This is the first piece I have ever made using blue lace agate.  I found this pendant at Bead Fest Philadelphia and knew right away that I had to buy it.    The necklace itself if made from smaller blue lace agate beads and seed beads all highlighted with sterling silver.  The clasp is also sterling silver.  This will list for $88.00 on Etsy.

These coordinating earrings are fun!  I strung blue lace agate, seed beads and sterling silver on sterling silver beading wire and used jump rings to attach them to an earring post.  These earrings list on Etsy for $18.00.

This classic look will impress even the most conservative person you know.  I haven't posted this one yet because I'm having a hard time remembering what this stone is.  Whatever it is, it is spectacular.  The wonderful green stones in decreasing sizes are separated by 22 kt gold plated sterling silver bead caps.  I'll have to force myself to sell this one.  I'll list it for $175 on Etsy as soon as I remember what the stone is.

The coordinating earrings are great too.  The wonderful green stones (whatever they are) are separated by 22 kt gold plated sterling silver bead caps.  The earrings dangle from a circular ear post that is also 22 kt plated sterling silver.  Lovely!

These are simple but beautiful earrings.  Perfect amethyst briolettes wire wrapped and suspended from sterling silver "C" shaped and pounded ear wires.  These will be listed for $35.00 on Etsy.

I'm into creative mode now since I need to have a sufficient collection to display at my first craft show.

Recently, I've been struggling with chronic back pain so I've been finding it difficult to be very creative.  I still have a billion ideas in my head for what I want to make.  However when I get started on my projects, it only takes a short time until my pain forces me to stop working.  I hate it!

At any rate, I have managed to get a few new items ready and posted.  On  , I'll be going to my first accupuncture treatment.   I'm really hoping to get some positive results that will help me get back to my old self.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Here are my newest items:

This is called Citrine Bling.  It was created with the lushest, cleanest, citrine briolettes that I have ever found.

Next is a pearl and sterling necklace that is one of my husband's favorites.

A couple of pairs of earrings that coordinate with the pearl and sterling silver necklace.

Finally, my newest bracelet which is made from memory wire.

Head to my Etsy store (www.etsy.com/jillsjewelry) if you'd like to get more information on any of these pieces.  As always, please feel free to email me with any questions you might have.

I've recently completed a few new pieces for listing on Etsy, ArfFire and Zibbet.  Keep an eye out for them as they'll most likely be listed this week.  Meanwhile, here they are for you to preview:

The first is a long antique brass, prehenite and Czech glass bead necklace that I put together with wirework.  The necklace is 84 inches long and doesn't contain a clasp.  Rather, it is designed to be wrapped around your neck or waist as many times as you like.  In addition to the stones and Czech beads, the necklace contains several Vintage antique brass pieces and brass links.  I love this piece because it is the perfect color for me and it so very flexible.  I've also created a pair of coordinating chandelier earrings.  Check out these pictures...

Next, I've created a classic necklace with a chain made from various green jasper beads and sterling silver beads and bead caps.  The pendant focal is also made from green jasper.  I found these beads when I was walking through the International Gem and Jewelry Show in downtown Baltimore a few months ago.  The pendant was the first piece to jump out at me.  It reminded me of a Monet impressionistic painting.  I immediately stopped and reached out to touch it.  Of course, once I've picked it up, it almost always goes into my goody bag.   I knew it would make a beautiful classic piece.  Let me know what you think about it.

Another piece I recently completed is made from some wonderful, absolutely striking, green kyanite beads that I found at the Earthstone booth at the February Tucson Gem and Jewelry Show.  Earthstone is a wholesale only dealer who has amazing quality stones.  The last time I visited them in Tucson, I walked away much poorer than I was when I arrived.  However, their stones are so beautiful that I can never resist.  In addition to the green kyanite beads, this necklace contains some beautiful green lampwork beads that I also found in Tucson and a few Swarovsky crystals.  All the accent pieces are sterling silver.  Here are the pictures.

My last new piece was made from a few beads I purchased recently in Dallas.  This piece is made from Czech glass beads and sterling silver.  The pendant focal is something I found a year of so ago at the Tucson show.  This is a design that I haven't done before but that I thought would make a fun necklace.

At any rate, you can find all of these new items on Etsy, at www.jillsjewelry.etsy.com; on ArtFire at www.artfire.com/users/jillsjewelry; and on Zibbet at www.zibbet.com/jillsjewelry.
