Silver Petal Studio: February 2012
http://silverpetalstudio.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 25, 2012. Textured Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet with a bezel set Owyhee Sunset Jasper cabochon. $182. True yellow is a color that I have rarely seen in opaque stones. I love the look of it's warmth against the cool crisp color of the silver. Yellow and gray just seems so modern and fresh to me. This stone is 100% natural and absolutely untreated. Mother Nature is definitely the most talented artist. Posted by Denise O'Connor. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. It's Been Too Long. Yesterday...

Silver Petal Studio: November 2011
http://silverpetalstudio.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 6, 2011. 72 inch hand wrapper Sterling Silver and Labradorite. Necklace with a hand forged Sterling Silver "Leaf" pendant/clasp. $210. Locally made goods of better quality for less than the big retailers with all their "buying power"? For the past couple of years, one of my staple pieces has been a long hand wrapped chain with gemstone beads, usually pearls. Given my affinity for neutral. While flipping through the channels a couple of weeks ago, a necklace on HSN. And it got me thinking.

Silver Petal Studio: October 2011
http://silverpetalstudio.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Tiger's eye, unakite, glass and sterling silver necklace with a hand forged sterling silver. Paisley pendant with a bezel set cabochon. $196. I am always on the hunt for an unusual and unique stone to use in my work. It has to be the right stone. an interesting specimen, an eye pleasing balanced shape, a good cut to aid in setting, rich color. I attend gem shows and constantly scour the internet for these little treasures. Posted by Denise O'Connor. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Silver Petal Studio: Spring Pansies
http://silverpetalstudio.blogspot.com/2012/03/spring-pansies.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. Sterling silver pansy pendant with a bezel set 5mm faceted white topaz stone on a sterling silver chain. $128. March is a crazy weather month in Pittsburgh. Mild one March, a foot of snow the next. No matter what the temperature though, you can count on it being gray and gloomy. Not this March. It's sunny and warm and downright glorious.

A couple of years ago, I started to blog about my work, focusing on my process, inspiration and individual pieces. I wanted to come up with a way for people to know more about the item they purchased and customers seem to. Really enjoy it. You can read my current blog at. Or my older posts at my former.

Silver Petal Studio: Versatility
http://silverpetalstudio.blogspot.com/2012/03/versatility.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. Aquamarine and Sterling Silver hand wrapped 72 inch chain. With a hand forged Sterling Silver leaf toggle. $215. I have really been into making these chains lately. Gemstones linked together by hand wrapped silver loops. Long enough to wear doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled. The addition of a pendant that functions as a toggle clasp not only adds to the design but increases its versatility by allowing the piece to also be worn as a lariat too. Posted by Denise O'Connor.
