As usual at Christmas, I am rushing to make presents for relatives and friends. The earrings are for my cousin in Italy. They consist of inverted drop hoops that can hold a myrid of dangles, in this case graduated moonstone briolettes. This style makes the most of the blue flash of moonstones as the sway on the chain. I hope she likes them.The next project was a commission for friend. She wanted a necklace for her sister. I took the opportunity to make a lariet style of necklace, I had been planning to make one for ages. It consists of an open strand of facetted iolite rondelles accented with gold beads and a open loop. The ends are finished with iolite briolettes. It can be worn as a choker or loosely tied a long necklace. Got to make one for myself!
