Rhodochrosite Silver Pendant Necklace


Rhodochrosite is such a pretty pink stone with soft ripples of colour passing through. Handmade silver jewellery like the piece shown to the left is stunning. Because it is handmade and the stone is natural there can never be another like it. Silver  wire wrapped jewelry is very popular with those who have been exposed to it and provide a unique and unusal approach to fashion costume jewellery.

This piece is quite small and dainty measuring only about 48x32mm in size. It is shown here on a silver display chain. Pink jewellery like this is not so girlie that a more mature person could not wear it and not so stuffy that a young lady could not wear it. This is elegant, contemporary jewellery at its best.

Emerald and Sterling Silver Pendant


This is another wow! piece. The Brazilian emerald (yes, honestly it is an emerald that has not been polished and facetted the way we are used to) is a marvellous reminder of the colours that nature provides. Its shape has been enhanced by a hand crafted (no power tools used, just a pair of hands and a pair of flat nosed pliers) steling silver setting, this form of setting is known as wire sculpture or wire wrapping. Check out the details on the back - you can see the stone is securely held in place by the sterling silver square wire.

Metaphysically it is held that Emeralds assist with maintaining strong and beautiful love, promoting marital bliss and harmony in the home. For those in the corporate world it is also held that emeralds assist with concentration and focus. In the middle ages, Green was held to be the colour of true love (as opposed to envy which it seems to be today!).

The pendant may be worn as such by threading a chain through the bail (as shown in the picture) but may also have a necklace enhancer that allows you to wear the pendant on your favourite pearl or bead necklace. Simply thread the enhancer through the bail and slip over the beads (adjust the width slightly if required).

This magnificent handmade silver wire jewelry pendant is about 45x23mm in size and is lovingly packaged in a beautiful black leatherette gift box complete with a silver plated display chain.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece and quite a unique piece of jewellery so act quickly! If you want to see this hanging round your neck click here for more details.

Nullagine Amethyst Pendant and Necklace


Hand crafted and magnificent. this wonderful Western Australian amethyst nugget mined in the Nullagine is imaginatively sculpted with sterling silver wire to create a one of a kind pendant that would be the delight of a Hollywood starlet!


Dainty and delightful, it hangs on a silver plate display chain and comes with a black leatherette gift box.


If you are interested in the metaphysical powers of amethyst, it is said to focus energy, assist in lovely dreams during sleep and to ward of drunkenness and assist in getting rid of headaches.


This stone feels good and its dainty size (just 42x25mm) is great for all occasions.


This is a piece of fashion costume jewellery that will take you anywhere.
