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.

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.

Natural garnets were the perfect choice for the new handmade Wine Drops bracelet. This new addition to the A.F.F. Jewelry line at Etsy is so juicy and rich. The deep wine purple reminded me the rich colors found in my favorite Shiraz.

This lovely new bracelet is a personal favorite - delicate in appearance but a fashion powerhouse. Here’s some pictures to drool over.

 

Wine Drops fits wrists up to 7 3/4 inches.                    

The double strand of garnets are gently intertwined.

   

A sterling silver toggle clasp secures the bracelet.

A touch of teal and flowers adds romance to our newest handmade bracelet, Pink Innocence. The lampwork beads provide vivid contrast for the pale and bright pink glass beads.

 

The pale pink crackle glass beads and vivid pink Czech glass set the tone.  The finishing touch is a lovely silver pewter heart theme clasp with a pink heart accent.

This lovely double strand 7-inch bracelet debuts today on Etsy.

 

I’ll let pictures tell the rest of the story. . .
