Latest Projects - Textured Copper Earrings - Various Gemstones

I can't believe how fast December has been going by! Besides being busy with custom orders, I have been working on some new projects as well. I have gotten a few listed in Etsy shop. I just finished a charm bracelet for a very special friend for Christmas. I can't post a pic yet, because it's a surprise! After I give it to her, I will definitely post some pictures of it. I would love to hear some feed back on these new designs. If you have any suggestions or have something you would like to see, let me know!


I made copper components from reclaimed copper sheet, that I hand cut and then hammered using various texture hammers. Then I gave them a patina finish using liver of sulphur gel to "antique" the copper. On the green jade earrings and the turquoise magnesite earrings, I also added some gilder's paste to the copper to match the colors in the gemstones. It really enhances the colors in the beads. The other 2 pairs of earrings are made using picasso jasper beads and I really love the look of the textured copper pieces with them. And I personally love the detail that the picasso jasper have, they are natural are in bead!
