Here are some of the newest pieces from Cluny's workbench.
From the Leslie Turtle line.
Amethyst and Lampwork
More purple for the Leslie Turtle line.
Pink opal blends with soft violet with very happy results!
First, iolite rondelles paired with translucent tulip rose quartz beads, lacey Turkish sterling silver, and a big, nice clear pink briolette make a necklace that is very ladylike but also unique. The set has matching earrings and is currently up for auction on Ebay under the user name chloemarie99 or just search for Cluny Grey.
Below, the 2 sugilite beads and the lampwork bead by Gumeson Designs are really the same colours; the photo does not do them justice.
I love this style of bracelet, my signature. Two strands give you the best of both worlds: a charm bracelet and a traditional strung bracelet with different sizes and styles of beads. Here pink Peruvian opals mingle with rose quartz and some artist's lampwork beads.
This is the "yummiest" colour! The pool is behind the necklace and echoes its colour!
A 44 inch long lariat that you can tie, or as we prefer, loop it through itself. At this length, it would also work as a belt. The small turquoise glass beads are seeds and bugles that are silver-lined.
This is a tourmaline rough nugget bracelet. The small round beads are genuine natural rubies.
These are lepidolite earrings. Purple is supposed to be big this Fall. For more Fall colours, go to my blog at http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com .
Finally, some citrine nugget earrings: they're very simple, but a great colour!
Cherry quartz slab is the focal bead, but these cherry quartz emerald cut nuggets are wonderful. Bali sterling silver beads, and a Bali sterling silver twisted toggle clasp. Gearing up for Fall!
A bracelet made with silver and blue and amethyst lined artbead (I love these beads; as soon as I got them, I ordered more!). European "bumpy" beads and Karen Hill Tribe sterling silver are mixed with them, and a sterling silver toggle clasp finishes the bracelet off. Below are the matching earrings, very simple, but just right to go with the bracelet; a necklace is coming.
To celebrate August and its peridot birthstone is a 2 strand bracelet of nice peridot gemstone rounds with sterling silver. The clear beauty of the peridot shows through and the Turkish cones which serve a utilitarian purpose become part of the beauty of the bracelet. I love Turkish silver. The bracelet is finished with a toggle clasp.
The peridot gemstone necklace matches the bracelet with the same peridot gemstone rounds. It ends with a Bali sterling silver "S" clasp. The pendant is a real beauty with 2 bezel-set faceted peridots set in sterling silver. The design looks great with the green peridot, and the 2 faceted stones in the pendant are gem quality; they really sparkle.
