Continuing deeper into my stash of vintage beads, I wasn't through with the amber. I wanted to combine the amber shadings with the deep red orange of carnelian, and came up with this design which I love love love. This might be my favorite necklace of the new collection. The center bead is a darker amber with Carnelian shades, and two distinctive Bali beads set it off. From there, the darker faceted Carnelian beads and amber oblongs play together nicely. At the end, there is a large square Bali Silver Clasp. This girl doesn't like to be pegged. She's not square, but you can't round her out too much either. I think she wears boots. For style not warmth. So not in the snow. Her boots are high heeled, ideally suede, and they go everywhere, just like this necklace.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
