This is my blog for handmade, artisan, one-of-a-kind jewelry, and their making. All Jewelry and tutorials are for sale through JewelryLessons.com or Etsy.com, unless they have already been sold. In that case you could custom order another one, but since making something exactly the same way twice is not one of my talents, be prepared that it will not be a perfect spitting image of the first.

Alla smycken och tillverkningsbeskrivningar finns att köpa på Adorna.se (svenskt), JewelryLessons. com (USA) eller Etsy.com (USA), om de inte redan är sålda. Om du vill köpa ett smycken som redan är sålt kan jag göra ett till, men räkna med att det inte blir likadant som det första. Att göra samma sak två gånger är snudd på omöjligt för mig. Du kan också beställa ett smycken utefter din egen idé eller design. I så fall mailar du mig eller lämnar en kommentar vid något inlägg.

Chandelier Prism Copper Wrapped Pendant
I dropped by the Town Mission's Salvage Store the other day (I'm a regular), and it seemed they had some kind of sale, or something. I found several things that I liked for really no price at all, which is less than usual. Among them were two brass candle holders with a prism tied into the middle of each them in a flimsy way. It didn't look good but I could tell the prisms were good and unchipped. So I bought the candle holders, snatched off the prisms, and handed the candle holders back to the chashier. I said, "Guess you can sell these again, huh?". When she recovered from the surprise, she looked at the price tags and noted "I don't even have to change the price..." and put them on the out-shelf again. And I was happy not to have to take two cheap brass trinkets home with me. I have enough of those already.
As I got home, I realised that it's really all or nothing, because five of my Hong Kong pendants had arrived in the mail as well, so now I had seven nice pendant beads that begged for some attention. But I felt the most for the prisms.
I quickly decided on the "Strukova pattern" as I like to call it, thusly named after one of my absolute favourite wire artisans Elena Strukova. I usually don't make it like she does, I put on variations and stuff in all directions, just as to not copy anyone's work.
I picked 2 glass briolette beads to adorn it with, and voila, it looks like i just took a piece of a chandelier down and hung it around my neck. Well, not quite, but almost. I'm pleased. I plan to make the other one a bit like it but maybe use brass wire or coloured briolettes, or whatever comes to mind at that moment.
This pendant will be listed in my Etsy-shop very soon.
