Pretty Greens


Here are a few things we've made recently...we seem to be in a green phase!  The big earrings are green turquoise stones on silver chain and earring hooks.  The necklace and the little earrings are made using chaldecony stones and gold-filled* wire and chain (although the little butterfly on the necklace is actually solid 9ct gold).

*Just in case you were wondering, "gold-filled" (also known as "rolled gold" or "rolled gold plate") is made from a solid layer of gold bonded to a base metal such as silver or brass. Gold-filled items, even with daily wear, can last up to 30 years - unlike gold plated jewellery which has a much, much thinner layer of gold.
