Pretty red...





I'm not much of a "red" person but I like this color of red...it is what I like to call a "blue red".

This is actually marble that has been dyed...I've placed it in a sterling silver bezel, to which I've soldered a U shaped sterling silver bail to the back. Very simple, but eye catching I think!





A matching pair of earrings to compliment the dyed marble pendant.

The stones are set in a sterling silver bezel to which I've soldered sterling silver ear wire.

I rather like this style of earring as it has it's own safety feature...


Cheers

  2. Just beautiful Heather and I so love the u shaped bail you added to the pendant. Red is colour I don't use much either but on the odd occasion I've worn something red I've received compliments, I blame my mum, LOL, she always told me it wasn't the right colour for me so I was always reluctant to wear it.

  5. Have just stumbled onto your blog and had to comment on this. It's beautifully simple. I love this red, also. I don't care for tomato red...too much orange. I would wear this. The combination of the pendant and earrings is beautiful. You're very talented !
