Crowned With Pearls

When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and allow Him to be your Lord and Savior you are adopted into His family and become the son or daughter of the King! This special piece was made with this in mind for a lovely daughter of the King. The light of Jesus Christ shines so brightly through her that everyone around her cannot help but experience the joy she possesses. So I tried to capture all of these elements in this bracelet.

First, I started off with building a wire base in the shape of a crown.

Pearls are the oldest known gem. Because of its "warm inner glow" and shimmering iridescence, it has been valued and collected for more than 4,000 years. The historical significance of pearls was something I wanted to incorporate into this piece, as pearls have been associated with royalty - just what I wanted to capture!

I wrapped jet iridescent pearl beads around the wire crown-shaped fame and added Swarovski bicone crystals at the peaks of the bracelet frame. The outcome is a crown-shaped adjustable bracelet.

City of Light

How do you capture a woman's love for Paris, it's splendor and beauty, and integrate this with the understated sophistication of this beautiful woman? That is a very hard task, but here was my attempt. :-) 

Jules loves Paris, and it is her dream to journey to this historic city. She is an artist whose creativity is seen in everything she does. So I tried to think of the historic sites that she enjoys and pieced them together in this necklace. 

The Eiffel Tower is probably the most popular and iconic symbol associated with Paris, so clearly that had to be integrated into this piece and became its focal point.  

The infamous River Seine flows through the heart of Paris, and the Fontaines de la Concorde is one of the most famous fountains in the city. With water being another key feature of the city, I tried to capture that by the use of flowing chains to represent the flow of the water.

And lastly, Paris is known as the "City of Light" (La Ville Lumière). So I selected iridescent and silver beads, along with a Swarovski crystal to reflect the light.

And voilà! This is what you end up with. :-)
