Distinctive Style & Design

I design and make rosaries and jewelry. Check here for new designs and ideas, sometimes before they make it to my web site. For more of my products see my web site: www.RosariesAndJewelryByLaura.com

Location: Aurora, Colorado, United States

I have been making rosaries for about 29 years, and jewelry for almost as long. I enjoy the whole process from beginning to end, and can usually be found to have a pair of pliers, wire and maybe some kind of beads in my hands, except possibly when I'm sleeping.

Challenges


This has been a week of challenges! It started out with my printer dying, and ended up with me getting a new one that won't talk to my computer. Of course the fact that my computer is 8 years old, wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it? Hopefully tech support or one of my computer savvy friends can get them to get along and play nice.

I managed to get some time to wrap come cabs and make a few necklaces. This is one of them. The cab is blue lace agate, as are the large oval and round beads on the necklace. The smaller roundells are amethyst. It is wrapped in Argentium sterling silver, as is the chain and center piece. I made the chain out of 18 gauge wire this time due to the weight of the piece. It's not for the faint of heart! It will definitely make someone stand out who wears it!

I've got a couple more I'll get up as soon as I get them finished. Meanwhile, I'm going to be talking with tech support tomorrow and hoping that they will manage to get my computer talking with my printer!
