New Silver Pendants

New Silver Pendants

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been working on some new Silver Pendants. They vary in size, number of jump rings required and just designs. You have already seen the "Star Pendant". It has been quite popular. It is about 3/4 inch in size. (This is the smallest in actual size - the picture is a close up)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to make one a bit bigger just for a choice. Then I found this pattern called a Celtic Star. It is about one inch in size.

 

(The pictures make the sizes deceiving, this one is the largest of the three)

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a roll, I made one from one of my favorite chain maille pattern, Byzantine. For interest, I added a blue cat eye bead. This one could be easily changed by changing the bead. For example you could have Swarovski beads, round and bicone, in Birthstone colors or what ever you would like. This design has lots of possibilities. (This is a little less than one inch over all).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have a favorite? For me, it depends on my current outfit. I like them all.

 

 

All are now available on the website. Click on the pictures or here to see.

New Chain Maille

 

 

 

As most of you know, I love to make Chain Maille jewelry. Also, most people seem to love my Chain Maille jewelry. However, it is expensive to make and therefore to purchase.

 

To help with this "dilemma" I've decided to make some Chain Maille pendants that require fewer expensive silver rings or use some colored rings and therefore offer jewelry that is more affordable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my first attempt. I saw a picture that I liked and this is the results.

 

Not too good. The smaller rings are too big and the 3 large rings are not big enough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next step was to look through my stash of rings and I found some larger red rings that had come as a sample with an order. (Most freebies are not worth anything - but these samples finally found a home.) Then I found some smaller, small rings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was somewhat of a challenge to make the pendant similar to the picture but I was progressing. The rings are now in proportion and I came up with the name "Trinity"

 

Here is a close up of the results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have some more ideas that I'm working on for new pendants and hope to show some more next week.

 

How do you like this direction? Starting with the Star pendant last week and the Trinity pendant this week?

 

I really don't like to be stuck in a rut so I'll still be doing other types of jewelry but I really want your opinions. So, here is  your chance: Bev, this is what I think.
