Right angle weave

I used bamboo coral (in unusual little bicone shapes!) in this right angle weave, and I really like the result - I have done this pattern many times, with pearls, and with Czech glass in various styles, sizes, and shapes, but had never tried anything else.

Black and red always look so dramatic together!

This bracelet is available in my Etsy shop.

Bamboo Coral Earrings

These are the earrings I designed to go with yesterday's necklace:

Red, Black, and Gold

I bought a new shirt, with a vibrant, busy pattern in black, red, and gold against a white background. Despite the busy pattern, it needed a bit of jewelry - know what I mean?

I kept it fairly simple because of the busy pattern in the shirt (those who know me well would say I kept it extremely simple!), using a few large bamboo coral rondelles, bookended by some onyx, and suspended from gold chain. And since I can't be too simple, I added a second, shorter length of a different gold chain, creating a double-stranded necklace.
Perfect!
