Nunn Design's Summer 2016 Collection Giveaway

Many of my favorite components are from Nunn Design.  I especially like the antiqued finishes.  The overall handmade look to designs is simply lovely.  Their collection is constantly being updated. Their Summer 2016 collection is now out and one lucky winner will win a sample pack of this new offering.


As you can see from above, Nunn Design have added smaller bezel rings, more charms and tags which are perfect for stamping.  But my favorites are their channel and open bezel components.  I received these antique gold and antique silver (fine silver plating) from the Summer Collection for review.  

Clear resin is a good choice to take advantage of the see through effect.  So I experimented with sea glass! When you've got very small pieces of sea glass that can't be drilled, then resin is an easy solution.

The Nunn Design open frames were perfect for these tiny pressed flower on resin clay!





Working with resin and real pressed flowers isn't always plain sailing. So I shall share my further adventures (and misadventures) with the above project tutorials over the next little while.

I also had fun making these channel bangles in gold and copper. These are my Secret Message Morse Code bangles!  A perfect solution if you don't want to scream out personal messages for the world to see. The tutorial for this easy idea will be out later this week.


Shown below are some of Nunn Design's stunning vintage look jewelry ideas.  The open frame deep pendants can also be embellished with resin clay, crystals and chains in the channels.  I love how the pendants and earrings are hung such that the typically top loop is used as a bottom dangle!

Photography
I used natural light, my iPhone 6S with the camera+ app and the Modahaus TS320 tabletop studio and the Steady Stand (medium) for the final jewelry design photographs  To get the graduated grey backgrounds , I put the black sheet behind the white. The necklace is suspended from a Modahaus Steady Stand.   Check out my How to Photograph Jewelry Webinar .
