Necklace A black Onyx and moonstone bead necklace with silver findings and a pendant constructed with a sterling silver step bezel and black onyx cabochon. The step bezel was formed around the cabochon, sawed, filed for a flush fit and soldered. The bezel was then burnished to fit the cabochon. Bracelet
A black onyx cabochon was grooved with a diamond saw on the
Swap
Top Machine and wrapped with twisted 24 gauge sterling silver wire.
The
bracelet was constructed of multiple 20 guage square sterling silver
wires,
then bound by 20 guage half round sterling wire. The cabochon was added,
the
bracelet formed on a mandrel, hardened, and loops formed to finish.
The
bracelet is made to slip on and off the arm easily, while staying put
for
wearing. A sterling silver headpin was strung with black onyx beads, Swarovske Crystals and small silver beads then a loop was formed at the top of the pin and attached to a sterling silver ear wire. Classes taken to learn the skills involved:
