My first cluster ring...

These days, it seems that every accessory store has some type of cluster/dangle/motion ring. They're really fun pieces and I'd have a bunch, except that the stores charge an absolutely ridiculous amount of money for a piece of jewelry that uses a relatively low amount of materials. So, before you know it, I'm muttering, "I can make that for less!" And off I go...

This particular ring uses faceted two-toned glass beads, freshwater pearls, and sterling silver. I love the way this ring turned out, so I'm keeping it. Haha. I do have enough material leftover to make another one to list on Etsy. Due to the nature of freshwater pearls and the way these glass beads are made, it's impossible to recreate the exact thing. Just as well, since the whole point of creating is to create.

I'll add pictures once I figure out what's wrong with Blogger.
