Lately, I've been playing a lot with so called mosaic gemstone necklace designs. I've made my first one back in 2009 as a present for a friend and I just realized that I've never shown it here on my blog. So here comes the first one in my mosaic necklace series with purple, lilac and violet gemstones and pearls in sterling silver.

It's been 3 years since I've made my second DIY jewelry tutorial. Over these past 3 years I've made several different variations of gemstone hoops with different metals and gemstones.

I love making custom orders. It is so much fun when people ask me to create things I otherwise wouldn't think to make, or things that I've been planning but just haven't gotten around to yet. Like this order for example. One of my customers fell in love with my gemstone hoops but she wanted them in Autumnal color palette instead. I've been wanted to make more gemstone hoops in different color combination for ages now so this time it was a perfect opportunity to do just that :)

So here are the latest ones with Carnelians, Citrines, Garnets and Peridots in 14 gold filled.
