Pendants – Suzanne Séguin Design

OCEANA

Suzanne Séguin — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:19:42 +0000

“Oceana” is named for the muted greens, blues and rose tones drawn from the handmade Raku cabochon by MakuStudio, and the oval Labradorite shimmers like the light refracting from a shallow tide pool. The elaborate fringing features Swarovski pearls and crystals, Czech fire polish beads and daggers, and the highest quality Japanese seed beads.

All of this is suspended on a Kumihimo beaded rope with a pink herringbone spiral leading up to the 2 pink opals and antique silver plated chain.

Approximate Measurements:
Necklace: 24 inches
Pendant: 3 x 5 1/2 inches including bail

MONA (SOLD)

Suzanne Séguin — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:07:12 +0000

“Mona” is sure to bring a little sparkle and some admiring glances your way with its asymmetrical whimsy. The oval stone is rather unique—a Spiny Copper Seraphinite, and has been paired with Labradorite in a matching hue. Two colorful Swarovski pendants (1” and 1.5” long) are suspended from a rare AnnaBronze leaf component, and their colors are echoed in the freshwater pearls, a variety of shaped Czech beads, and highest quality Japanese seed beads for the rest of the piece. An antique brass colored chain completes this one-of-a-kind jewelry offering.

Approximate measurements:
Chain: 22 inches
Pendant: 2 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches

Rosa

0cterre190716 — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 19:16:03 +0000

As an artist of my genre, it is common to create lovely beaded components without a specific design in mind, building an inventory of treasures for future use. “Rosa” was created with 2 of these components— one with a blue Abalone shell and the other a beautifully embellished Swarovski drop.

To echo the squared patterns of the Abalone component I attached these two pieces with a rectangular purple Imperial Jasper, creating a beautiful color palette of blue, purple, and rose. The necklace is composed of 62 Swarovski pearls, blue glass beads, and attached to the pendant with a couple of matching, yet asymmetrical components in the same rose colors as the drop.

Approximate measurements:
Pendant: 3 ¼ x 1 ¾’’
Necklace: 20’’

Windya

0cterre190716 — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 19:09:20 +0000

“Windya” is my last creation for 2022!

I love using handmade AnnaBronze masks and her components in my creations. I started this design with the silver mask and created windy hair with 3 brass components. The mask seems to come out of the Druzy Viper Skin Jasper that is surrounded with gold and purple crescent beads, and the Fossilized Coral echoes the grey spots of the Druzy. An American Jasper decorated with sequins brings all the colors together, and the Swarovski rivoli adds a little “glitz” to the pendant. Just below the face I added contrasting beaded herringbone ropes to accentuate the movement of the wind. Two purple Keshi pearls add a softness to the design. I hope that you will enjoy this whimsical piece of artisan jewelry.

Approximate measurements:
Pendant: 3 ½ x 5’’
Necklace: 20’’

Samira

Samira exudes a Southwest/Santa Fe vibe with her turquoise, copper and bronze tones. The Red Jasper focal stone contrasts beautifully with the array of Swarovski crystals & pearls, Czech glass beads, and highest quality Japanese seed beads.

Sophia

0cterre190716 — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 23:00:30 +0000

Sophia sports the casual colors of a Mediterranean seaside village on her enameled copper focal component. The same hues are echoed in the embellishments from the braided leather necklace to the Swarovski crystals & pearls and the highest quality Japanese seed beads. The copper plated JBB clasp and additional copper components really complement the color palette. Hand finished UltraSuede backing. This would look especially lovely with denim or with a flowing gauzy summer dress.
