Karma Necklace

With a little help in research & development from my mother-in-law & sister-in-laws, I created a Karma jewelry line.  For the necklace, I made soldered and hammered sterling silver rings and completed the necklace with a sterling chain & clasp.  The ring is a little over an inch in diameter and the finished length of the necklace is about 17 inches. 

The earrings are 100% handcrafted by me.  The rings are the same size as I used for the necklace above, and the earwires & smaller jumprings are made from 20 gauge wire. 

You can choose from the following quotes with your purchase of either a necklace or pair of earrings:

Sea Glass . . . from the beach . . .

Over the years, I have collected sea or beach glass from Florida, Hawaii, California & Oregon.  I've also snagged some from my mother-in-law's collection and some from a neighbor from Hawaii.  As my collection increased, I learned how to bezel set stones and applied this to sea glass.  Here is my first attempt at bezel setting a piece of sea glass.  I saw a hole in the back of each pendant to let the light shine through.

Soldered & Hammered Flower on Copper Byzantine Chain 

The necklace above is a Byzantine chain woven with copper rings attached to a copper and sterling silver flower.  To make the flower, I soldered copper wire to form the petals & base of the flower.  After that, I hammered the petals to add texture.  The center of the flower is a ball of molten, hammered & textured sterling silver.  The necklace is approximately 18 inches long and finished with a handmade hook & eye clasp.  The flower measures approximately 1 3/4 inches wide.  Below is a close-up photo of the flower.  I can also make this piece in all sterling silver.
