Smokey quartz faceted teardrops, a large blister pearl focal and sterling silver findings.

Sometimes when I get an order in there is so much in it that I get overwhelmed. It can take me up to a week or more before I can put any ideas together. But this time I went easy and bought just a few beads and already had ideas for them. Can't wait to get started!

Don't forget to check out my Etsy store for the new pieces!!
