Garden Inspiration for my Floral Themed Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry

My favorite jewelry to make?  Definitely floral.  My garden makes me happy all four seasons.  In fact my home has lots of flower accents - from draperies to pillows, watercolors to wallpaper.  Flowers are essential to my wellbeing.  So its no wonder that I actually love gardening and am passionate about my roses and lilies.

I thought I'd share a few photos of my favorite blossoms this growing season.  Our crepe myrtles are still blooming and just lovely this year.  

Did I mention I like pink?!

Take Your Garden With You Floral Jewelry

I'm a addicted to flowers.  Though lilies and roses are my favorites, I don't think there's a flower I don't love.  Flowers are not limited to my garden either.  You'll find floral motifs throughout our home and in my jewelry box.  I just can't resist a blossom, especially if I can take it with me everywhere.

Take a look at this handcrafted flower blossom bracelet:  

It is truly like a corsage on your wrist. Yummy Cherry Quartz big flat twisted oval gemstone beads have gorgeous cherry rose color and are transluscent with pretty veining. Combined in this bracelet with Freshwater Pearls in creamy white. Focal is the hand carved flower blossom which looks like a breeze is gently ruffling the petals. Hand wire wrapped with sterling with a cascade of freshwater pearls for a stamen. Sterling silver accents.  Browse Bittersweet Ridge for more unusual one of a kind floral jewelry creations.

Summer Rose and Honey Bee Garden Jewelry

I love to sip my first cup of coffee out on the back porch.  It feels so private with lush wisteria covering the pergola roof, yet there are distant vistas of our meadows to stretch the eye.  Hummingbirds are fluttered from flower to flower and honey bees are working their magic in the garden.  The smell of lilies and roses is incredibly sweet that it is intoxicating. 

Drunk on flower scents is a good way to be in my studio.  My own flowers inspire a lot of my work.  This handcrafted pink rose and honey bee bracelet is a good example.  It is composed of big beautiful sage green Aventurine is hand wire wrapped with vintage brass. Wonderful three dimensional vintage brass bee seems headed for the hand carved pink Rose Quartz rose. Pretty little carved Aventurine leaf accent.  Just one example of  lovely one of a kind flower garden jewelry from Bittersweet Ridge.
