Something DifferentPosted by Delia Stone on 1/7/2008I am a lover of ammonites/ammolites! They fascinate me to no end. I recieved this Ammonite from Canada and decided that I didn't want to do anything that would distract the eye from the incredible beauty of the stone. To that end, I simply framed it in a 14k gold fill netting utilizing a classic lace making technique known as needle lace. A solitary green sapphire adorns the bail. The toggle is also handmade, but I had to settle for Swarovski accents for a nice color match because I had no other green sapphires that would work on the gauge of wire I had to use to create a sturdy toggle.
I love this piece so much that I've decided to make it part of my private collection. Images

Since my focus seems to be inexplicably bound to needle lace work these days I decided to start working on some variations. This stitch is called the button hole stitch. It's made by creating a double eye on either side of each loop. The double eyes look like tiny pretzels. :) |

Creating artful jewelry is my passion. I enjoy working with wire. I've taken metal-smithing classes but wire wrap remains my first love. The process of making jewelry is almost like alchemy to me - transforming a pile of beads and wire into something wonderful and pleasing to the eye. I love the challenge of bringing a vision to life to share it with others. I also do custom work. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments.
