For a big bang on the last day of the holiday deals, I’ve decided to offer, not one, not two, but many items at 50% off. Here’s the catch…These are all one-of-a-kind pieces. I will not be making these again. No one else will have these pieces in their jewelry wardrobe…at least, not made by my hand.

Without further ado, here are the items of the day:

The Top Drill and Coin Pearl Peacock Necklace…Securely hand-knotted with black silk, this exquisite necklace is composed of lustrous top drilled button pearls and elegant coin pearls. The variations in pearl sizes and shapes are brought to the eye by a large, off-center bali bead. A hint of sparkle is added with glimmering Swarovski crystals accenting the lovely and delicate top drilled button pearls.

This necklace is absolutely fabulous at its 16 1/2″ (41.91cm) length! All metal is sterling silver.

The Whirlwind Carnelian Nugget Bracelet…So irregular in their shape and faceting, these carnelian faceted nuggets are beautiful in and of themselves. Together, however, they make a fantastic bracelet that demands to be noticed! Paired with handmade whirlwind beads created by many yards of wrapped wire, this bracelet is a one-of-a-kind piece.

While this bracelet is 8 1/4″ (21.00cm) long, because of the size of the carnelian nuggets, it only fits up to a 7″ (17.80cm) wrist.

The Criss Cross Cuff – Faceted Amazonite and Volcano Ice Crystals…Always a timely classic, this criss cross cuff is made with faceted Amazonite rounds and Swarovski crystals. Dress it up or down because it goes great with jeans or your little black dress.

The cuff is stiff sitting on the wrist at 6 1/2″ (16.51cm) and 1/2″ (1.27cm) wide. All silver is sterling.

The Turquoise Wrecker Ball & Chain Necklace…Have a ball with this eye-catching turquoise colored stone topped with a turquoise dyed pearl and dazzling Swarovski Crystals on an oxidized sterling silver chain. (I wish I could tell you what the turquoise colored stone was, but I have no idea. If you know, let me know! :) )

Necklace length is 18″ (45.72 cm). All silver is sterling and oxidized for an antique finish.

The Coconut and White Nugget Bracelet…Perfect for any getaway, this tropical look bracelet is made with white glass nuggets and coconut heishe. The piece has been oxidized to make the white stand out more. Clasp is handformed and hammered for sturdiness.

The bracelet fits a size 7 1/2″ (19.05 cm). All silver is sterling.

The Coconut and White Nugget Necklace…At 43 1/2″ (110.49 cm), this is a long necklace great for draping over lean styles or for wrapping once for an asymmetrical, double strand look. It’s made with white glass nuggets and coconut heishe securely handwired to links from handmade twisted chain. The piece has been oxidized to make the white beads stand out more. Clasp is handformed and hammered for increased sturdiness. All silver is sterling.

The Garden Cluster Bangle – Pearl, Citrine and Coral Bracelet…Multiple coils of fine silver wire decorate a sterling silver bangle core decorated with Israeli-faceted citrines, olive dyed coral, coppery red pearls and golden keishe freshwater pearls.

The bracelet is 2 5/8″ (6.67cm) in diameter. All silver is sterling and has been oxidized for an antique finish.

The Criss Cross Cuff – Golden Pearls Bracelet…Always a timely classic, this criss cross cuff is made with vibrantly festive golden pearls and swarovski crystals. Dress it up or down because it goes great with jeans or your little black dress.

The cuff is stiff sitting on the wrist at 6 3/4″ (17.15 cm) and 1/2″ (1.27cm) wide. All metal is 14kt gold-filled.

The Charmed – Paua Teardrop and Chalcedony Heart Necklace…One of my favorite pieces…dyed chalcedony is paired with a matching paua teardrop shell and a vermeil charm, all hanging on an intricate 14kt gold-filled chain. Necklace closes with a handmade clasp.

The necklace measures 16″ (40.64 cm) long finished with a 2″ (5.08 cm) extender and vermeil charm. All wire is 14kt gold-filled.

The Sodalite Heart Cascades Earrings…Beautiful sodalite faceted rectangles are paired with a cascade of freshwater pearls topped with bali daisy spacers. The cascades of white are finished with an oxidized heart filigree charm.

The earrings are approximately 3 1/4″ (8.25 cm) from the top of the earwire. All silver is sterling.

Favorite Custom OrdersCriss Cross Rings!

With my feature in Daily Candy Atlanta, I was able to generate enough funds to purchase some higher quality stones and pearls. Lucky for me, there was a local show here for the day after we returned. I came home with such a huge stash (well, nothing like the Hong Kong trip, but definitely out of the normal for me), I’ve been dying to show them to you.

This first set, in order from top to bottom, is:

* Top-drilled pearls, copper color
* Coin pearls, copper color
* Potato pears, copper color
* Quartz ovals faceted
* Moonstone squares faceted and top-drilled
* A strand of mixed pairs of gems (This was the best find for me – fairly reasonable and I get a great mix of stones to play with.)
* Rutilated quartz faceted ovals (My most expensive purchase, but they were so worth it.)
* Chalcedony coins
* Prasiolite faceted ovals (My second most expensive purchase, again well worth it.)
* Smokey quartz faceted twists
* Smokey quartz rectangles
* Hessonite faceted coins
* Citrine faceted ovals
* Ametrine faceted squares
* Iolite faceted coins

The second set is a ton of rutilated quartz in 4mm and 6mm sizes and a strand of smokey quartz faceted rounds. I never realized that rutilated quartz could come in such a variance of colors until I had a conversation with another shopper at the gem show. We ended up splitting a hank of the faceted rounds. I wish I had purchased more of the 6mm rounds though. They are just too yummy.

If you live in the local area, stop by my booth at the Christmas in Central Park event and get a first hand look at these gems. I’ve already broken up several of the strands (the rutilated quartz and prasiolite ovals), but may not get a chance to post them online until after the show. Definitely worth stopping by to take a look!
