Sea Cliff Designs Blog

I have been getting some interest in my Venetian Valentine Bracelet , some have asked me about doing the design in other color schemes such as black and gold and navy and gold so I will be bringing those ideas to life . If you have interest in this idea, and have color ideas in mind, please let me know. Special orders cost no more than the normal price, I  only change the prices if the size is increased or gemstones are added in.

Here is a link to the bracelet in question -   http://seacliffdesigns.kystorms.com/2010/01/26/venetian-valentine-herringbone-bracelet/

Custom Choker, matches Moonlight on the Pacific Cuff

This is my first official Choker and I am really pleased with how it turned out. The main stitch is Herringbone with Swarvoski Crystals throughout . There are seed Pearls in White at each and and it is finished with Silver tone clasps with Black Velvet Ribbon for the ties. I choose to use the Velvet ribbon because I felt that chain would bite into the customers neck. She seems really happy with my choice so I will make this an option for all further Chokers.

This is the cuff that the choker inspired -

I also have a few new designs almost done which I will post here in a day or so. I am readying my website as well, taking it down as Website  Tonight web and instead making it my own construction. I just felt that as a designer I should have a look that speaks to my work and I can not achieve that with a stock programs themes etc.

I came across a really nice looking forum that I wanted to pass along for those who like myself wish to learn more about the gemstones they own – Mason Dixon Rock & Mineral Club.
I am including Gemstone information on the blog because for a few years now I have owned over 200 carats of various types of gemstones and have been muddling along trying to learn all I can about Identification. Not an easy task with out a formal education I can assure you but you CAN learn from helpful forums.

I will be posting some photographs of my stones here today, so keep an eye out for that as well.

I have finished my custom order piece, a choker made to match my Moonlight on the Pacific Cuff. The customer wished for silver to replace the gold as the change as well as replacing the bronze gold pearls with white silver toned.

 This piece is one of my most favorite designs because of the significance, I found early on in my work that nature and my life are important influences on what I design. As you can see the Gold Delica beads are a main portion of the piece in the center but I made sure to not over power the design ,  giving balance with the deep midnight Blue Delica beads and crystals.

The photo below is the finished choker sans the clasps as I am placing a velvet ribbon at the customers request on two toggles of silver.

This work is a made to order piece, if you are interested please IM me here with your design ideas.
