Flink - By SofiesC



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, HÃ¥kan Flink.

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.

Eternal Summer


Eternal Summer - By
Meaurements: 56cm long Focal 5cm drop Biggest flower 3cm in diameter
Materials: 14K gold filled wire, 14K gold filled round beads, 14K gold filled textured chain, London Blue Topaz in two sizes, one flawless Whiskey Quartz smooth briolette
Description: “… And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; …”
Sonnet 18, William Shakespeare
This handmade, asymmetrical necklace in 14K gold filled wire and London Blue Topaz faceted rondelles, was inspired by sonnet no.18 by William Shakespeare, which is another of my favourite written pieces. No, it IS my favourite written piece. I recite it, quietly to myself many, many times each month and over the years I must have recited it hundreds of times. And how someone decided centuries ago, to put a few words together and with those words bring tears to my eyes today, is something I will never understand. I do hope I have done the sonnet justice.
I started by shaping the flowers and wire wrapped them in different looks and techniques to add texture and then added one gorgeous London Blue Topaz to each centre and embraced that topaz with a coil of wire. The larger of the flowers also got two round 14K gold filled beads and one smaller, slightly lighter in shade, London Blue Topaz on the petals. One of the flowers also doubles as the hook style clasp, with the hook hidden under the wrapping. The flowers are connected with a 14K gold filled chain that is slightly textured.
The focal is one of the flowers but with an addition of a flawless Whiskey Quartz smooth briolette. It is simply stunning. From the top of the briolette a little cascade of London Blue Topaz rondelles falls.
With the yellow gold and the blue topaz, it will be like wearing an eternal summer around your neck
