METAMORPHOSIS: AUGUST REVEAL

Celtic-inspired family pendant

I was more nervous than usual about my metamorphosis design this month. As I mentioned in my intro, I was worried about using some of Vicki’s materials. She had wanted to use them to make something outside of this project but I convinced her to use them for this project instead. No pressure!

I had never used baguettes in jewellery so I was pretty excited to learn how to make settings for them! The yellow gold cirlce is hammered and the outside twisted wire is silver. The baguette settings are white gold and the bail is a combination of twister silver wire and gold jump rings.

METAMORPHOSIS; MARCH REVEAL

Amethyst Pendant

I haven’t slept in two days. True story. I’ve been so nervous.

When I started playing around with what Stef gave me, I kept going back to the idea of making a pendant. When I finished it, I realized that I made something that encompassed details she didn’t want. She said she liked big but simple or metalwork with no stones. I made her big, metalwork, and with stone.

I really wanted to make a Moroccan-style/Game of Thromes pendant and Stef had the right materials to do that! The pieces just kind of came together for this pendant where as I struggled with every other design I came up with for her.

METAMORPHOSIS: FEBRUARY REVEAL

Knuckle ring and pendant.

As previously mentioned, Amrita has a large assortment of unique jewellery she mixes and matches. Knowing that, I felt I could get away with making her something a little bolder. Something to wear to all those Indie concerts she goes to!
