At last! My mom has been at me for the fact that, despite all the jewellery I make, I’ve never made myself something. Well, here it is, the dragonfly bracelet.

It’s very me; I promised myself that if I ever did this I would go all out on materials:

  • Sterling silver oversized dragonfly clasp
  • 4mm bicone Swarovski crystals in Aqua
  • 3mm bicone Swarovski Crystals in Caribbean Blue
  • 4mm Deep brown Swarovski pearls
  • 2mm sterling silver seed beads
  • Smoky Quartz finish Japanese delicas
  • 2 Sterling silver filigree cone ends

I’m in love with it. It’s inspira’ish by my personality – I love turquoise, I love silver and I love photographing insects – particularly dragonflies. I love late summer when the big drowsy ones come out.

This one is sort of  munching on a ladybug.

I can’t wait to see it in the sunlight!
