Jewelry Designs

I've crossed over to jewelry-making lately (as has everyone else, says my cousin), after discovering Miriam Haskell designs.
This has been a long-term project that incorporates my love of antiques with my need to create.There's really no affordable way now to create the kind of beautiful centerpieces the Haskell company did years ago, so I've found a way to incorporate
antique and vintage brooches into necklaces to give a similar result, without the cost of having to create the whole piece from scratch.
Getting the centerpiece balanced and properly matched up to the color of available
beads has been tricky, and pretty time-consuming, but I like the end result so far.

I've been shopping for the brooches/etc all over the state of NC for the last three years, and finally got a few finished designs in a couple of shops just as the economy crashed.

So it's hard to tell how they will be received, though a couple have recently sold.
I've noticed the idea becoming a trend, except using cheaper centerpiece reproductions.

Am posting a few below, with prices. The photo backgrounds are not the best, but I'll make some better ones later.
