Summer Romance Ring by Erin of Heartsabustin

Summer is just about over, but it's romance will linger forever with this beautiful wide ring.

* Fine silver ring and roses

* Tiny cubic zirconia accents


Romantic Hearts by Anise of Seavbeach

Romantic Hearts necklace is created by painting onto a beautiful handpicked heart shaped leaf. Many layers go into painting metal clay onto each one. Oxidized to bring out each leafs veining. Reminiscent of a warm romantic summer coming to an end and the anticipation of a brisk autumn breeze.


Tree of Love necklace by Sue of Somethingxtraspecial

The tree where love grows! This highly detailed tree has a central heart focal, and on the branches many more fruits of love growing. It has a green sheen showing through.



Kauai- fine silver, pearl necklace by Jennifer of Envydesignsjewelry

This fine silver necklace was made for the Metal Clay Heads team bi-monthly challenge.
The theme is summer romance. What is more romantic than Kauai, Hawaii?



Love Grows pendant by Vicki of Jewelflyt

...from the smallest seed...grows love...

This handcrafted pendant is made from precious metal clay - fine silver.

Rectangular in shape, love grows features a garden of raised spirals. The largest is set with a sparkly pale pink 4mm cubic zirconia (lab created).




Turtle Love pendant by Robin of Adornedbyrobin

My Turtle Love pendant was inspired by two things, a love of nature and the gulf oil crisis. Sea turtles in particular amaze me because they are so helpless on land and seem to soar in the water. I used my torch to create a heat patina for the first time, which was more difficult than I expected.



Love is ... - Fine silver pendant with Love is... inscription by Ghislaine of GS Creations

These two intertwind hearts are made with 99.9% pure silver. They are stamped with the words "Love is...". These letters have been oxidized to bring them out and the center of the piece has been filled with transluscent red glass paint.



Fine Silver Spinner Ring by Tammi of Mybrownwren

This is my summer romance challenge piece. It is a fine silver spinner ring. There is a heart sitting atop a summer flower.
