I completely spoiled my sister for her birthday last weekend.

I wanted to make her something that she could keep forever. This necklace is sapphire with white gold beads and a white gold box clasp, knotted on silk. It took me roughly 10 hours, mostly because I got three inches from the end and the silk broke in a way that I couldn't repair. The second time through was much smoother, and results were pretty fantastic. These sapphires sparkle beautifully and knotting them made them silky and luscious.

She's also having a love-affair with pocket watches. I can't image carrying one around, but I love mechanical and watch bits, so I sent her one where the gears are visible. This one is by Charles Hubert - I love his designs.
