North American turquoise pendant and bracelet

by Rochelle Hughes
(Red Deer, AB, Canada)

Every time I look at turquoise I see the sky and the ocean, so I wanted to invoke a sea creature in an abstract sort of way and at the same time I wanted the North American turquoise to shine and emulate a window to the sea. I hope you enjoy these pieces and inspire others to tell a story with jewelry!

I used North American turquoise, 16g sterling silver, 26g sterling silver.

I love turquoise
by: Anonymous

It also reminds me of fresh summer, probably from vacations. I like that the overall design and how you added the stone.

Beautiful
by: zoraida

The design is lovely! I especially like the pendant,the way you captured it with the wire and created the nautilus/sea shell design.

Stunning
by: Rena

Rochelle, these pieces are simply stunning. I love the netted settings you created for the stones, and the organic wirework that sort of grows out of that. Really eye-catching.

Thanks so much for sharing these here - very inspiring!
