From the Christmas tree to the poinsettia, nature is a part of the Christmas holiday. Why not celebrate nature with handmade jewelry featuring leaves & flowers? Sharing 5 floral handmade necklaces for Day 11 of 15 Days of Christmas.

Gardens of Stone

I’ve been gardening since I was a toddler. As the granddaughter of berry farmers, my earliest memories are in the fields. I’m a certified Master Gardener and carry on the love of flowers nurtured by my parents and my grandmothers. You’ll find plenty of flowers in my jewelry.

Here are 5 flowers that will never wilt – beautiful handmade floral jewelry from Sandra Lee, Betty, Jennie and me.

 

You may recognize this beautiful red and silver flower necklace from the Rose of Sharon Jewelry Facebook page. 

 

 

 

The Deepest Red necklace was created by Betty from lush red bamboo coral beads to accent a sterling silver filigree flower. The flower is a reinterpretation of a lotus. 

 

This long and lean necklace in pink and black features a richly antiqued sterling silver orchid from Thailand. The orchid is a silver version of a prom corsage orchid, the Cattleya.

The Black Orchid Fantasy necklace from Sandra Lee measures 22-inches plus the 2-1/2 inch silver orchid.

 

 

 

I fell in love with this beautiful Jasper leaf and spent several months searching for the right beads to complete the strand. The copper wiring is a wonderful contrast to this handmade Autumn Leaf necklace.

This is a heavy, bold one-of-a-kind design.

 

 

 

 

Mom (Betty) created a series featuring colorful enameled floral pendants adorned with crystals. This one is Betty’s Garden and features , a lovely  teal butterfly. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Natural pearls in round and coin shapes mixes with rose quartz in this one-of-a-kind double strand necklace from Sandra Lee.

If you’re going to a Garden Party, this is the perfect necklace to show off with.

You can also twist the strands for a different look.

Spring flowers that last forever can be found in 3 new necklaces joining the A.F.F. Jewelry Collection this week. Created by Betty, these handmade designs feature colorful enameled floral pendants.

Each pendant features sparkling crystals from Swarovski. The colors are rich and fresh – reminding one of a beautiful Spring garden.

Betty calls this crystal adorned silver  chain design – April Remembered.

 

 

 

 

April Remembered is a one-of-a-kind necklace that measures 17-inches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fresh green of Spring can be seen in the pendant in Betty’s next handmade design – Joyful Spring.

I love the tiny purple flower that hangs below the assorted green leaves.

To emphasize the greens, Betty created a delicate pale green double strand of glass beads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you can’t resist the fragile beauty of a butterfly, you’ll love this next handcrafted necklace – Betty’s Garden.

Mom is an avid Oregon gardener (that means you work and enjoy it between rain showers). I know her heart skipped a beat when she found this pendant.

Fluttering among assorted flowers in pink, purple and blue, the brilliant blue butterfly almost looks real.

 

The A.F.F. Jewelry collection at Etsy is filled with some of our favorite colorful and very affordable handmade necklaces, earrings, bracelets and beaded watches. Adding a new necklace or bracelet is a great way to brighten up a wardrobe without disrupting the budget.

Orange flowers are the spotlight of the garden and likewise are wonderful in a handmade necklace.  A Touch of Spring brings together orange, aqua and green shades in the delightful enamel pendant. Betty added sterling silver chain which she dangles Swarovski crystals in fresh peridot green and orange glass beads. A Touch of Spring is another in a series of floral necklaces (some have matching earrings) designed around colorful enameled pendants. The bold, cheery colors are a signature feature of enamelware and these are wonderful examples of this medium.  Each focal piece has multiple flowers and leaves and sparkling Swarovski crystals. A Touch of Spring measures 18 inches and is a wonderfully lightweight necklace. For other beautiful floral necklaces in the Spring enamel series by Betty, search by artist at Rose of Sharon Jewelry.

Getting ready for the June 6th Toyota Scion promotional event where we’ll have a booth with fun – gotta have it – necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
