Sneak Peek..........

Sneak Peek...........

So I told you I have been crazed with creating lately! This is a sneak peek at another piece from my Luxe Bohemian Collection. It is in the finishing stages, so I still have to finish the clasp, oxidize the focal piece, buff, tumble and polish, then voila! It will be listed in my shop shortly, but here are some pictures to tease just a bit..............




I'm really in LOVE with this one-it will be hard to let go of for sure. Topaz is one of my favorite stones to work with. Aside from it's amazing sparkle, Topaz comes in SOOOO many scrumptious colors and shades it's design possibilities are just endless. In this bracelet I've used gorgeous Sky Blue Topaz faceted ovals, loads of London Blue Topaz rondelles, Sky Blue Topaz full briolettes, London Blue Topaz pear briolettes, and GORGEOUS SPARKLY Champagne Quartz Marquis. MmMmMmMm I'm in L O V E!!!!

I haven't named this lovely yet, so if you have any suggestions I would LOVE to hear them! Leave your suggestions in the comments.............

xoxo,
Amber

These earrings are brand spankin' new, hot off the Blue Scarab bench:)

Flawless Smooth Polished White Topaz briolettes in a generous 15mm size dangle below a sparkling cluster of faceted White Topaz rondelles. Nestled above this cluster of luscious sparkliness is a large and plump Mystic Slate Blue Quartz rondelle. This is such a lovely color and really compliments the White(clear)Topaz. All Sterling Silver as usual:)

These would be superb Bridal Earrings, with a nice hint of "Something Blue". Yummy!



These gorgeous earrings are currently listed in my Etsy shop-just click on the pictures to go!

More to come very soon, maybe today!

Luxe Bohemian Collection

I am re-introducing a collection I have been dabbling back and forth in called Luxe Bohemian Collection. I started creating these Luxe pieces about a year and a half ago, and although I absolutely LOVED making these elaborate and intricate pieces, I just didn't have the time and energy to put into them. And I knew that I really had to market myself and this collection to gain a following and respect for such work as an artisan, and I am ready to jump in it with full heart now. So I am re-introducing my Luxe Bohemian Collection to you! Enjoy!





Luxurious.Bohemian.Romantic.You.

Fine Sterling Silver designs dripping in layers of ultra riche, top quality Gemstones. Romantic in Feeling and Luxurious in Looks, this Bohemian collection steps out of the ordinary and into extra-ordinary. Luxe piece featuring an Ornate focal that has been artistically coiled, oxidized, polished and adorned with the finest Gemstones and Silver Beads to create a one of a kind look.

When one chooses the jewelry they wish to adorn themselves with, it should be Beautiful, Unique, and most importantly, You. I believe that ones jewelry tells a story about them. What do you want your jewelry to say?



"I r i s"







::I r i s::

The IRIS necklace is composed of an intricate Sterling Silver focal piece with layers of elegant swirls and coils entwined around the oval base. A single Mystic Topaz briolette hangs above Mystic Topaz rondelles, leading way to the splash of luscious, rainbow hued stones clustered below. Gorgeous Kyanite, more Mystic Blue Topaz, Labradorite, Amazing Songea Sapphires, Fierce and Fiery Labradorites all clustered together above a generous and stunning Pink Amethyst briolette(24mm, 35 carats!). You will find more Mystic Blue Topaz briolettes, Mystic Quartz, Labradorite, Songea Sapphires briolettes interspersed with large nuggets of the sparkliest faceted Pink Amethyst and smooth, ultra watery Pink Amethyst ovals as well. This is a necklace fit for any goddess! Enjoy:)

Measures 30 inches including gorgeous focal pendant. May be oxidized upon request.


::I r i s::

Iris was the goddess of the rainbow, the messenger of the Olypmian Gods. Iris was a goddess of sea and sky--her father Thaumas "the wondrous" was a marine-god, and her mother Elektra "the amber" a cloud-nymph. For the coastal-dwelling Greeks, the rainbow's arc was most often seen spanning the distance beteween cloud and sea, and so the goddess was believed to replenish the rain-clouds with water from the sea.



Be sure to check back often as I am adding new pieces and their stories weekly! Thank you:)
