Sour Grapes?

[Dennis]

My encounter with filigree during the autumn, convinced me that I would never become proficient at making those little whorls from twisted wire. So I have decided to settle for just the petal shaped outlines, which are easy enough to make from rolled down wire using looping pliers.

And anyhow, this look is much more modern… well, that’s my story anyhow. So here is my necklace in demi-filigree, with its tube set rhodolite garnets and home made findings.

The adjustment chain, ends in a little charm with back to back stones and the hook is made from triangular wire- one of the joys of drawing your own.

Then, just in case all this is all too pretty- pretty , some funky ear studs to go with it. Dennis.

Not wanting to repeat what others have said, but they're absolutely right, a gorgeous pendant and lovely earrings. Not often that I say this, but "I WANT!". Your family are indeed lucky.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I don't have any proprietorial feelings for my stuff, so in posting it I hope that someone will take up the idea and build on it. Regards Dennis.
