Finshed Jewelry Sets

Here are two jewelry sets I made as Christmas gifts.

This set was requested after seeing a picture in a magazine. I tweaked the design a little, but the overall product was very similar to the photograph.




This set was my own creation. A friend gave me the white pearl stones (a family heirloom) and wanted me to make a necklace from them. Here is the finished product.

Mike and Alison went up to Kingsport over Thanksgiving while I stayed home and tried to get a few things OFF my To-Do list.
