The etsymetal brooch-a-week challenge marches on, with team members and non-members coming up with something new in the brooch department every week! Time flies, and here we are are just entering week 16 and I last posted 4 brooches ago!
Brooches 13 and 14 continued my love affair with fossils...
Two very different fossil palm stones. Brooches #12 & 13
#12 with a large freshwater pearl...
#13 has an adaptor for use as a pendant.
#14 features a sparkling druzy navette in sterling with 14kt gold touches
Brooch #15 is textured sterling with a rose cut tourmaline set in 18kt gold. A light oxidation really enhances the surface texture.
On to #16...
absolutely gorgeous work lately betsy! Wondering if you could show me a better picture of your "adapter"....looks interesting!
ReplyDeletethanks, Erin! Here's a better photo of the adapter. I start with a piece of tubing that slides onto the pin stem...http://www.flickr.com/photos/betsybensen/8607444465/in/photostream
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on your love of fossils, me too! I love the ones with ferns & plant spores and there is nothing more exciting than cracking a rock and finding one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful brooches, stunning.
thanks, Niki!
