Pink and gold delight
About this design:
Loved the triangle stones and the spiral bead...so came up with this simple design.
Only problem is the metal does leave a little black on the stones. For years I've thought about coating em with something....if you have a great remedy please share. Thanks
Components:
Greek gold plated spiral 10mm bead,4 tierra cast gold plated nugget heishi 7mm,2 white howlite triangle beads,Rose aventurine matte beads 10mmAdditional Images:

imaginee2012art says:Thank you for the comments Luma,Nancy and Pam.
Granny Nancy yes i have used gold filled…I tend to buy a lot of beads/stones (big hobby). The gold filled is pricey so i haven’t bought as much as i would like

Crystal Canary says:Beautiful! What excellent design of the focal with the triangles & spiral bead. I also like how you pulled in the gold with the gold nugget heishi beads. The soft, muted matte Aventurine makes this so feminine. It may be a simple design, but surely has a lot of character & impact. Look forward to seeing some more of your work!

imaginee2012art says:I tend to draw out designs first, have made hundreds of bracelets, most gifted to family and friends. Was a pencil artist for 40 or so years…but have to say making jewelry, especially bracelets became such a love…im always looking to create something unique, which as u know is very fun, and challenging to say the least.

Crystal Canary says:I’m sure your pencil artistry comes in handy when sketching out designs. And Yes! it does become a love & obsession to make jewelry, especially when you feel the reward of giving it to others & seeing their faces light up. Keep having fun with this exciting form of art with so many disciplines to avail oneself of & learn.
