It started with...

this custom order:








The design belongs to my client, I was just the monkey that made it.
This piece has a long and dramatic history and I don't go for drama. I love this necklace who was very nearly rejected, but had a happy ending after all.

The same time I started the custom orders I took a length of sterling sheet and sawed out three more crescent moons.







Sterling silver and Rainbowmoonstone








Sterling silver and labradorite








Rainbowmoonstone and lapis

I really enjoyed creating this little series! All these necklaces can be found in my Etsy shop. Http://amynicolejewelry.etsy.com

Magic Moon Necklace...

My daughter came into my studio this morning and said, "Momma, this is a pretty necklace!  You sure have been making a lot of moon things lately..."  I can't deny it.  I have been on a bit of a moon kick.

2 faceted rainbow moonstones flank an 8mm smooth round rainbow moonstone on a magical crescent moon.  The back has been stamped with wavy stars and my initials with a swirly bail.  The chain is a delicate by sturdy cable chain that has been oxidized and left black.  It closes with a hand made hook clasp and closes at 16" and 18".  All Metal components are sterling silver, and have been created by me save the chain.

Magic Moon Catchers...

 

 These earrings ended up differently than I had originally intended.  

You see, a few days ago a friend asked if I had ever thought of making 

dream catcher earrings.  

Hmm..

Right away I started designing them in my head, made a quick sketch and decided to make them when I had time....

As I began making these earrings yesterday, they evolved from my original design...

into Magic Moon Catchers.

The stick pearl tails are reminiscent of dream catchers.

It seems the idea stuck in my head and decided to come out in my work.

I love it when that happens!

A pair of crescent moons in patterned sterling silver feature 8mm fabulous rainbow moonstones.  The tails are made up of fresh water stick pearls and lapis beads. 

These earrings measure 4" in length from the top of the ear wire. 

I posted a preview pic yesterday, and have had a couple of inquiries.

If you would like to reserve these earrings, I will be listing them in my
own store.  Email me at amymarez@yahoo.com
