I am really enjoying combining raw brass with semi precious gemstones. I think the combination of these materials is beautifully striking and contemporary.
I make these using raw brass square charms and semi precious natural faceted tourmaline beads hand wrapped with gold wire. I hang them on gold coated French hooks.
 
My new variation uses beautiful natural faceted 4mm genuine Emerald precious green gemstones. May birthstone. They have gorgeous variations in colour, and shape.
these ones are hang on stainless steel ear wires.
 
Now also with a single cube of a Natural teal Aqua Terra Jasper bead. Each of these beads are about 4-5x4-5mm and have a beautiful array of blues and browns.
