Topaz & Emeralds Work-in-progress - SOLD

Bling-mix: Lemon Topaz brios (approx 4.5 carats) & Emerald rondells

Bling "hardware": All gold bits are 14K gold-filled

Like "Oh Love!" Topaz & Emeralds is a lariat-style necklace.

Happily, she found a new home very quickly after she was mentioned in the "Oh Love!" post, even though she's not quite ready to leave the Bling workshop yet.

And she's not leaving because I'm not quite satisfied with the look and so am tweaking it till it's just right :))

For example, the dangles will be shorter, I may add more emeralds and I may even use a different size inner circle.

Speaking of circles, I just love that shape! It implies fulfillment, abundance and continuity. And it's the shape of my belly now ... hahahha!

This little sweetie features 4.5 carats worth of fabulously cut Lemon Topaz briolettes and little Emerald (REAL emeralds!!) rondells in shades of deep green and light apple green.

I'll be sure to post a pic when this piece is completed and ready to go to her new owner :))

Fiori - SOLD

Bling-mix: Faceted Yellow Topaz Briolette & Faceted Tourmaline Rondells
Bling "hardware": All gold bits are 14K gold-filled
Dimensions: Total length is a little over 4cm

Like a fresh bouquet of pretty flowers ("Fiori" is Italian for "Flowers"), this pair of ear-rings could well attract attention and compliments for the wearer.

Beautifully faceted Lemon Topaz briolettes are the highlight of this piece. The dainty cuties dance and sparkle in the light.


Accents of multi-coloured faceted Tourmaline rondells help bring out the sunshine yellow of the Topaz.

All the gold parts are 14K gold-filled -- ear posts, curvy accent and wirework.

Interesting Yellow Topaz Info: Though it was a gemstone known to the ancient Greeks (who thought it made the user invisible) and ancient Egyptians (who believed it was a mystical gem associated with the Sun God Ra), Topaz was "officially" discovered in the Middle Ages during a quest to find the "supreme yellow stone".

Today, some believe that Topaz helps with Spiritual Rejuvenation. Yellow Topaz is the birthstone for November.
