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.

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.

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> <!-- google_ad_section_end(name=default) --> <!-- google_ad_section_start --> </div></div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </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&amp;updated-max=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&amp;max-results=24">2010</a> <span class="post-count" dir="ltr">(24)</span> <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_09_01_archive.html">September</a> <span class="post-count" dir="ltr">(1)</span> <ul class="posts"><li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/09/today-sapphires-and-cameo-necklaces.html">Today: Sapphires and Cameo Necklaces</a></li> </ul></li> </ul><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.

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.

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> <!-- google_ad_section_end(name=default) --> <!-- google_ad_section_start --> </div></div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </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&amp;updated-max=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&amp;max-results=24">2010</a> <span class="post-count" dir="ltr">(24)</span> <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_09_01_archive.html">September</a> <span class="post-count" dir="ltr">(1)</span> <ul class="posts"><li><a href="http://jewelrytrends.blogspot.com/2010/09/today-sapphires-and-cameo-necklaces.html">Today: Sapphires and Cameo Necklaces</a></li> </ul></li> </ul><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?

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.

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-
