silver lotus flower pendant ~ handmade with love

Robert saw the silver lotus flower pendant I created for my bestie’s yoga teacher, and asked if I could make him one for his girl.

He chose a black leather choker for the piece, which nicely changes the feel. It looks just as amazing as the brown I used on the previous one I made.

The lotus flower is also known as a water lily. As well as the gorgeous flower, it has the most amazing seed pod!

Eudialyte and Sterling Silver Pendant

eudialyte and silver pendant – handmade in brisbane

This eudialyte and silver pendant came about because Vera came to my workshop and browsed through my gemstone collection. There were a lot of choices, but Vera finally narrowed it down and chose two eudialyte stones for me to create with – one for her, and one for her partner. Vera’s piece is the eudialyte and silver cuff you can see more of here.

Her partner’s piece is this eudialyte and silver pendant. It’s a whoppingly big cabochon, great for a larger person! Eudialyte is a lovely stone and you can read more about it here.

I created this abstract sterling silver pendant for one of my dear besties for her birthday. Solid Silver Reticulated Pendant

I made the bottom of the pendant by heating the solid chunk of silver until it melted and became round and reticulated, and added a spiral of wire as the bail.
