Wire wrapped jewelry gallery: Aquamarine jewelry for March

Browse through my jewelry or this blog and you'll see that I'm a big fan of blue. This is why I love the March birthstone, which is the light blue aquamarine. In honor of this month -- and in spring, which will hopefully be here soon -- here are some of my favorite jewellery pieces that feature aquamarine colored crystals. All of my jewelry can be purchased at Naomi's Designs or MayaGirl Creations.

Blue and turquoise anodized aluminum earrings wire wrapped with silver and aquamarine square crystals

This is the first time I've worked with my anodized aluminum. I had fun making these colorful abstract earrings and am pleased with the way that they turned out.

I wanted to practice cutting simple shapes so I sawed out rectangular strips -- and to my pleasant surprise, 24 gauge anodized aluminum is very easy to cut through. I made the blue strips longer than the turquoise so that when I layered them, it would look as if the colors were fading into one another.

Because anodized aluminum can't be soldered, I had to come up with a way to attach the strips and decide to go with a silver wire wrapped design. I have these square aquamarine crystals that work really well with the blues so I attached them to the wire wrapped design using very thin 28 gauge silver wire.

I had a great time making these and can't wait to experiment with more anodized aluminum designs!
