“This is a scalene triangle, meaning no equal sides. Decided to add a stamped leaf for accent.”

Jo Pound of Jewelry byJolane

“These earrings are made up of triangle beads with seed beads and Swarovski teardrops.”

Kay Lancashire of Kay’sArtycles

“I found these cute pearls and thought they might just fit into the little depressions I made while fashioning my triangles, they're a play session which turned into a pair of earrings. Beaten brass, freshwater pearl and sterling chain and earrings.”

“It actually also incorporates circles.”

Nathalie Lesage of Canadian Rockies Art

The triangular theme was more complicated than I had originally expected, but it was so much fun :) I really love how these earrings turned out. Featuring large natural Arizona Turquoise drops, these Sterling Silver Earrings are one of a kind... And, as a bonus, if you turn them sideways, you will see a rustic fish design :)  You can find these earrings here.

Laura Bracken of Bracken Designs Studio Art Jewelry

“These minimalist earrings are made from steel metal clay, accented with copper.”

These earrings are made Stainless metal mesh linked and unlinked to form a triangle. Love the way they fall when you are wearing them. Second photo shows flat view.

Tammy Adams of Paisley Lizard

Triangles make me think of alchemy. Which inspired the gunmetal and glass theme for this necklace.

This is a cuff style bracelet made up of circles, half circles and partial circles.

Kay Lancashire of Kay’s Artycles

“I wanted to create a piece which was using cold connections with the cogs creating a steampunk influenced piece. The two big circles are stitched together with a woven strip of wires.”

“I made these as two separate pairs, but then decided they would look fabulous paired together. Colored with layers of alcohol inks.”

Carol Evans of C. Evans Designs

“I was trying to create the look of natural tumbled sea glass... like a round slice of the neck of a glass bottle. I etched a handmade lampwork glass ring and suspended a small white banded bead using formed sterling silver wire.”

Debbie Bruce of Bead-ifulWorld

Jamie Thompson of Sumer Thyme 2

Tammie Everly of TTE Designs

“Polymer clay extruded pendant and earrings set.”

Sue Ranbarger of Suzie’s Little Shop

Nohline L'Ecuyer of Nohline L'Ecuyer

“Cutting circles by hand was a fruitless way to work out my design. While purchasing a round punch at Michaels, I walked passed all these wonderful papers. As so we have -  "Circles of Spring" - Bazzill Paper and tiny rivets.”

Pamela Traub  of Klassy Joolz

“Pendant made with large Artisan Lampwork Beaded discs and sterling silver.”

Nathalie Lesage  of CanadianRockies Art

“Circles everywhere :) Circle Aquamarine (fancy cut wheel shape), wire wrapped on a double circle, with circle shaped earring hooks, held by circular rings at the top... and circular ring at the bottom holding the cluster of... you guessed it... circle/wheel shaped Aquamarines :)  Ok, so I could not find a large circular drop for the bottom of the earrings, it's pear shaped ;)  Cheers, Nathalie"

Ronni Eloff of Vamp Kitty Designs

I saw these disks and my first thought was Green Harlequin.  6mm Black Onyx, 6mm and 4mm Dark Green dolomite marble rounds with blackstone coins, sterling silver beads with these amazing Blackstone/Ching Hai Jade Harlequin pattern discs. The Lariat measures 36 from tail to loop top.
