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.

The A.F.F. Jewelry collection can be found in our Etsy shop at http://www.roseofsharonjewelry.etsy.com.  We currently have over 50 necklaces, necklace sets, bracelets, earrings and beaded fashion watches in stock. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind design we created just for our Etsy customers.

Betty’s newest necklace started with a recycled pendant I found last year. Solar Flare came to life when a strand of A+ carnelian beads arrived in November.  You’ll find this bold necklace in our artisan store for Rose of Sharon Jewelry 

The wonderful colors in Solar Flare remind us of NASA’s pictures of our solar system.

These fantastic carnelian beads have colors that range from burnt umber to almost black.

I just love the golden shooting star toggle clasp that Mom used.

A growing green trend in jewelry is “repurposing” found objects,  vintage or recycled jewelry and antique store finds.

I found this celestial (moons and stars) pendant while prowling around a local thrift shop.

Mom and I have been busy photographing and posting new Rose of Sharon Jewelry artisan designs in the store and have added over 25 new pieces to the A.F.F. Jewelry Line at Etsy.

Jewelry is a fabulous gift and handmade jewelry is a lasting treasure.

Rose of Sharon Jewelry is proud to introduce 2 cross necklaces for him (or her if she likes a longer design). The OOAK designs are suitable for any Christian and a make wonderful personal gifts!

Check back often to see the daily new releases as I have over 50 new necklaces, bracelets and more that are ready to post.

This black onyx and silver original cross necklace is Fellowship.

At 21 inches, Fellowship is a comfortable fit for larger necks or for a longer drape.

The handcrafted Southwestern influenced Victory cross necklace  features a dramatic gold vermeil (24k gold over silver)

cross hanging from faux turquoise (dyed Howlite) tube beads. Victory measures a generous 20 inches.

The serenity of the translucent green Jade was the inspiration for the new Everlasting Peace  necklace. The cross of silver and green is a simple elegant design. Betty then transformed faceted Jade rondelle beads with a yard of sterling silver wire to create a light and airy strand.

Everlasting Peace is available now in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store.

The Jade in this original work is top quality. Great luminosity!

The simple cross is so elegant!
