I've been making jewelry for a few years now. The beginnings were slow, but after lots of practice and ruined nails my skills improved.

The very first pendant I made. I used an old earring for the frame. I kinda like it actually, it has a bit of a steampunk vibe.

With lots of practice there was some progress...

The first version that I was happy with.

After I mastered the basic two trees pendant, I tried (and succeeded) to make an intertwined version. Yay!

Then I started using gemstones. This is my first gemstone tree pendant.

Progress...

Soon I was able to wrap intertwined trees on gemstones.

Then I started to make things complicated...

... and more complicated.
