Things of Metal and Stone

"Clockwork Industry: Parts I-III"

These pendants were created as a series of three in the same theme.
Using materials such as wire, chain, nuts, semi-precious stones and 

other found objects, a fine balance has been created between

delicacy and heavy-duty industry.

*

Part I:

 

Freshwater pearls coupled with peridot and pastel green 

seed beads lend a lively and verdant feel to the pendant.

*

Part II:

 

Second in the series, peridot and purple tinged pearls give a 

rosier, earthier tone to this pendant.

*

Part III:

 

Elegant space age: Classic black and white theme moved
into the 21st century, with black seed beads, freshwater pearls
and perfect spheres of hematite that are reminiscent of miniature ball bearings.

***

"Pearls & Oysters"

Studs created using a combination of pearls, semi-precious stones and metallic bits and pieces. The stones used are either hematite (grey), garnet (dark red) or peridot (green).

"Green Eggs and..."

Studs created using delica beads, chain and nuts set with peridot.

"Legal Tender: Parts I-IV"

Series of four pendants, the designs of which were created 

around faux coins.

Employing my usual materials of wire, chain, nuts, 

semi-precious stones, these

pendants have an earthy and rustic feel.

Lengths of chain at the base of each pendant 
add movement and fluidity 
to the pieces.
