DML jewellery design
 
The Angel I dreamt about. A commissioned piece for one of my special clients, She said she would love an angel but struggling to find one what she liked, after that I couldn't stop dreaming about angels, I explained to her about my dream and she just said make it! now she says it reminds her of her Mother who passed away, and it's her favourite jewellery piece. I truly love this piece and I'm sure it was an angelic experience.

Sea glass, seaweed silver necklace

www.jewellerydesignbydml.co.uk
Beautifull blood red sea glass, and chunky round link sterling silver chain gives it a soft rock chick look, oxidised to give depth and for the gorgeous detail to pop. It will be for sale in my Etsy shop at the weekend.  

 
Close up of the back, as you can see, the seaweed was fossilized in the silver, a delicate statement piece.

Large rare red Victorian sea glass surrounded by silver seaweed
My eyes sore from looking for sea glass, was going to call it a day when this beauty hit my eye, and next to it was some seaweed, so I couldn't leave it there all alone, so dried the seaweed then hand painted it about 27 times in fine silver, (I thought I'm not doing this again) letting it dry between coats, then kiln fired it, the back has left the beautiful detail of the seaweed! I found them together so they stayed together! I will take a photograph of the finished piece with its beautiful chain as I waited for the post man to knock, it's arrived so must finish it! I will be making sea glass seaweed again as this has turned out stunning. I love looking at it and touching it, some lucky girl will be wearing it.

Donna, saw this and thought of you. The Wise Woman’s Stone
Author: Unknown

  A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day, she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.
The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.”I’ve been thinking,” he said, “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.”
I cried! thank you Sheila x

Brought back to life! 20 years sitting in a draw, how sad I thought. "Can you fix it?" Scratched, split but worth the weight in gold, so sentimental and a 18th birthday present from her beloved Mother. "I can revamp it"? just wish I took a photograph before I brought it back to life! she loved it!
When the item is in your heart a replacement just wont do, A mother's love means everything.
