Studio Updates: Some new work

This is the ring that I had started working a couple of days ago. I’ve been wanting to work on this design for a long time and finally it happened. This is also the 200th ring for the Ring-a-Day Project.

One black and one white pebble are combined and set in sterling silver, which has a satin matte finish.

Now more pebbles are waiting for their settings!

The other plan was to make some new bracelets by combining the macramé knots that I used for this bunch of bracelets with gemstones.

I started by gathering the gemstones:

gemstone1

gemstone2

gemstone3

gemstone4

gemstones5

gemstone6

After testing many color and shape combinations, I decided to go with a purple/orange/green color scheme:

bracelet1

Tiny faceted rondelles of carnelian, amethyst and ametrine are combined with knotted waxed linen cord and a little indian silk sari ribbon embellishment.

The chosen color scheme for the next bracelet was chocolate brown & turquoise:

bracelet2

It is made with smokey quartz and turquoise rondelles, chocolate brown waxed linen cord and a cotton fabric embellishment.

Also, some new photos of the bracelets that I had described in an earlier post:
