Easter Eggs

I found these solid sterling silver Easter egg charms and the boys picked out the colors. Recycled glass beads and gemstones are handwired with the charms to make dainty Spring necklaces for their friends. Happy Easter!

Faithful Necklace

This piece, with another artisan Mission-style cross, was created as an Easter gift. Again, using shades that are most often seen during this season, I picked purple for my mother-in-law. I still have another cross and would be happy to make a similar piece for you. Please contact me for a quote.

An artisan sterling silver Mission-style cross hangs at the center of this one-of-a-kind necklace and is handwired with faceted amethyst nuggets, recycled purple glass, freeform fluorite nuggets, and smooth fluorite rounds. The necklace closes in the rear with a sterling silver hook clasp.

Lacrimi de Cristo Necklace

Lacrimi de Cristo. Tears of Christ.

Okay, so admittedly I am not a theist, but when I saw these artisan Mission-style crosses, I wanted to create some pieces for those who do believe, using in shades that are most often seen during this season; the colors used in the sanctuary for most of Lent is purple, red violet, or dark violet.

An artisan sterling silver Mission-style cross hangs at the center of this one-of-a-kind necklace and is handwired with rough freeform pyrope garnets, frosted Burma rubies, and round purple charoite. The necklace closes in the rear with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

I created this as an Easter gift for my mom, but have three other crosses and would be happy to make a similar piece for you. Please contact me for a quote.

Purple Bunny Choker

With Easter only three weeks away, I decided that I needed to use all of my sterling bunny buttons in jewelry this week. 

This Spring-hued choker - in soft and muted purples - features a sterling silver bunny button. Perfect for Spring, for Easter, or anytime!

The sterling silver button is handwired with smooth amethyst nuggets, faceted amethyst nuggets, fluorite rounds, recycled purple glass, and tiny garnet and rose quartz rounds to form this one-of-a-kind choker.

Another faceted amethyst nugget dangles as a focal point below the rabbit. The necklace closes in the rear with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

Spring Bunny Choker

I love these sterling silver bunny buttons!  This choker is softer-hued - Spring green, earthy grey, and muted purple - than the first piece I did.  It's perfect for Spring, for Easter, or anytime!

The sterling silver button is handwired with smooth prehnite nuggets that have lots of earthy grey inclusions, a deep purple agate druzy, and sterling silver to form this assymetrical choker.  Another prehnite nugget dangles as a focal point below the rabbit. The necklace closes in the rear with a sterling silver lobster clasp.
