Fall 2010 Collection Spotlight: Rivke, the Wire Wrapped Gemstones

I chose mostly teardrop shaped precious and semi-precious briolettes for a series of new gemstone pendants and earrings. All gems are tightly coiled with 24, 22 and 20 gauge sterling silver wire and anti-tarnish silver plated wire for a lovely, even, smooth gleam of silver. Here's a peek at some of my favorite stones from the Rivke series:

Sterling silver earrings - with pale purple amethyst round gem briolettes - pink - RIVKE by Amore Valkyrie on Etsy

Sterling silver necklace - with large amethyst gem briolette, tiny quartz gem briolette and sterling silver charm trio - RIVKE by Amore Valkyrie on Etsy

Sterling silver chain necklace - with tiny clear crystal quartz round briolette semiprecious stone - RIVKE by Amore Valkyrie on Etsy

Sterling silver earrings - with pale purple amethyst round gem briolettes - pink - RIVKE by Amore Valkyrie on Etsy

These were meant to be the simplest, most minimalist pieces available at Amore Valkyrie. The gemstones can be mixed and matched with blank sterling silver charms also available. They are meant for every day wear - the go-to pop of sparkle and color for any occasion.

Check us out on Facebook!

Update: Amore Valkyrie Facebook fan page hit its first milestone - 25 fans!  Achieving a roster of 25 fans enables a fan page to change its URL to a "vanity URL."  The original URL still works, but now I've also designated a shorter, prettier URL: http://www.facebook.com/AmoreValkyrieJewelry.  Cool, eh?
