Sterling Silver Wrapped Hyperstene Stone

This is another one of my favorite pieces.  I have taken this beautiful hyperstene stone that shimmers in the light and wrapped it in .925 sterling silver lace.  The necklace also features a sterling silver oak leaf.  Pictures just don't capture the way this stone shimmers.  For more information on this piece, click on the picture while its still available for purchase.  http://www.bodyice.net/

Wire Wrapped Rose Quartz Necklaces

Here are two necklaces created with rose quartz stones and wrapped in .925 sterling silver.  The pendant above was netted with fine sterling silver wire in a needle lace technique.  The sterling silver flower dangles freely.  This piece is available at http://bodyice.net/jewelry/product.php?productid=17782&cat=261&page=1.  The necklace below was wire wrapped with .925 sterling silver as well.  This piece was recently sold and is no longer available but I love the heart shaped caged stone. 

The rose quartz stone is considered the stone of love and marriage.  The stone is said to give vibrations of love for the wearer and gives inner peace and enhances the feeling of self-worth. 

Clay, Hematite Stones and Sterling Silver

I recently finished this necklace and had a lot of fun making it. The larger swirled beads are hand created with clay, tumbled and hand buffed. They were strung together with hematite stones of gun metal gray. The pendant part of the necklace was made with a sheet of artwork done in clay, cut, hand sanded and resin coated. I then wrapped the clay in .925 sterling silver and wove the wire into a unique bail. Continuing, I surrounded the clay pendant in more hematite stones and completed the pendant with two dangles at the bottom.

Lampworked Glass Flower Pendants

From thought, to paper, to create into wearable art. I had these pretty lampworked glass flowers and needed to create something with them that was desirable but not too flashy. So, I played around with the glass beads and then sketched out an idea. I came up with these pretty pendants, entirely a Body Ice design. Let me know what you think.

When Wire Meets Clay

I was in a creative mood this weekend. I created three new pendants. Each have been made with a polymer clay stamping technique, brushed with metallic powder, baked and then glazed. I pushed an 18 gauge wire through each prior to baking, making each into a bead. Then, I used the herringbone weave technique to wrap each in wire.

Wire Wrapped Dragonfly Pendant

Here is one of my favorite pendants. I have created it with many feet of .925 sterling silver wire. A pretty pink beach glass is the center of the piece. Tiny Hills Tribe silver beads create a gardenlike effect and to finish off the piece I added a sterling silver dragonfly.
