Aqua Leaf Bellflower This was a special brooch

This was a special brooch that speaks of the beauty of the fragility of life

with such a sweet and happy vibe

which is tarnish resistant and keeps its luster much longer than traditional sterling silver

I love making these - especially a lot at a time - because they have the most wonderful hand feel

darkened with patina

Aqua Leaf Bellflower This was a special broochKind of a playful flower brooch. I can see I had fun blending high karats of gold and palladium together for the finish. And that marquise aquamarine! I haven't seen a gemstone like it in a while. Even at the huge Tucson Gem Show AGTA and GJX I go to every February.
