Jeannine Rosenberg Designs

One of the things I love most about making jewelry is the process of combining various stones for a piece. I may buy stones, fossils, beads, crystals years apart and they may sit in a box for a long time before they get paired. But I like that.
My dear husband, John, would sometimes innocently ask me what I was going to do with a particular stone and I almost never had an answer. It has to marinate.
The first pendant is an example of that with a beautiful Quebec Hessonite Garnet paired with a Conchina. I just bought the garnet and have had the Conchina for a few years. Yet they work really well together. Who knew?
The stone in the other pendant is Ruby in Ziosite and I love the shape.
Watch this space. Much more to come.

What did you do this weekend?

A woman with very good taste, (!) purchased two of my pendants in the September Uxbridge Studio Tour.
As well, she decided to take my day long jewelry course with me today, where she made a stunning, STATEMENT ring to go with her beautiful pendants.

Hats off to you, H.B. you are a natural and we had sooooo much fun.

Check out what she made. Such a great way to spend a beautiful, sunny Autumn day.
Thank you!

If YOU want to spend a day with me making either an adjustable ring or a pendant. Contact me and we
will set up a class at your convenience.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Instead of making a turkey I made a pendant.

I just love this stone. It’s called Sonoran Dendritic Rhyolite.
The overall design has a nice visual flow and the tabs work!
Bonus.

WHAT happens when you don't support all things local?
It just disappears.

I want to give a HUGE shout out to SIDEROADS Magazine for their
ongoing and utterly fantastic promotion of all things local.

Here is the link: https://www.sideroadsofscugog.ca/magazine

The latest edition JUST dropped September 1.
I urge you to pick up a copy wherever you see it.
It’s full of great information, local promotion and amazing writing from LOCAL sources.
It’s vitally important that we as a community support all things local.

Oh yea, AND check out the ad on page 52 for my jewelry!

Would you go out of your way for yummy food or beautiful stones?

I would. And have done so on both accounts!

I sought out the source for some of these stones on a recent vacation
to Vancouver Island.
Here are the results of an insane week of work and focus. Nine pendants produced in seven days.

The stones I used reflect a wide variety of sources. Clockwise from top right, they are Turquoise, Petrified Wood, a Conchina, 2 Agates, Turquoise, another Agate, more Petrified Wood, and finally Azurite Malachite.

Ok now to take a small rest and think about the Uxbridge Studio Tour.

Did you know that this year marks the 40th Anniversary? I am truly honoured to be included.
Mark your calendars for Sept 20 & 21. Make sure you visit Uxbridgestudiotour.com, to get the lowdown on who, where & what. Also download the Toureka! App in order to better navigate between studios.

Finally, make SURE you drop by and see yours truly at Site # 6 with host & artist extraordinaire, Fly Freeman and ceramic artist, Ann Cummings!

How is your inner Goddess doing these days?

I seem to be in a Goddess state of mind. Here are some recent (and not so recent) pendants that reflect this style.

I truly love the challenge of combining interesting visual and textural elements to make these pieces.

They are all available. Feel free to contact me re prices.
