The Sun Dress Collection

(Updated 11/12/2008)

When summer officially began in the Pacific Northwest (and that means the day after July 4th because our heater was usually still coming on until then...) I break out out the Sundress Collection. Everything about these pieces says, "Yea, it's summer, I have on my favorite dress, shoes and jewels!"

Click on images to enlarge.

Sundress

These are all freshwater pearls and, with the exception of the white and yellow true based pearls, they are all dyed into fabulous colors. When I say dyed I mean permanently dyed. These are sandy beach colors, white, brown, off yellow and blue and very pale green. The little fish are made by Karen Hill tribe from Thailand. The focal shell is carved mother of pearl. The clasp is a Balinese cone and my handmade swirl S hook. It hooks onto a small round pearl ring. $120

$120

River Dance

This is a really fun, fun piece. It is made from mother of pearl, dyed Tennessee River shell and Karen Hill tribe snail beads. It is 17" long but can extend to 20". The chain is sterling silver. Very fun and very light weight. See the pearl fish fetish? There is a lot going on in this necklace!

$125

Paradise

Paradise is a sterling silver chain, wire wrapped with pink and white and pale yellow flat Tennessee River dyed shells. My handmade sterling silver charms hang in front and on the sides of the necklace. Paradise is 20" long and closes with an s hook.

It's the fossilized snail that takes notice in this 4 layered strand of freshwater pearls. Karen hill tribe snails and hill tribe stamped beads are also mixed in. The snail is on the top strand and lays over the others. It is 18 inches long and closes with a larger bali silver clasp.
