Thank you, everyone, for your positive feedback! @BWeaves, I love Etruscan jewellery (I am actually a specialist in Etruscan archaeology) so there are definitely ancient influences in my work. I’d love to gain experience as a goldsmith so that I can create more antiquity-inspired pieces in the future!

I just completed this necklace and matching earring set over the weekend, and it is also heavily inspired by Etruscan designs. No pearls, but it does have vibrant, deep blue apatite beads. I also made a carnelian version of the necklace to really lean into the ancient world vibes! Please excuse my dusty black neck prop - I need to purchase a white one at some point soon!

WOWZA! Gorgeous.

So pretty ! And so much work ! My patience certainly would not allow me to attempt such pieces... I'd probably throw them across the room at some point lol.

Wonderful pieces and they look so nice on you!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments! I’ve always enjoyed the satisfaction of making something substantial out of tiny components like seed beads. But yes, it certainly does require patience (which is good practice for me, since patience isn’t always my strong suit!).
