Morning
I have had a love of turquoise for some time but it is so expensive that I have only purchased small chips and small cubes, but have not felt sure what to make.
So I have finally decided what to make and I really am pleased with the result. From the small chips I made a bracelet and used Sterling Silver findings and small beads to make the turquoise shine.
Then I took the cubes which already had drilled holes because they came on a strand. I increased the width and depth of the hole on one side of the cube to accommodate the ball head of a sterling silver headpin. By recessing the ball, and pushing the headpin through this enabled me to efficiently make stud ear rings.
If you enjoyed these makes then please let me know.
