      Amé's simple jewelery

      I've been making some necklaces, earrings and bracelets and thought I'd post some of the pictures I have of them. I just do simple stuff for the most part and am still learning (was just recently introduced to basic wire wrapping, so none of that). So, here are some samples:

      Simple Amethyst earrings using sterling silver hooks and headpins.


      Onyx beads, but no sterling silver (but could be arranged).


      More onyx, but with a stone bead whose name I can't remember. It shines a very dark green in the light and looks really cool. Also sterling silver.


      Tiger Eye and Swarovski crystal. This is the light version and has a matching necklace. The necklace below is the dark version and also has matching earrings.


      Dark version of my Tiger Eye necklaces.


      A simple yellow necklace with accent beads and a yellow shell focal. My first 3-strand attempt.


      My first attempt at a branched necklace. I like how it turned out. It consists of a simple stone focal and onyx accent beads all around.


      More to come... though not too much. It's an expensive hobby.

      I've sold a couple of things, but I'd like to sell more. I thought about setting up a page on etsy.com or e-bay. That requires effort, though

      I could make alterations for a few more dollars (ie. silver plated to sterling silver, gold-plated ear hooks, more expensive clasps, etc.), but as, I'd price the tiger eye necklace at $12 and the set with earrings at $16. The onyx branched and yellow shell necklaces would be about $10.

      Hmmm. Sounds reasonable enough. Once you get setup, we'll have to talk sometime.

      Those Tigerseye earrings look like delicious caramels. I want to melt them all over my apples.

      These are really cool. I really like the ones with multiple strands.

      I really love jewelries and that's why I couldn't stop my self to say something here regarding above jewelries. Loved the Tiger eye too much.

      I like the last necklace. I'm also creating necklace before but it is not as expensive as yours, cause I don't really sell it it's just my hobby way back my high school days.
