Labradorite Earring Upgrade

I love the tear drop shape of these labradorite hoops. I also love labradorite. But something was missing.

I love the yellow and grey combo but instead of like this, I changed it up like this, and they sold :) 

Ruby earrings redesign

My best friend from highschool got married and I made a pair of earrings similar to the ones on the left. Pearls, rubies, gold. Very fancy. But when I made these to sell, no bites. I toned it down a bit with labradorites bc I think everything looks great with labs and this is where I ended up. What do you prefer? 

Rough Black Diamonds go from Earrings to Necklace in Redesign

Before and afters are so fun. Especially the photos. I have a hard time leaving my jewelry alone. If I have a piece that doesn't sell at a show or two, or I notice I'm not wearing at all, I start to change it up. Here are a few of such things.

1. The rough black diamond earrings.

I had a beautiful strand of sparkly black rough diamonds. I made them into hoops but I never ever wore them. 

So I turned it into a necklace. 

Which do you like better? I love the pink topaz with this dark and yet very sparkly chain. 

2. Next is this necklace I made as one of my first projects. Just labs and moonstones on a silver chain. 

It was classic, simple, and not selling. I added pearls and iolites for more variety and made the sections bigger. 

Finally I decided I didn't like the chain so I removed that and it ended up looking like this and was given as a gift.
