Momma DSK's Birthday Special!

Hey everyone : )

Today is my Mom's Birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! I wanted to put two of her favorite DSK Pieces on my blog post today. Her two favorite pieces have always included the Swarovski Moonlight Crystal Heart. She always wears my crystal pieces whenever she goes to the casino, or on vacation.

My Mom & Aunt believe crystals bring luck, and you're never supposed to give away your lucky crystal if it has already brought you luck. My Aunt says never give away your luck!
There's also a superstition that you're not supposed to tap someone on the shoulder or lean on someone's shoulder while they're gambling. haha I love my Mom & Aunt, they're so fun with all their weird little superstitions.

I can't help but believe them too sometimes!

Fall Collection 2010: Turquoise and Chalcedony


The title of this post is somewhat misleading since I have pieces made from Swarovski, amethysts, aquamarine and lampwork along with the turquoise and chalcedony. I simply decided to have a post full of pictures, and to put some pieces here that haven't made it into some of my other posts.
Above is my favorite piece this week: a handmade necklace with two strands of richly coloured gemstones including aquamarines, peridots, citrines, and rose quartz with a "watchchain" third strand with long charms featuring aquamarines, jade, peridot, rose quartz, and citrine. The aquamarine, citrine, peridot, and jade are colours that are "in" this Fall. Below, an amethyst necklace is made from rough, chunky amethyst points, refined sterling silver from the Thai Karen Hill Tribes, and artist's lampwork. I love the special Hill Tribe leaf beads which are a very shiny sterling silver with an interesting twist to them.
The last necklace, a lariat, below, is made from Swarovski crystals, sterling silver, and artist's lampwork. The necklaces have been running a bit longer to look great with the new Fall fashions.
An aquamarine bracelet reflects a growing interest I've had lately in making my own chain and sterling silver elements, as does the lampwork bracelet with the twisted coil immediately below the aquamarine. The lampwork bracelet features a single disk of porcelain jasper with an intriguing swirling pattern.



The next three bracelets, above and below, feature turquoise. Above, a pretty large nugget of turquoise is complemented by orange carnelian and two special lampwork beads that pull the colours of the bracelet together. One of my favorite types of second strands is made of tiny beads from the Karen Hill Tribes and has charms hanging from it. The turquoise bracelet below is simpler, but full of sterling silver and amazing blue lampwork beads. The last turquoise bracelet has one of our favorite clasps, a sterling silver bird with an oval, one of our favorite chains, deep blue faceted turquoise rectangles, and an artist's lampwork bead with a desert scene (not painted on).



The last group of jewelry is all chalcedony in its many different colours. The gold colour in the earrings above is especially striking, while the earrings below, topped with sterling butterflies have faceted chalcedony rectangles in a delicate green (referred to as "endive" in the fashion mags). The two chalcedony bracelets following are perfect matches for the earrings. (All chalcedony jewelry can be found on our Chalcedony Jewelry page on the Cluny Grey Jewelry website.



The next two bracelets are in one of my favorite chalcedony colours, a pretty turquoise; the first features sterling silver accents, the second 14k goldfilled metal. Finally, a three strand charm bracelet showcases the many pretty colours of chalcedony in different shapes and sizes.

The high today was a wonderful 67 degrees! Lovely! I hope it's nice where you are, too!

A preview of my new chains
From left, 14k Gold-Filled Round Chain, Square Gold-Plated Chain, 14k Gold-Filled Diamond Chain.

I can't wait to cut them up and create. As you can probably tell, I'm still obsessed with making bracelets. I think I'll continue to post bracelets for the next week or two. I have some new ideas for necklaces, and I'm also working with my production manager on finishing up those custom heart link chains. ^_^ Lots of fun stuff on the way. I appreciate your visit, and I appreciate your support in my "DSK" jewelry range.

Now to share with you one of my first double chained necklaces!
Well, it's actually a two in one. I've attached a clasp where you can wear the piece at 16" and 18" layered. But if you unhook the clasp you achieve a full stranded necklace ^_^
I strategically placed my logo charm so you can find the clasp easier when you want to wear it in it's doubled up version. Ahh, it's hard to explain, but for whoever owns this, you will understand when you have it in your hands. I'm so glad I finally this necklace. I usually shy from a long necklace, and I don't know why! I just get stuck in my ways. But I'm definitely branching out. The necklace is in total 34" (85 cm) in length. Handmade .925 Sterling Silver Round Link Chain. Crystallized Swarovski Teardrops in Moonlight & Pearls in Cream. I wrapped the pearls onto the necklace with Sterling Silver as well.




My engraved sterling silver "DSK Jewelry" Charm
Wear it as a double chain necklace, 16" & 18"
or as a 34" chain necklace. : ) Very versatile.
