Designing a New Spring/Summer 24` Jewelry Collection!
Hand dyed Taureg leather strips freshly shipped from Mali.
Exploring leather form ideas
Making bezels for gemstones out of sterling silver sheet.
Forming wire accents for each bezel style.
Soldered wire forms complete.
Making leather tassels.
Leather tassel attached to wire form. I added some balled head pin accents to the tassels for more dimension and interest.
Trying on for size. I couldn`t decide between the short or long tassels so I decided to do versions of both.
Adding the final element, the beautiful sapphire gemstone!
A few finished styles.
