Rose of Sharon Jewelry

Even snow on the ground won’t stop me from preparing for Spring! Pulled out all the garden catalogs, ordered more plants and today I’m featuring two great handmade jewelry designs that shout Spring!

Pink = Spring for a gardener like me. And nothing compares to the bold pink of Candy Jade.

Fetching in Pink is a handmade pink Candy Jade necklace with matching earrings and bracelet from the talented Sandra Lee.

Sandra loves to make matching pieces so this Fetching In Pink set includes earrings (left) and a wonderful bracelet. You can wear them together for a traditional coordinated look or separately for just a splash of Jade.

 

 

 

 

 

April Remembered is a lovely enameled floral pendant accented with Swarovski crystals on a silver chain. Betty created this design and says she' hopes someone who loves flower will wear it with pride.

 

 

 

 

I have another half dozen brand new necklaces waiting to be posted in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store. Subscribe to the ROSJ blog today and you’ll be the first to know when they are available.

Mix an elegant vintage looking Marcasite pendant with a modern black chain. Shake well and out tumbles a wonderful new handmade necklace – Black Cherry.

I purchased some “blackjack” chain from a favorite supplier (Via Murano - I love their quality) several months ago. I hadn’t decided what project needed it until I rediscovered an oval Marcasite pendant in my focal bead draw. The swirled oval shape and triangle bail are so classic. The deep rich red faceted garnet in the center really make this pendant special. I knew immediately that the elegant looking black chain was just perfect. I combined several deep red Swarovski bicone crystals and a coordinating Marcasite clasp and wow!

I love how Black Cherry evolved and am looking forward to working with the “blackjack” chain on other projects.

Black Cherry is new today in the A.F.F. Jewelry line at Etsy. This original design is more costly than most items in the A.F.F. Jewelry collection because Marcasite components are pricier. But I’m confident that the quality and beauty will convince you to invest in this one-of-a-kind necklace.

Here’s 2 pictures to get you drooling. Don’t forget to leave some hearts on Etsy for Black Cherry or any other A.F.F. jewelry design.

Cuff bracelets are hot now! Green Twist filled with natural deep green Malachite is a great faux cuff. This handcrafted bracelet by Dawn  joined our A.F.F. Jewelry line last week at Etsy.

To make this colorful bracelet, Dawn used steel memory wire. In artisan quality jewelry, memory wire isn’t often used as it is considered a “craft component” but Dawn found that it’s natural twist and flexibility were a real bonus with the heavy Malachite beads.

Green Twist is a 4 level cuff design that looks wonderful on. It is very comfortable and fits wrists of all sizes.

 

 

  Malachite is a green stone formed naturally by weatherization of copper. Ground malachite was used as a make-up at one time.

 

Malachite is a heart chakra stone and is a powerful stone for psychic powers.

A heart of glass usually isn’t a good thing, except when the hearts are adorable pink lampwork beads. My new Forever in My Heart  bracelet combines romantic pretty pink lampwork bead hearts with sparkling sterling silver.  Forever in My Heart is one of the many newly released handmade bracelets in the A.F.F. Jewelry line at Etsy.

Forever in My Heart is a wonderfully romantic one-of-a-kind bracelet. The perfect gift or a special treat for yourself?

 

The sterling silver chain is a linked heart design.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pink hearts of these handmade artisan lampwork beads are adorned with tiny dots. I added additional small white glass beads as an accent.

            The finishing touch to this 7 inch bracelet is a heart shaped sterling silver toggle clasp.      

Forever in My Heart was created by Sharon of Rose of Sharon Jewelry.

  Nothing says I love you like handmade jewelry. You’ll find a great selection of affordable designs under our A.F.F. Jewelry line at Etsy.
