The English Country Garden

 This is a collection to celebrate the beauty of the garden in various media - wire, crystals, gemstones, polymer clay - anything that allows me to recreate my second passion - my garden! I have for you a few pictures of my own garden taken over the years - and some jewellery to match. If you fancy another look at my garden, try The East Coast Desi who featured it on her blog.
Dawn
The lady in this beautiful art nouveau brass stamping imported from the USA looks like she is looking out of her window at the garden around her with a delicate yawn. Wire work surrounds the pendant, embellished with gemstones, Czech glass leaves and beads. The pendant, which is 3" in diameter is hung on a 22" long blue jade and jasper necklace with African Baule beads as accents, finished with an ornamental hook clasp.

My Lady d'Arbanville
An art nouveau brass stamping, imported from the USA is the centrepiece of this pendant. It is framed with non tarnish enamelled copper wire, twined and wound around the central 'lady' to give the appearance of rambling roses. The beads are ruby quartz, and a dyed red jade teardrop dangles from the end. The pendant comes on a red organza necklace, but you can pick another colour if you prefer. 3" x 2"
