New jewelry

I have just completed two new jewelry pieces!


This cabochon is "Silk and Satin". It is a combination of a honey-hued striated central stone paired with pewter and opaque white delica beads. Added to this are crystal AB delicas, Swarovski bicones and teardrops. The AB finish creates a translucent, luminescent effect which accentuates the satiny finish of the stone. The result is a lacy, delicate vintage look with rich golden sparkle. Price: $185 Availability: 1


This is a lightweight, fun pendant that exudes spontaneity! The rope chain consists of a DNA pattern with fuchsia and galvanized gold delicas, finished with fuchsia 4mm Swarovski bicone crystals. This playful necklace is "Julianne". Price $25. Availability: 1.

My jewelry website is now up and running! This site has all the categories of jewelry I make, previous and current jewelry pieces, descriptions, prices and availability. You can click on the main page, www.LightworksbyCJ.com and then select the jewelry site, or go to the site directly at www.HandcraftedJewelrybyCJ.com. Stay tuned because I have just completed some new pendants and cabochons which will be added soon. Happy visiting!

Sometimes jewelry making leads me in unanticipated directions. I just completed a car mirror decoration for a client using a Swarovski teardrop with 6mm bicones in the chakra colors, interspersed with silver barbell spacers. It is continually sparkling, but when the sun's rays shine on it, the result is breathtaking. What a way to bathe the interior of the car with chakra energies!
