milleniumgypsy: (Neopets- Taelia's necklace)
Scottie made me the most beautiful necklace and earring set as a surprise! They are so pretty! I am a lucky woman. :3

BLue Abalone Beaded necklace

Beaded Flower Earring with Abolone leaf

This are pictures from his flickr photostream. :3 He also has an entry on his journal about them. He's [livejournal.com profile] tanvan. :3

I just love everything about them!

All of the wirework was custom made for the jewelry, he even made a swan clasp out of the same wire (though that's not pictured). :3

Ooooh, pretty! I love the color, especially the fact that he matched findings to the beads. Lovely!

Oh no, he didn't match findings to beads. All of the wirework he did by hand, he matched the wire to the beads! ;)

I love the color too! :D

Thank you!

To be clear, the only findings in the picture that I didn't make are the ear wires. All the jump rings, head pins, etc... are hand formed. Except for one jump ring on the center piece all the wire is 22 gauge. The center jump ring is made from 20 gauge wire. I had wanted something more substantial there.

Off camera there is a small length of chain on the necklace that was purchased but the clasp was hand formed.

Ah, I see! From a quick glance I would have guessed you used titanium or niobium eye pins. You do beautiful work!

Also... Firefly icon FTW!

I always look forward to invsagoth's posts... so much creativity between you two. It always inspires me to get my butt in gear on my own projects.

Thanks. It's actually a great compliment that my work looks like I used pre-made findings.
