35. Delicate Lace Collection New Jewelry Designs By Carey Machin

36. My inspiration of my new collection came from my love for lace fabric and my love for jewelry. I have only seen jewelry that is made with real lace, or jewelry that is made out of metal to mock real lace. My idea was to make metal lace out of gold or silver and apply it to a gold or silver ring, earring, necklace, or bracelet.

42. Infinity is Forever A Jewelry Collection By Carey Machin

43. My Infinity is Forever Collection was inspired by the infinity symbol. It made me want to create a jewelry line that represents eternity through the symbol, but also through the jewelry. In other words, my jewelry designs will never go out of style, meaning the infinity sign represents my jewelry lasting forever. It can also be sentimental and be purchased for representing something that is good that will live on for eternity.

44. Inspiration

45. All of my designs are made with Sterling Silver, white gold, yellow gold, and genuine white diamonds. They can be made with any of the three different metals, but the metals can also be combined to make two tone jewelry.
