Jewelry for an autumn wedding

I recently had the opportunity to create custom jewelry for a friend's bridal party to be worn in her autumn wedding.  It was a very fun project as I was free to create whatever I thought would look nice on her ladies.  I chose a palette of ivory, chocolate and citrine to compliment the brown, ivory and mango they would be wearing on the day of her early October wedding.

Each of the six matching necklaces were composed of yellow citrine faceted briolettes and ivory and chocolate brown freshwater pearls.  Each briolette is wire wrapped in 14 k gold filled fine wire. The trio is accented with 24 k Bali gold vermeil headpins and suspended from a delicate 14 k gold filled chain.  

The earrings feature a citrine teardrop and a cluster of ivory freshwater pearls hanging beneath gold vermeil French earwires.  

 

I am so pleased with how the pieces turned out.  The style is so different from anything that I've ever done, and I think that I would like to try other pieces using similar materials.  The bride was pleased too, and said they brought the ensembles together nicely. 

Cello Wedding Wings

Hello Philly! Sorry for being absent so long.
This is a custom pair of wings I created with wire and cellophane for a lovely May bride. They are a little under 5' tall and around 2.5' wide.

Wedding Wings

I finished up three custom orders this week, and all three pairs of wings were created to a bride's specifications.






The first was for a lady in Canada who needed a super sparkly strapless version of my Erin wings in gold and pink to match her dress.







The second was designed for a flower girl to be a water fairy in her mother's wedding and features a hand made satin and organza white water lily decorating the back.













And the third was for a bride in the United Kingdom, a customized pair of my small Hilary wings in white glitter fabric and olive green to match her gorgeous bridesmaid dresses.
