I used tο hаνе a tie-dyed cashmere sweater. It mаdе mе look lіkе a rainbow hаd thrown up οn mе. Onlу one tіnу photo οf іt exists.

Wіth Gigi thе dog іn 2003.

I gοt rid οf thе sweater long ago, bυt I thουght οf іt аѕ soon аѕ I saw thеѕе shoes bу Nicholas Kirkwood fοr Erdem.

$1,195 аt Saks. Click tο shop.

If I hаd thе sweater аnd thе shoes, I’d gο tο Pop-Tarts World іn Times Square fοr ѕοmе Pop-Tart sushi.

Pop-Tart sushi photo frοm Serious Eats. Click fοr a review.

Thеn I really wουld vomit a rainbow, bυt аt lеаѕt I’d bе dressed tο hіdе іt.

On Monday, gοrgеουѕ designer/blogger Stacy οf taffetadarlings wаѕ over аt mу рlасе cutting patterns fοr hеr nеw dress designs whіlе I рυt price tags οn mу jewelry ahead οf mу sample sale. (Yου саn still contribute money tο Stacy’s September fashion ѕhοw via Kickstarter; lots οf expenses need tο bе covered. Lighting іѕ bіg bucks, аѕ wе јυѕt found out.) Whіlе wе wеrе working, Gigi thе dog hаd a violent аnd extended sneezing fit. Shе looked tеrrіblе: one eye wаѕ squinty, one wаѕ wide open, hеr tongue wаѕ hanging out thе side οf hеr mouth аnd ѕhе seemed dazed. Aѕ thе sneezes continued, Stacy аnd I ѕtаrtеd tο fеаr ѕhе wаѕ having a seizure ѕο іt didn’t seem appropriate tο whip out a camera аnd take hеr picture. Hοwеνеr, аftеr thе sneezing ѕtοрреd, аnd Gigi righted herself аnd wandered οff tο thе kitchen tο inspect Henry thе dog‘s food bowl аѕ іf nothing hаd happened, wе regretted thе lack οf a photo. Sο here іѕ mу artistic impression οf Gigi’s sneezing attack. Stacy tells mе іt’s аn ехсеllеnt likeness!

Mу work οf art.

Yου саn see fοr yourself bу comparing іt tο thіѕ photo οf a non-sneezing Gigi taken years ago.

Gigi аnd mе, back іn thе day.

Next career: courtroom sketch artist!

August 18th, 2010 |

Author: admin

I hаd a grеаt time аt mу joint sample sale wіth mу designing friend Zang Toi today. All mу peeps ѕtοрреd bу. Gοrgеουѕ blogger Pamela οf Market Publique treated herself tο аn asterisk ring.

Click Pamela tο bυу уουr οwn asterisk ring.

Mу gοrgеουѕ friend Elizabeth wаѕ аll lіkе, “OMG!”

Click Elizabeth tο pre-order thе OMG rings οn Kickstarter.

Elizabeth, WendyB аnd thе Cleopatra necklace.

Gοrgеουѕ blogger Tina οf Thе Occasional Cook іѕ a bіg Trυе Blood fan lіkе mе. Fοr υѕ, OMG stands fοr “Oh mу Godric!”

Tina іѕ wearing hеr vampire stake аnd Lіttlе Woolf necklaces.

Cecilia wаѕ аll аbουt mу Cleopatra necklace.

Cecilia.

Mу friend Kevin hаd thе mοѕt fun bесаυѕе hе invented Swear-Ring Scrabble. I’d already pointed out thаt thе various sets сουld bе mixed аnd matched tο сrеаtе nеw words, bυt Kevin іѕ thе nеw champion.

Kevin ѕtаrtеd out wіth thе basic NYC set.

Nеw York — exclamation point!

Gο!

I haven’t thе foggiest notion аbουt whаt Kevin wіll come up wіth next.

Hmmm. Dοеѕ thіѕ mean hе lіkеѕ Trυе Blood tοο?

Don’t gеt coy now, Kevin!

Anyone whο wаntѕ tο challenge Kevin іn Swear-Ring Scrabble саn gο tο Kickstarter tο order thе nеw OMG, NYC аnd LOLZ ring sets, аѕ well аѕ thе original F@#! set. I’m now fully funded οn Kickstarter bυt I still want tο рlасе more rings іn loving homes before mу funding time іѕ up!

Thanks tο everyone whο came tο thе sale. It means ѕο much tο mе whеn y’аll turn out tο support mе. Thanks especially tο Zang fοr having mе again аnd tο mу unpaid helpers: Stacy, GeorgeB аnd BarbaraB.

I\'ve been working on my Fall Collection of jewelry frantically incorporating the season\'s colours into new looks that will complement Fall clothing. I\'ve also been working on my new line of cameo necklaces and antique style jewelry; this line is very time-consuming since glue is often involved and the curing time for the strong-holding (but non-toxic!) glue that I use can take several days.</span><br/><span> Above is a simple antique style bracelet with an art-nouveau look; with its three strands of silver chain and heavy filigree, it also has a contemporary air as well and would look great with a grey blouse (and grey is one of the great colours for Fall 2010). Below is a year-round favorite; turquoise. This </span><a title=\"Turquoise Bracelet\" href=\"http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Turquoise-beaded-bracelets.html\">turquoise bracelet</a><span> features a special lampwork bead with a desert landscape on it as well as one of our favorite sterling silver bird toggles.

I\'ve been working on my Fall Collection of jewelry frantically incorporating the season\'s colours into new looks that will complement Fall clothing. I\'ve also been working on my new line of cameo necklaces and antique style jewelry; this line is very time-consuming since glue is often involved and the curing time for the strong-holding (but non-toxic!) glue that I use can take several days.</span><br/><span> Above is a simple antique style bracelet with an art-nouveau look; with its three strands of silver chain and heavy filigree, it also has a contemporary air as well and would look great with a grey blouse (and grey is one of the great colours for Fall 2010). Below is a year-round favorite; turquoise. This </span><a title=\"Turquoise Bracelet\" href=\"http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Turquoise-beaded-bracelets.html\">turquoise bracelet</a><span> features a special lampwork bead with a desert landscape on it as well as one of our favorite sterling silver bird toggles. The heavy sterling chain, one of the three strands of the bracelet, is also a favorite.</span><br/><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_EKGuxFI/AAAAAAAACPc/bSs88WtNHpA/s1600/turquoise-bracelet-c5.jpg\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_EKGuxFI/AAAAAAAACPc/bSs88WtNHpA/s320/turquoise-bracelet-c5.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509449428566459474\" border=\"0\" /></a><br/><span>It\'s still August and peridot is the August birthstone. In this </span><a title=\"Peridot Bracelet\" href=\"http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Peridot-bracelets.html\">peridot bracelet</a><span>, the gemstone is mixed with pretty blue aquamarine for a different look and a mix of 2 of Fall\'s hottest colours. The next </span><a title=\"Emerald Bracelet\" href=\"http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/emerald-bracelets.html\">bracelet</a><span> is made of genuine rough emeralds and features dolphin beads in sterling as well as a special clasp with a bezel-set faceted emerald.</span><br/><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV-eNMFuKI/AAAAAAAACPM/HVOJF76krZ0/s1600/peridot-bracelet-c3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV-eNMFuKI/AAAAAAAACPM/HVOJF76krZ0/s320/peridot-bracelet-c3.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509448776559212706\" border=\"0\" /></a><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_ufINOBI/AAAAAAAACP8/bbhp3NYlR1s/s1600/emerald-bracelet-c8.jpg\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_ufINOBI/AAAAAAAACP8/bbhp3NYlR1s/s320/emerald-bracelet-c8.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509450155764299794\" border=\"0\" /></a><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_Qa02aXI/AAAAAAAACPk/BtyOq0ftQO4/s1600/antique-style-necklace-n.jpg\"><img src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_Qa02aXI/AAAAAAAACPk/BtyOq0ftQO4/s320/antique-style-necklace-n.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509449639213295986\" border=\"0\" /></a><br/><span>An art nouveau looking piece, above, again in silver, with the addition of blue rhinestones and Czech fire-polished beads. The dangling chains are still a hot look for this Fall; here, little silver Czech beads dangle from them.</span><br/><span>Below, a bracelet that is a combination of aqua quartz (the rectangular slab) brass oxidized filigree, and Preciosa crystal and Czech firepolished beads - a great statement bracelet! It\'s both sweet and showy at the same time. </span><br/><span>Finally, a long </span><a title=\"Agate Necklace\" href=\"http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/agate-necklaces.html\">agate necklace</a><span> with very large oval links shows off slabs of purple agate with their beautiful patterns; the focal is a smooth teardrop of charoite.</span><a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_iAhWfdI/AAAAAAAACP0/IAlOqn4xCNM/s1600/antique-style-jewelry-c.jpg\"><img src=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_iAhWfdI/AAAAAAAACP0/IAlOqn4xCNM/s320/antique-style-jewelry-c.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509449941389835730\" border=\"0\" /></a><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV-vz8lzbI/AAAAAAAACPU/_NYjPIW8OlI/s1600/agate-necklace-a7.jpg\"><img src=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV-vz8lzbI/AAAAAAAACPU/_NYjPIW8OlI/s320/agate-necklace-a7.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509449079020965298\" border=\"0\" /></a><br/><span><span>Watch for the new FALL COLLECTION coming soon; don\'t forget FREE SHIPPING in the USA with every purchase over $50.00; a low $1.95 under $50.00</span></span>. </div> </div> </div>   </div></div>  </div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <aside><div><div> <h2>Blog Archive</h2> <div> <div> <div> <ul><li> <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"> <span>▼ </span> </a> <a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2010-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2011-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=23\">2010</a> <span dir=\"ltr\">(23)</span> <ul><li> <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"> <span>▼ </span> </a> <a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html\">August</a> <span dir=\"ltr\">(4)</span> <ul><li><a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/different-faces-of-jewelry.html\">The Different Faces of Jewelry</a></li> <li><a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/jewelry-and-cats.html\">Jewelry and Cats!</a></li> <li><a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/long-road-home.html\">The Long Road Home</a></li> <li><a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/amethysts-and-antiques.html\">Amethysts and Antiques</a></li> </ul></li> </ul><ul><li> <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"> <span> ► </span> </a> <a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html\">July</a> <span dir=\"ltr\">(3)</span> <ul><li><a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/07/something-old-something-new.html\">Something Old, Something New</a></li> <li><a href=\"http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/07/isnt-it-charming-aquamarines-rubies-and.html\">Isn\'t It Charming?

I've been working on my Fall Collection of jewelry frantically incorporating the season's colours into new looks that will complement Fall clothing. I've also been working on my new line of cameo necklaces and antique style jewelry; this line is very time-consuming since glue is often involved and the curing time for the strong-holding (but non-toxic!) glue that I use can take several days.</span><br/><span> Above is a simple antique style bracelet with an art-nouveau look; with its three strands of silver chain and heavy filigree, it also has a contemporary air as well and would look great with a grey blouse (and grey is one of the great colours for Fall 2010). Below is a year-round favorite; turquoise. This </span><a title="Turquoise Bracelet" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Turquoise-beaded-bracelets.html">turquoise bracelet</a><span> features a special lampwork bead with a desert landscape on it as well as one of our favorite sterling silver bird toggles.

I've been working on my Fall Collection of jewelry frantically incorporating the season's colours into new looks that will complement Fall clothing. I've also been working on my new line of cameo necklaces and antique style jewelry; this line is very time-consuming since glue is often involved and the curing time for the strong-holding (but non-toxic!) glue that I use can take several days.</span><br/><span> Above is a simple antique style bracelet with an art-nouveau look; with its three strands of silver chain and heavy filigree, it also has a contemporary air as well and would look great with a grey blouse (and grey is one of the great colours for Fall 2010). Below is a year-round favorite; turquoise. This </span><a title="Turquoise Bracelet" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Turquoise-beaded-bracelets.html">turquoise bracelet</a><span> features a special lampwork bead with a desert landscape on it as well as one of our favorite sterling silver bird toggles. The heavy sterling chain, one of the three strands of the bracelet, is also a favorite.</span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_EKGuxFI/AAAAAAAACPc/bSs88WtNHpA/s1600/turquoise-bracelet-c5.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_EKGuxFI/AAAAAAAACPc/bSs88WtNHpA/s320/turquoise-bracelet-c5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509449428566459474" border="0"/></a><br/><span>It's still August and peridot is the August birthstone.

I've been working on my Fall Collection of jewelry frantically incorporating the season's colours into new looks that will complement Fall clothing. I've also been working on my new line of cameo necklaces and antique style jewelry; this line is very time-consuming since glue is often involved and the curing time for the strong-holding (but non-toxic!) glue that I use can take several days.</span><br/><span> Above is a simple antique style bracelet with an art-nouveau look; with its three strands of silver chain and heavy filigree, it also has a contemporary air as well and would look great with a grey blouse (and grey is one of the great colours for Fall 2010). Below is a year-round favorite; turquoise. This </span><a title="Turquoise Bracelet" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Turquoise-beaded-bracelets.html">turquoise bracelet</a><span> features a special lampwork bead with a desert landscape on it as well as one of our favorite sterling silver bird toggles. The heavy sterling chain, one of the three strands of the bracelet, is also a favorite.</span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_EKGuxFI/AAAAAAAACPc/bSs88WtNHpA/s1600/turquoise-bracelet-c5.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/THV_EKGuxFI/AAAAAAAACPc/bSs88WtNHpA/s320/turquoise-bracelet-c5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509449428566459474" border="0"/></a><br/><span>It's still August and peridot is the August birthstone.

Cluny and Cuervo are adapting to life in the city; I had almost forgotten what high-maintenance cats they are! (I wouldn't have it any other way). Cuervo will come and sit on the floor and look up at me when I'm working; he can do this for 15 minutes without moving. If I talk to him briefly without getting up, he will start talking to me - and he's anything but brief. He doesn't need food or water or even a treat usually; he wants to play! He wants to run around in circles after a furry "mouse" that has been attached to a long rope, and no, he cannot play by himself, I must twirl it around or run with it. If I persist in working, he will walk away and then come back dragging the rope from his mouth and drop it at my feet. Cluny wants to be petted or brushed constantly or at least talked to; luckily both cats do love their naps!</span><br/><span> I have been able to make jewelry though. Above is an </span><a title="Aquamarine Bracelets" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/aquamarine-bracelets.html">aquamarine bracelet</a><span> made from some great new aquamarines I've just gotten in. The aquamarines are a beautiful blue colour with almost no inclusions at all. The bracelet above also has some of Robin Weber's gorgeous lampwork beads. Below are some </span><a title="Aquamarine Earrings" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/aquamarine-earrings.html">aquamarine earrings</a><span> made with the same aquamarines!</span><br/><span> Below the earrings are a </span><a title="Lapis Jewelry" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/lapis-jewelry.html">lapis bracelet</a><span> and an </span><a title="Ankle Bracelets" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/ankle-bracelets.html">ankle bracelet</a><span> made with sterling silver and iolites (also known as water sapphire).

I drove over 800 miles to Arkansas without stopping for the night by myself and then back here to Virginia with my husband (who did the driving this time). If you look at the bottom of the page, you'll see my two reasons for that long drive - Cluny and Cuervo! I don't have a lot of jewelry to show today because of the trip, but I found time to make a </span><span><a href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Turquoise-beaded-bracelets.html">turquoise bracelet</a></span><span> with some wonderful Sleeping Beauty turquoise faceted nuggets that I just got in. I wanted to showcase the nuggets, so I only used 3 and accented only with sterling silver. The beautiful blue of the Sleeping Beauty is enough to hold its own! Below is a pair of </span><span><a title="Amethyst Earrings" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/amethyst-earrings.html">amethyst earrings</a></span><span>; they are gem-quality briolettes and hang from my favorite sterling earwires.</span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84X9ORIKI/AAAAAAAACNc/HEmvGAV3qhU/s1600/amethyst-earrings-a9.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84X9ORIKI/AAAAAAAACNc/HEmvGAV3qhU/s320/amethyst-earrings-a9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503179253892587682" border="0"/></a><br/><span>More of the antique jewelry line I've been working on is below. The first is an antique-style necklace with dark bronzey coloured filigree and a large peachy gold rhinestone backed by a dark circle of mother of pearl. The chain is a bar style that matches the filigree. The second necklace also makes use of the bronzey-coloured filigree. Here it is enlivened by crystal rhinestones and Swarovski crystals in Pacific opal; there's real sparkle, but it's sedate enough to wear during the day.</span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84Q-7xNWI/AAAAAAAACNU/3l9t2cGlk5U/s1600/antique-style-necklace-g.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84Q-7xNWI/AAAAAAAACNU/3l9t2cGlk5U/s320/antique-style-necklace-g.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503179134092784994" border="0"/></a><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84LjgW4jI/AAAAAAAACNM/FowpKZQqLiM/s1600/antique-style-necklace-f.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84LjgW4jI/AAAAAAAACNM/FowpKZQqLiM/s320/antique-style-necklace-f.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503179040830710322" border="0"/></a><br/><span>Finally here are my two travellers, who by the way, did exceedingly well on their first car trip ever (except for those short ones to the vet). They were absolutely wonderful, once we got them into their carriers. By the second day on the road, they had figured out that they weren't going to get shots at the vet, so the car ride was quite uneventful. They napped in the car and got back in their carriers whenever we stopped. Although only one of us got out at a time and we always left the car running, I was terrified that one of them would slip out the car door and run away into some field behind a service station. But they were perfect angels and now are trying to adjust to life on the sixth floor of an apartment building!</span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84EdFHmxI/AAAAAAAACNE/e8x4iEgEs84/s1600/cluny-8.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF84EdFHmxI/AAAAAAAACNE/e8x4iEgEs84/s320/cluny-8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503178918846765842" border="0"/></a><br/><span><span>Above, Cluny with his tiger stripes on white fur and blue, blue eyes, and below, Cuervo, resting from the long car trip.</span></span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF839jVmwsI/AAAAAAAACM8/6mcGbNIXV68/s1600/cuervo-1.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TF839jVmwsI/AAAAAAAACM8/6mcGbNIXV68/s320/cuervo-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503178800267444930" border="0"/></a><span><span>Shipping is FREE with an $50.00 purchase; $1.95 with any purchase under $50.00!</span></span> <span><span>Go to </span><a title="Cluny Grey Jewelry" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/">Cluny Grey Jewelry</a><span>.</span></span> </div> </div> </div>   </div></div>  </div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class="column-right-outer"> <div class="column-right-inner"> <aside><div class="sidebar section" id="sidebar-right-1"><div class="widget BlogArchive" id="BlogArchive1"> <h2>Blog Archive</h2> <div class="widget-content"> <div id="ArchiveList"> <div id="BlogArchive1_ArchiveList"> <ul class="hierarchy"><li class="archivedate expanded"> <a class="toggle" href="javascript:void(0)"> <span class="zippy toggle-open">▼ </span> </a> <a class="post-count-link" href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2010-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=23">2010</a> <span class="post-count" dir="ltr">(23)</span> <ul class="hierarchy"><li class="archivedate expanded"> <a class="toggle" href="javascript:void(0)"> <span class="zippy toggle-open">▼ </span> </a> <a class="post-count-link" href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html">August</a> <span class="post-count" dir="ltr">(4)</span> <ul class="posts"><li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/different-faces-of-jewelry.html">The Different Faces of Jewelry</a></li> <li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/jewelry-and-cats.html">Jewelry and Cats!</a></li> <li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/long-road-home.html">The Long Road Home</a></li> <li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/08/amethysts-and-antiques.html">Amethysts and Antiques</a></li> </ul></li> </ul><ul class="hierarchy"><li class="archivedate collapsed"> <a class="toggle" href="javascript:void(0)"> <span class="zippy"> ► </span> </a> <a class="post-count-link" href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html">July</a> <span class="post-count" dir="ltr">(3)</span> <ul class="posts"><li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/07/something-old-something-new.html">Something Old, Something New</a></li> <li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/07/isnt-it-charming-aquamarines-rubies-and.html">Isn't It Charming?

After a grueling drive here, I'm finally relaxed and rested and dreading the drive back. Of course, I drove so that my husband and I could drive our two cats, Cluny and Cuervo, back with us. Cluny does not really like to ride in the car - and I doubt that Cuervo is going to have a good time either, so I am looking forward to this drive with apprehension. And I can't wait to see how they adapt to a hi-rise!</span><br/><span> The two </span><a title="Amethyst Bracelets" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/Amethyst-bracelets.html">bracelets</a><span> you see </span><span>above</span><span> and </span><span>below</span><span> feature amethysts; the top bracelet gets an added zing from pretty aquamarines (I love the aquamarine and amethyst mixture!); the bracelet below has a pretty artist's lampwork bead for its focal and has accents in blue kyanite.</span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TFYAM_Snx2I/AAAAAAAACMs/x_54zct8TPE/s1600/amethyst-bracelet-c3.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TFYAM_Snx2I/AAAAAAAACMs/x_54zct8TPE/s320/amethyst-bracelet-c3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500584218027607906" border="0"/></a><span>I'm still working on the antique style and cameo jewelry, too. My favorite piece, so far, is the double-strand cameo necklace below with Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls. The gold cameo sits on layered filigree and has silvery grey freshwater pearls hanging from the bottom. The next necklace is a mixture of gold and silver with a pretty bright gold coin set in silver and hanging from a silver chain; it is a lariat that fastens in front.</span><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TFYACvgYLPI/AAAAAAAACMk/FopwEzC0Lss/s1600/cameo-necklace-a.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TFYACvgYLPI/AAAAAAAACMk/FopwEzC0Lss/s320/cameo-necklace-a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500584041991646450" border="0"/></a><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TFX_6Xku4gI/AAAAAAAACMc/7BtE0xyBKoE/s1600/antique-style-necklace-e.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TMoOFY5DH3E/TFX_6Xku4gI/AAAAAAAACMc/7BtE0xyBKoE/s320/antique-style-necklace-e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500583898128507394" border="0"/></a><br/><span>The butterfly necklace below has a vintage givre stone and vintage pink rhinestone to brighten the aged looking metal.

this case, the old is what's new! I'm starting a new, small line of antique-style jewelry that will include Victorian and Georgian styles along with the occasional Edwardian and Art Deco piece. Of course, I will continue with my main line of gemstone jewelry because it is the closest to my heart; I love gemstones and will always want to work with them. The new line represents my interest in history - both of jewelry and other cultures and will include jewelry styles from other countries as well as Europe and America. One caveat: most of this jewelry is made from vintage materials and components that have been plated or even painted or finished by me. For the most part, the pieces are not sterling silver and goldfilled although I will be incorporating those elements at times. So when they are on the website, read the descriptions carefully if you are a purist and want only precious metals.</span><br/><span> Above, a filigree upon filigree gold cross that dangles genuine freshwater Baroque pearls.

Cluny and Cuervo are adapting to life in the city; I had almost forgotten what high-maintenance cats they are! (I wouldn't have it any other way). Cuervo will come and sit on the floor and look up at me when I'm working; he can do this for 15 minutes without moving. If I talk to him briefly without getting up, he will start talking to me - and he's anything but brief. He doesn't need food or water or even a treat usually; he wants to play! He wants to run around in circles after a furry "mouse" that has been attached to a long rope, and no, he cannot play by himself, I must twirl it around or run with it. If I persist in working, he will walk away and then come back dragging the rope from his mouth and drop it at my feet. Cluny wants to be petted or brushed constantly or at least talked to; luckily both cats do love their naps!</span><br/><span> I have been able to make jewelry though. Above is an </span><a title="Aquamarine Bracelets" href="http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/aquamarine-bracelets.html">aquamarine bracelet</a><span> made from some great new aquamarines I've just gotten in. The aquamarines are a beautiful blue colour with almost no inclusions at all. The bracelet above also has some of Robin Weber's gorgeous lampwork beads.
