In the previous blog post you will notice a variety of "Steampunk" styled jewelry.  This was a special request via Julie, the owner of "The Loft", so I tried my hand at my version of the look.  What do you think?  Do you like it?  Is it too rough or industrial for your tastes?  Input appreciated through your comments is greatly needed.

So the previous three photos showcase the same piece of jewelry.  The different views of it should give you a great feel for the look it has.  I adore this piece, and am tempted to keep it in my private collection, but alas I can't keep everything I love.  The uniquiness of this piece is how elegant it is with a littel black dress, how it could easily be a bride's necklace for her wedding (something old), and how cool this would also look with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.  This is a converstation garnering piece for sure, but isn't over the top and gaugy like many convo pieces tend to be.

 Necklace #2 of the Duet
SOLD

This gorgeous focal on this necklace is a vintage pave' set stone piece and is a fabulous find.  It is accented with a piece of gorgeous pale blue silk ribbon, a baroque faux glass pearl, vintage rhinestone rondelle, and a vintage moonstone glass bead.

This photo shows how well this vintage focal pulls together the rest of the necklace design. I've used pale blues, silver and grey to create the look of a calm summer sky.

A gorgeous religious charm dipicates Jesus carrying His cross, pale blue silk ribbon, and a floral attachement.

Here is necklace #2 shown on my dress form, so that you can have a visual of its total length.
