Romancing the Stones Part 2Posted by Rickie Voges Design on 2/1/2009I have two jewelry personalities--one wants to indulge the whimsey and individuality of artisan lampwork and the other loves working with gemstones. Sometimes I focus on the gems, others the lampwork and sometimes I manage to put them together. This gallery is meant to show you the 'gemstone' me...the one who likes elegant, rich, precious and semiprecious gemstones lovingly combined for a heirloom treasure. This is me truly romancing the stones and trying to make them sing.

A little romance, a hint of the exotic and this sterling silver bangle is sure to win a place in your heart. Five slender sterling silver bangles are joined together with an elegant sterling bead encrused with amethyst gemstones, add another granulated sterling bead, an amethyst briolette, and a fanta orange spessertite garnet to heighten the sensual beauty of this elegant art for your wrist. |

I fell in love with Etruscan jewelry after touring the Gregorian Etruscan Museum at the Vatican in Rome. I love the rich gold color of the hammered metals--the designs and details. While no where close in detail and workmanship, this bracelet evokes a memory of the palette and feel I had for the beautiful art from so very long ago. Granulated 22k gold vermeil Bail beads combine with carved mellon moss aquamarine beads, prehnite, and chalcedony. |

Well, it is that time of year--isn't February the month of romance...or rain and mudslides if you live in Southern California like I do. I depart from my subject--this necklace came from trying to figure out what to do with an adorable, quirky hammered sterling heart I purchase some time ago from Alicia Abla--why wrap it in jewels says I! Then the chain needed a little complementing embellishment and voila! Let Me Call You Sweetheart was born! |

Luscious lavendar--a perfect springtime bracelet with pink amethyst gemstones. Like the first hyacinths of springtime this bracelet is a first glimpse at my spring gemstone line. Perfect for a spring wedding or evening out--this sparkles with style. |

This bracelet seems to me as delicate and delightful as the first tender flowers of springtime. Pastel ametrine carved leaves combine with keishi petal pearls for a feminine and lovely bracelet accented with 22k gold vermeil clasp. |

My current love is working with artisan designed lampwork beads, because they are individual, intricate and ever evolving. When you design a piece of jewelry with lampwork it is an original, one of a kind labor of love. Working in this media is a wonderful outlet for my creativity and there is so much to learn that I will be busy for a good while!
A special thanks goes to the wonderful lampwork artisans who inspire my mind and capture my fancy.
