Here are my latest from Sally. Soon they will be on their way to me

Gorgeous Aqua!! Where is the stone from? I had noticed that pendant on Sally''s esty store too.

I bought it from AjsGems a few years ago, one of my first gems

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16990831 Look how beautiful her silver pendants are. It almost makes me want to buy silver, though I don''t wear it. I love her designs. I wonder what they''d cost in gold. 18K yellow with matching earrings would be lovely. And a nice gift to one of my nieices.

Hi Friends!

Just wanted to show you my Venus ring from Sally at Heart of Water.

''Sterling Silver Venus Lotus ring with an 8mm Rose Cut Rainbow Moonstone Cabochon.''

It should be here any day now.

Lori

Loriken, did this come in yet? I''d really love to see pictures!

Hi JStar!

Yes, I have it....I''m ordering a tripod so I can take good photos. My hands shake too much to get a decent shot right now. Promise to post lots of photos just as soon as I can!

Have y''all seen Sally''s new rose gold and pink tourmaline Lotus ring? I''ve asked her about ordering one.

Here is a 26" strand of little pearls and rubies I rec''d. today from Etsy seller maysjewelry. She sent it to me from Thailand and it arrived quickly. She has more of these listed with other gems. She knots the beads on silk. I saw one like this listed, but asked her to make me one in a longer length. It took her a while, as she explained she has new twins.

 

[arjunajane]

I thought I would post an update, as Julia just sent me this lovely sketch
for my three stone ring.
As a reminder, this is the one that will have a BB pink tourmaline in the middle,
and a violet spinel and oec diamond in half bezels on the sides.

With a bit of luck I should receive the ring and my key pendant in a couple weeks

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Oh aj that sketch is just gorgeous!! I hope we are more pics in the next few weeks!!

 

[LtlFirecracker]

AJ, that ring is beautiful!

My stones arrived to Sally today! She hasn''t opened it yet, but says the package looks ok. One less thing for me to worry about.

 

[jmtomaui]

PT, what are the stones that were strung with the pearls? It is a beautiful strand.

If you like pearls and stones, I have a friend on Etsy that does beautiful work with pearls and gems. She buys from some of the best pearl farms around the world and does such terrific work. She also does custom work. I encourage you to at least look her site for more fun eye candy...

AJ, what a great design! You have turned me on to Julia and she is sketching some key designs for me as well. It will have 2 J''s (hubby and my first name) and M for our last name. I''m more excited for this piece of jewelry than most of my others for some reason...

Wear your wonderful jewely in good health!

 

[arjunajane]

Thankyou MTG and ltl! I really can''t wait to see this ring develop,
I know julia will do a fab job.

thanks JM! I''m glad to hear you are designing a key too - she does
them so well. And I''m also really excited about mine for some reason.
I think after this one I will go in your direction and have an initials/symbolic
one made too.

Pls post your sketch here when it''s ready!

 

[PinkTower]

JM,
The other beads are ruby.
I think I will wear this a lot to work, and I have some enhancers I might try with the strand.
I LOVE your avatar, and I am going to look tonight and see if you have written about the piece.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will look at the site.

[jstarfireb]

Loriken - YAY! Can''t wait to see pics! I love the idea of faceted rainbow moonstone. It''s so intriguing. The moonstone I have is cabochon.

As for the rose gold/pink tourmaline lotus ring, that was going to be my choice until I heard Sally had alexandrite. I just can''t wait for my tiny little alex lotus to be finished...I''m so excited about it!

 

[jmtomaui]

AJ, yes, I will post pics as soon as I receive the sketches.

PT, I have not written about my avatar. I made it myself. I bought some beautiful FW pearls with sapphires and gold rondels. I was just learning to knot and decided to practice on this rope. It is 10 feet long and wraps about 5 - 6 times so I can get a lot of different looks out of it.

 

[PinkTower]

JT,
Maybe you can quit your day job if you can knot that well. I recently had my mother''s stand redone, it was fine except one little fray. First I looked on line to get an idea of the cost, and was stunned at how much more than that the cost was in reality.
This actual cost was five dollars an inch!!

 

[jmtomaui]

Pink, I have heard that $5.00 an inch is the going rate in most places. That is why I took a class and learned to do it myself as I had a special strand that needed to be restrung and I was not sure where to take it for the money. The class cost me $25 and I''ve become adicted to knotting.

I do create many strands mostly for gifts or sales to friends. I may someday look at Etsy to sell them. I have talked to a local boutique and may do some work for them...

I do love the rubies in yours. I have a niece w/ a July b-day and am thinking of making her one w/ her birthstone.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Wahoo!
It''s done
Here''s her shop picture, hopefully I"ll be able to take some of my own soon!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Here we go.

ETA: d'oh! Wrong thread...sigh. Sorry!

[LtlFirecracker]
