Release Me Part Three - By SophiesC

Release Me Part Three - By SophiesC

Measurements: Size of pendant (excluding drop): 2.1x1.5 cm Length of chain: 73 cm

I am the rain that's coming down on you

That you shielded yourself from with a roof

I am a fire burning desperately but you're controlling me

Release me

Release me

This necklace is the last in my series of jewelry inspired by the wonderful song "release me" By the swedish band "Oh Laura"

In this piece I really wanted to portray the image of the desperate fire trying fruitlessly to brake through it's shell as well as the rain that on the contrary is longing to get in and reach contact. The ball is constructed by 6 pieces of hand forged wire and put together by the weaving of a thinner wire around it. I wanted to challange myself with these pieces and make shapes that were new and demanded a whole now level of difficulty compared to my other pieces. The final necklace that came out of it was then oxidized to enhance detail and bring an antique feel to it.

The beads used are crystal quartz, hessonite garnet, petro tourmaline, sunstone and citrine.

The chain is also decorated with beads. It's a long necklace that can be shortnened upon demand. All metal parts are sterling silver.

Description:

I am a growing wave without the motion

A glass of water longing for the ocean

I am an asphalt flower breaking free but you keep stopping me

Release me

This is the second part of a series of jewelry I created with inspiration bý the wonderful song "Release me" by the swedish band "Oh laura". I started on this project to challange myself and create new shapes. With this piece I wanted to use a colour that I would not normally use, which is blue, and and try to give a feel of the rolling wave by the sculptural shape of the wire work. It's made out of 12 hand crafted pieces of hammered silver wire forged together by the weaving a tiny 30 gauge wire. The beads used in this project is London blue topaz, apatite, aquamarine and prasiolite. The finished necklace has been oxidized and polished to give it an antique feel and bring out details. As in all of the pieces in the series I wanted to convey the feeling of bursting out of a shell, of being to big for the cage you ended up in and making everything possible to break out. I hope both the lyrics and the piece speaks as much to you as it does to me.

First was the Fern Swirl – delicate and light – and then I fall in love with the curves of this design and created a family of Swirls. This one – Orange Peel Swirl is the most exotic of them. The colour combination is unusual for me, very colourful and the Carnelian golden orange shade brings to my mind hot places, full of sun. I added also some warmth of the tropical sea in the blue Sapphires and greenery of palm trees in Emeralds and Prehnites. I oxidised the earrings to bring out the colours and the shape itself.

Road To Orkney - Amethyst, Prasiolite and Blue Sapphire Wire-Wrapped Bangle By Blue Almonds

Road To Orkney: Oxidised Sterling Silver Amethyst, Prasiolite and Blue Sapphire Wire-Wrapped Bangle Bracelet - by Blue Almonds

Measurements: the bangle is 14cm/5.6” in circumference and although it is slightly adjustable it would fit a petite wrist; the bangle is 2cm/0.8” wide are at the widest point

Materials: AA smooth round Amethyst, Blue Sapphire and Prasiolite micro-faceted rondelles, sterling silver

There is actually no road from the UK mainland to Orkney. One has to travel by boat or plain to get there. Most people would choose the boat and in late autumn time the sea gets very harsh which makes the journey quite uncomfortable. When I started weaving the bangle I was listening to the BBC Radio Scotland which would announce weather forecast every hour and I would hear all the news about ferries being cancelled or delayed. With this picture in my mind my hands produced this wild and wavy shape. The frame was hand formed into waves and the outer part was hammered. I then used over 5 meters of thin silver wire, clear Amethyst beads together with sparkling dark Blue Sapphires. I oxidized the bangle heavily to create this dramatic design. Three little Prasiolite beads were added to soften the shape like a touch of sea foam.

I am the wilderness locked in a cage, I am a growing force you kept in place, I am a tree reaching for the sun please don't hold me down, Release me..

These earrings are the first in a series of jewelry inspired by the wonderful song "release me" by the swedish band "Oh Laura" Turning these earrings from idea to reality may have been the most challenging thing I ever made jewelry wise. I really tried to give the impression of wilderness bursting out from it's cage, being released. The wire wrapping in this piece is very intricate and the earrings consist of 22 pieces of hand formed wire wrapped together with a really thin silver wire. The cages have been oxidized and polished to provide an antique look and enhance details. Inside of the cages I have stuffed loads of gemstones of various shape and colour. They really shine through wonderfully. Out of the cage hangs various gemstone beads of different shapes such as marquises, pears and rondells. The earrings are then hung from sterling silver ear posts.

Flink: 14ct Gold Filled Crystal Quartz wire-Wrapped Earrings - By SofiesC

Materials: gold filled wire, rock crystal quartz and gold filled beads.

This is a gold filled version of the Pella earrings. This time the shape is a bit softer and drop shaped. These are also a bit bigger than the silver pair. The stone used is a concave cut rock crystal quartz. I love the swirly victorian shape of these. The gold filled wire has been shaped and hammered and just as in the pella earrings the shape of the wire construction is accented by the shape of the bead.

The Pella earrings were the name of one of my most inspiring art teachers. I named these after my other inspiration. The softer more sensitive version of Pella, Håkan Flink.

Tanglewood - By Orgellan

Tanglewood: Oxidised Sterling Silver, Vesuvianite, Peridot & Smoky Quartz Wire-Wrapped Earrings - By Orgellan

The hoops have then been adorned with a clustering of earth toned gems including burnt orange Spessartite Garnet, moss greenVesuvianite, vibrant Peridot and rich Smokey Quartz. To finish the earrings have been oxidised to a deep gunmetal grey, fitting with the mythical, and magical inspiration of Tanglewood.

Misty Evening - By Sma Bla

Misty Evening: Sterling Silver Olive Quartz, Citrine & Sapphire Wire-Wrapped Necklace - By Sma Bla

Measurements: Length: 49.5 cm Focal incl.bail: 7.5 cm Width of wire wrapped ring: 3cm Focal briolette: 18 x 12.5 x 7.5mm, 8 carat

Materials: Sterling silver wire Tunduru Sapphire faceted rondelles and briolettes Citrine faceted chubby briolettes Faceted Olive Quartz briolette Price incl.

The Misty Evening necklace features a focal divided in two parts – one silver part and one gem part. Both of them intricate in their own way and both of them working together to form a beautiful necklace that can be worn both daytime and evening time. With jeans and a top, it will display an understated elegance for work. Switch to something more formal and let the elegance bloom.

The silver part of the focal is a soldered frame of 1,6 mm sterling silver wire that I hammered flat. I wanted the frame to be embellished somehow so I made silver pearls by melting silver and soldered them on to the frame. I then wire wrapped the frame with hair thin wire and for balance I added a few laps of thicker wire. Within the main ring, I added a smaller oval that I covered completely by weaving hair thin wire over it.

The big silver pearl in the middle has some imperfections on the surface. I could say that it’s completely intentional and that it is my artistic way of showing imperfection in a, in many other ways, perfect world. That would, of course, be complete nonsense. The truth is, the core of the pearl cooled off slower then the surface of the pearl and thus creating these little cavities on the surface. But I liked it! So I kept it as it is, and only gave it a slight sanding.

Below the silver part of the focal, the gems form a spectacular cluster. The main briolette is a stunning 8 carat Olive Quartz faceted briolette with beautiful olive-brownish colour. On top of the Olive Quartz, tendrils of faceted briolettes and rondelles of Tunduru Sapphires cascades down accompanied by faceted briolettes of golden yellow Citrine.

The focal hangs from a simple chain that ends with my hand made hook style clasp.

Cranberry In Snow - By Blue Almonds

Measurements: the earrings are 5.3cm/2.12” long in total and 1.9cm/0.76” wide at the widest point

Materials: Deep Red Ruby Faceted Onions (6x8mm), natural Chalcedony faceted rondelles, AA golden Citrine micro-faceted rondelles, Peridot smooth roundelles, sterling silver wire, 14K Gold Filled wire.

First snow has just covered the hills and I can see in the town shops the very first preparation for Christmas. Baubles, candles, golden and red ornaments and lots of nuts and spices - all of this put me in a wintry-Christmassy mood. In my home country my husband’s Grandmother would prepare a special cranberry jelly to be enjoyed on 24 December, the Vigil night. One can eat it with some custard flavored with natural vanilla or cinnamon. Thinking of this delicious dish I wrapped the Cranberry In Snow earrings, one of my new “Swirl” designs. The Ruby onion briolettes are of the freshest and sweetest cranberry size and colour. They are accompanied by icy-snowy, cloudy white natural little Chalcedony. Each earring is flavored with a bit of cinnamon - the golden sparkly Citrine, with a touch of 14K Gold Filled wire and also with tiny little round Peridot.

Wire Boutique at Ilford Craft Market

Weaving The Rainbow - By Blue Almonds

Weaving The Rainbow - By Blue Almonds

Measurements: the earrings are 9.5cm/3.6” long in total and 2.5cm/1.0” wide the widest point
Materials: AAA micro-faceted yellow sapphire rondelles, AA garnet faceted marquises, spinel and kyanite micro-faceted rondelles, sterling silver
This very feminine design was, similarly to the Weaving Autumn Mist pendant, inspired by one of Rene Lalique masterpieces - the Peacock Brooch. This time, however, the hues are more vibrant and full of joy. It recalls the colour palette of a rainbow which I often see here in the Scottish Highlands when frequent and sudden showers together with strong autumn sunshine create heavenly arches; or like the turning leaves of sycamore tree I see on the hills.
The wavy hand crafted frame was delicately hammered and then gracefully weaved and wrapped with meters and meters of sterling silver wire to create a delicate net. To give the impression of a rainbow I used multicolor spinels at the bottom of the frame. I then added little strong blue kyanites in one corner of each earring, like a piece of clear blue sky. Yellow sapphires are like the sunrays - sparkling and shining with gold and warmth. I adorned each earring with a beautiful deep crimson garnet marquise to evoke the true rainbow red.

Ravissant - By Orgellan

Ravissant - By Orgellan

Measurements: Necklace length is 17 inches (43cm) extending to 20 inches (51cm) and the pendant is 3 inches (7.5cm) in length.
Materials: 24k Gold Vermeil, 14k Gold Filled, Rose Quartz, Kunzite, Mauve and Cream Freshwater Pearls.
Description: Old world glamour and femininity collide with modern elegance in this romantic and beguiling necklace, that wouldn't look out of place adorning the neck of a leading lady in a period drama. An exquisite faceted baguette cut gemstone of rare Kunzite, takes centre stage in the centre of the wire wrapped pendant, adorned with handwoven flourishes. The framework of the pendant has then been encusted with tiny Freshwater Pearls, Rose Quartz rondelles and dainty 24k Gold Vermeil beads. At the base suspended a magnificent AAA Rose Quartz smooth briolette - divinely elegant, this pendant appears to glow from within.

Silver Leaves

Silver Leaves

Meaurements: Chain 45 cm Pendant: total drop 9cm Leafs: 7,5 cm / 5,5 cm / 3,5 cm long
Materials: Sterling silver wire
Description: My signature leaf in a new sleek version and in a combination of soldered and wire wrapped elements. I started by shaping three different sized leaves in 1.6 mm sterling silver wire and soldered them closed. The smallest leaf was then wire wrapped and woven with hair thin wire, before I gently curved the leafs for depth. To continue the sleek impression, I made a big oval bail to let them hang from and ended with a smooth silver snake chain. The leafs and the bail have all been annealed and polished to a high shine (the smallest leaf before I wrapped it) and the chain is a high polished, non tarnish chain. Nevertheless I recommend you give this necklace an occasional cleaning to keep it white and shining. You might also want to store it in a closed zip-lock bag. I know – not a very charming way to store your jewellery – but it does keep air out and by that prevents oxidising.

Heart Of princess - By Zaplecione

Heart Of Princess - By Zaplecione

Almost every girl wanted to be a princess once upon a time. Anyway - I wanted to ;) in my preschool age. For the Christmas Party my dad used to make me a paperboard crown, decorated with silverpaper and flowers and my mom would sew a princess gown - red in most cases. And I was ready to go to the ball, where Santa Claus handed toys and sweets out. Only thanks to old photos I may see now how gorgeous princess I once was. These fond memories were my inspiration in designing these earings, made with sterling and fine silver wires, topaz briolettes (9mmx5mm) and pink garnet rondelles (3mm). They glow pink by pink topaz and garnet, delicate and fabulous. Old-fashioned.
The heart frames measure 2.2cm x 2.3 cm (including ornamental post). Total length - 4 cm Earrings were oxidized and polished to bring out the coils and give more old-fashioned look.

Stardust

Stardust

Meaurements: Adjustable, will fit any size From swirl to swirl – 8cm wide Neck – 1 cm wide
Materials: 14K gold filled wire, faceted rondelles of blue African Sapphire
Description: For the Queen in you! The Stardust necklace is a dramatic, decadently opulent and exceedingly comfortable wire wrapped open choker style necklace. The style is highly flattering and can with a little gentle tweaking be made to fit snug around any neck. Following the gentle curve of the neck I shaped 1.6 mm thick gold filled wire to a choker style frame and wrapped it completely with hair thin gold filled wire. I filled the frame lavishly to the brim with gorgeous faceted rondelles of sparkly blue African Sapphires, increasing the width by adding more rows of Sapphires, in the front of the necklace. The gold and the blue compliment each other perfectly and give a regal flair to the necklace. Due to the size and shape of the Stardust, it will not fit in standards size gift boxes. I am in the process of finding custom made boxes, but I fear it may still take some time. Do not hesitate to contact Wire Boutique if you have any questions regarding this.

Here in the north of Scotland we are now experiencing Autumn in its full splendor. Chilly and misty mornings, hills turning brown and trees slowly loosing their leaves - they all together create melancholic atmosphere when you dream of hot chocolate by the fireplace or at least a candle. One such evening I was browsing one of my beloved books with photos of Rene Lalique designs - the essence of Art Nouveau - and I was contemplating the Peacock Brooch… and that was the beginning of the Weaving Autumn Mist pendant. The hand crafted from scratch frame was delicately hammered to achieve the light and airy silhouette. It was then painstainkingly weaved and wrapped with meters and meters of sterling silver wire to create a delicate misty net. Lemon and smoke quartz are of the truly autumny brown-golden palette and andalusite briolettes add to it a beautiful chocolaty-golden-green sparkle. I also added sweet tiny yellow sapphire and golden-orange mandarin garnet rondelles to give some warmth and sun-like sparkle to the pendant. It was hung on small belcher sterling silver chain with hand shaped clasps, embellished with two little yellow sapphire beads. The extension chain is decorated with one smoke quartz marquise.
