Sweetheart Ring Level of Difficulty: Intermediate This little ring is very economical in its use of wire, but what a pretty result!

Marquise Series: Pendant 4 (2009) Sterling silver Constructed, cold-joined L 3.6 cm x W 1.6 cm Here is one more variation in sterling silver. The original idea was to add a 2 mm Swarovski crystal, similar to what I did in the Week 47 project, but I ended up deciding against it. Pin it
Marquise Pendant: Pendant 3 (2009) Sterling silver, fine silver, Swarovski crystal Constructed, cold-joined L3.5 cm x W 1.6 cm Lots of playing going on! I love the sparkle of Swarovskis, so I added a thin row of crystals to this next pendant in the series. I love the classic “sweetheart” look that resulted! Pin it...
