White Jewelry Treasures

I just finished up creating these two necklaces for our four day sale at the shop I sell in, called the "French Flea".  Lots of whites with other neutrals added into the mix to create a couple of necklaces that will go with anything in ones wardrobe.  All hand wire wrapped elements in these designs.

Necklace #1

I started the design by choosing this paste style vintage rhinestone element and went from there.

Vintage grey faux glass pearls, stick style freshwater pearls, and smokey quartz faceted gemstones.

Necklace #2

My brother, Steve, found this wonderful piece of another paste style vintage rhinestone jewelry element in a box of trinkets he found at auction.  It is so great to have pickers such as Steve, that find some great finds to redesign with.  I just love to use one-of-a-kind treasures to start out my designs. such as this before photo jewelry element.  I like the fact that there are missing stones, just in case you are noticing and wondering about that.  It truly gives the pieces the time-worn patina that I strive for and create with my style of vintage redesigns.

What an incrediblly fun focal piece this is to work with.  Just loved it when Steve brought it to me.  I wanted to play up its beauty with other elements that would accent it, so went to work attempting to do such a thing.

I've included great pieces of vintage clear crystals in a variety of shapes, grey faux glass vintage pearls, various shapes of white freshwater pearls, vintage ladies gold watch w/case and diamond accents, a mother of pearl donut style element, an Eiffel tower charm, a reversible piece just below the Eiffel tower charm, gold fluted beads, rhinestone rondelles, a couple of porcelain underwear buttons, and a gorgeous sterling silver and gold heavy charm from a Brighton necklace that I recycled as well.

To me the details and finishing work when creating something is ultra important to me, and I always strive to make sure there are special details in each design I create.
