Fine, Hand-Crafted Ceramic Pendants, Components & Jewelry

Annoucement:

I'm having a baby and I'm preparing for my life as a new mommy! I will be discontinuing my line of ceramic pendants and components at this time. Soon, I will be closing my Etsy Shop and this blog as well. However, I will continue to make beaded jewelry designs! I must continue to create and jewelry is my passion. Please join me over at my new blog www.erinsiegeljewelry.blogspot.com. Thank you for your support!

"The Birth of Venus" ABS challenge


My entry for the current ABS Challenge. A necklace inspired by "The Birth of Venus" painting by Botticelli. The centerpiece is my own handmade ceramic leaf pendant accented with Hill Tribe silver nuggets and a fresh-water pearl. The pendant is hand-knotted onto Irish waxed linen cord along with a Hill Tribe silver shell focal bead, fresh-water pearls and Peruvian Opals. Finished off with an XL sterling silver lobster claw clasp and a few more silver nuggets and a pearl.

I decided to make this piece available in my Etsy Shop. Now, I don't usually sell finished jewelry and I don't plan on making a habit of it. I like to focus my attention on making the jewelry components, not the jewelry! LOL! But I would like to offer a few pieces now and then when I feel I have made something that is representative of my personal style. I hope you like it! Thank you!
