Etsy Featured Artist - Signature Sterling

Sue, of Signature Sterling etsy shop, is an avid beader of only 2 1/2 years. Her jewelry is so well-made and thought out, that you would think she's been doing this for decades. She really has a natural eye for putting pieces together. She uses quality materials and findings, such as Swarovski crystal, semi-precious gemstones, pearls, artisan lampwork beads, and, of course, sterling silver to make these quality pieces. Some of her pieces are meant to be custom, and you choose the components for the piece.
Here are a few examples of her work, but you really should go to her etsy shop, listed below, to see her full range of jewelry. You will be glad you did.
"GARNETS AFIRE - Garnet, Mexican Fire Opal, and Sterling Silver Necklace" has a faceted Mexican Fire Opal as a focal, surrounded by garnet round beads, sterling Bali rounds, and sterling rounds. Gorgeous, and ready to wear to any occasion, formal or not.
"ACADIA SUNSET Bracelet - Artisan Lampwork and Sterling Silver Bangle Bracelet" is so pretty with lampwork beads made by two lampwork artists, sterling beads, and sterling bangle. Matching earrings are also available at a discount if you buy both together.
"CANYON Earrings - Silver Leaf Jasper and Sterling Silver Earrings" are simple, but oh-so-lovely, with their Silver Leaf Jasper, sterling silver round beads, and sterling silver earwires. Sue says, "I have absolutely fallen in love with this semi-precious gemstone! Silver leaf jasper is so organic in its coloring, variegated with shades of browns, silvery grays, greens, and even some occasional wonderful brick reds." A matching bracelet is also available, and will be discounted if purchased as a set with these earrings.
