While I wait on a few more materials to arrive for my high-end collection, I've been working on a necklace featuring white magnesite, blue turquoise, amber, and pyrite along with a bracelet featuring green cinnabar, mustard colored natural seeds, and white coral.
I'm really excited about these pieces. The bracelet is right-on for fall, which is only a few months away, and the colors and design will make this piece one-of-a-kind and a piece one can wear for seasons and years to come. The necklace has a southwest feel with a bit of an edge--I'm saving further details until it's complete.
I'm also designing a few silver-toned earrings that will most likely feature chunky, organic-looking silver pieces and dramatic rustic silver drops. These earrings will be substantial and statement-making (I may have to make a copy for myself!).
More than one of these pieces should be ready and posted here and on Etsy by the end of this week... I'm looking forward to completing them and their subsequent unveiling!
Update 8/7/11: See the fall colors bracelet and the chunky earrings that evolved into another bracelet here and here. I'll finish and re-envision the other items this week!

Lillian Bracelet: Yellow Jade, Amethyst, & White Cinnabar - Treasury Item
I photographed this bracelet on a beautiful sunny day. The yellow jade looked amazing and I hope I've captured its beauty alongside the purple, silver, and cream tones here!
Lillian features yellow jade, which is looks amazing in sunlight (as shown above). Even in lower light, the jade is a beautiful, Meyer lemon-like yellow. Antiqued silver bead caps with a woven-like texture showcase four larger jade stones. A deep purple amethyst bead and carved cinnabar lotus flower in a creamy white hue help complete the bracelet.
This bracelet is 9" long, fits a wrist or arm up to 8", and closes with a Tibetan silver toggle clasp. Although this bracelet will fit a larger woman's wrist best, it drapes well on my 6" wrist.

*SOLD* Romance Bracelet: Rhodonite & Lilac Stone
You'll feel romantic and beautiful in this rhodonite and lilac stone bracelet accented with pewter Tierracast Turkish rondelles.
The focal stone is a deep purple amethyst with earthy inclusions that led me to make it the centerpiece of this design. Rosy pink rhodonite comes from Australia, Sweden, and Vancouver and because of its natural deep colored inclusions, it is easy to wear with soft, cool colors in spring and warmer hues in autumn. Rhodonite is relaxing and quiets our busy minds. It beckons us to stop and breathe in the scent of honeysuckle on a breeze or really take in the deep perfume of red roses. Lilac stone is a variety of quartz that is new to the mineral market. Also called lavender stone, these beads are a graceful blend of grey and light and dark lavender hues.
This bracelet measures 8" including the silver toggle clasp and will fit most wrists.
For reference, my wrist is 6" and when standing with my arm at my side, the bracelet rests on the top of my hand about 2 1/2" from my wrist.
As always, lead and nickel free! Buy it here on Etsy!
