Renee Larson Everything Lovely Designs This Jewelry Set

I asked one of my customers who had bought some vintage Montana Blue Swarovski Tiffany style settings from my shop a few months ago, if she would be so kind as to send me a picture or two of her designs. I was very interested in seeing how she used those gorgeous settings. I had a feeling she had done something spectacular, and she did! So beautiful and unique, I was stunned and impressed with what she dreampt up. Here are the pictures of Renee Larson's Design. Enjoy....

Hand Aged Patina Brass Stamping

I aged this brass stamping I am fond of the color, particularly. I patina brass naturally and it takes a while to get the verdigris this
Color! I do prefer to age the pieces using the natural method, but one would assume that using the paste would be the faster!
