Friday Feature ~ Diane's Dangles

Meet Diane of Diane's Dangles!  Diane began her crafting journey through making beaded earrings.  She realized it was a great stress reliever from her day job.  Diane creates jewelry that really "pops" and has lots of color.  I love her studio!  It is so bright and welcoming.  It is very hard to choose just a few favorites!  Visit her studio and you will see for yourself!  From her gallery of personal pictures on Artfire, I can see Diane travels quite a bit.  She probably draws a lot of inspiration from these adventures.  I know I would!

Square Hematite Gemstone Fine Silver Dangle Earrings ~ I have never seen a pair of earrings quite so unique.  Add these to my Christmas wishlist!

Brown Tiger Eye Large Gemstone Sterling Pendant ~ This necklace is AMAZING!  It is so rich in color and the sterling silver really brings it out.

Square Seraphinite Gemstone Sterling Silver Ring ~ I love how this ring looks like it has the ocean in it.  I get a calm feeling while looking at it.

Bold Sterling Silver Hammered Cuff Bracelet ~ Can you believe this is handmade?  It is beautiful!  I wish I could make things like this!

I hope you will visit Diane's studio at http://dianesdangles.artfire.com/.  I have enjoyed looking through her shop and finding some amazing jewelry!

When I was browsing Candy's studio, this magnificent piece jumped off the page at me!  They look kind of like coffee beans (which I love!) and are actually fresh water pearls!

This gorgeous pendant looks like seeing the sun through the branches.  The chain is sterling silver.  Simple, yet amazing!

This key chain is so fun and unique!  It features a theater mask and purple glass beads.  A great gift for that aspiring actor/actress!
