Venetian Valentine – Herringbone Bracelet

Jan 26th, 2010 Posted in New Design, Valentines Day | 1 Comment »

This piece was intended to be part of a set and will be as soon as I complete the earrings. I also would like to offer a 4 mm round Pink Ruby as part of the over all price once the collection has been completed. All you need to do is email me at kystorms ( at ) live (dot) com and let me know you are interested in the set and I will be able to let you know how to purchase. The price for the bracelet, earrings with the Ruby will be 60.00 total plus 5.00 shipping.

If you would like to order this piece in time for Valentine’s Day, you must place the order by February 7th at 4 pm est.

I have long loved the play of colors often found in the old arts such as glass making. Venetian glass is always so playful and so warm, so decided to make one of my Valentines Sets in colors similar to those used in Venetian Glass.

This bracelet is 7 and 1/2 long from clasp to clasp and it is a touch over 3/4 inch wide. It is made with Delica 11/0 Beads in the following colors:

Black, Deep Pink, 22 KT Matte Gold

and also included in the work are 8/0 Seed beads in Amber Gold and 11/0 Amber Gold Lined Seed Beads.

There are 4 mm Swarovski Bicone Crystals, as well a 4 mm Hematite Gemstone rounds.

Welcome to the Sea Cliff Designs Blog

I welcome you all to the new and improved blog for Sea Cliff Designs.

I wanted to be able to still showcase and discuss various topics concerning Gemstone and Beaded Jewelry without cluttering up the website.
I hope you enjoy this blog and use it to bring new discussions and topics so that conversations can be had :-)

Today I want to start a discussion on wire wrapped jewelry. I have long wanted to take my loose  gemstones and wire wrap them for earrings , rings and pendants. I have over 200 carats of loose stones which deserve to be made into pieces that people can wear and love.

First I need to locate some tutorials for the basics. The very first ‘how to’ I found on Youtube ( which can be a great source of help and information ) is the following video entitled Jewelry Making: Wire-Wrapped Pendant

I will be building topic specific links for each area of beading, so if you have links that you would like to have included here, please drop a note and I will be sure to get them listed.
