Sardonyx in Coils

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:49:29 -0400

$35.00
The simple, elegant pendant works beautifully on your Omega necklace. While hand wrapping this stone, I crafted the sterling bail to fit on the 6mm size or smaller.

Sterling wire securely holds the striped sardonyx oval in place. From the tip of the bail to the bottom of the wrapping this pendant is 1 7/8 inches long and across the middle the pendant is exactly 1 inch.

Sardonyx is a form of chalcedony and is mentioned often in the bible. It is one of the 'Stones of Fire' given to Moses on the mountain top.

Sardonyx is mined in many locations with a primary location being India for thousands of years. It is also found in USA, Russia, Pakistan, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Czechoslovakia and Africa.

I use sterling wire that is from pre-produced sources. It is then refined to its purest form before being forged into new clean metal. The gift boxes I use are constructed from partially recycled products.

Your item of jewelry will arrive in a gift box with cotton lining to help prevent tarnish.

Shipping in US and US the territories is shipped free by first class by USPS. If you live outside of those areas, please convo me and I will be glad to work out the shipping cost to you.

The Mystery Stone

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:49:29 -0400

$49.00
This lovely cabachon was cut by Bob Stumpp of Mixed Media Jewelry on Etsy and wire wrapped by me. I use pure sterling silver wire in 2 different sizes to wrap this lovely mystery jasper. The mystery involved in this stone is that Bob can't remember what kind of jasper it is.

Anyway, back to the pendant. From the top of the bail - which I made to fit up to a 10mm Omega chain - to the bottom of the wrap it is 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" wide.

The jasper has a great mixture of browns and black tones with a touch of blue-gray to it. The back of the cabachon is neat and tidy -- a throwback to learning to sew. "Always make sure the back looks as good as the front".

My sterling wire comes from a company that used pre-produced sterling so that they are minimizing the effect on the planet. My gift boxes come are manufactured using partially recycled paper.

This bracelet fits an average wrist. If you would like it in a larger size please convo me.

I hand coil and cut my own sterling rings for this bracelet. I use a nice sharp blade in my Dremel and cut away. Then I tumble them in with stainless shot for 3-4 hours to polish and work harden them. I use my pliers to weave the item and then it goes back in the tumbler for the final polish.

Silver Threads Among the Gold

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:06:38 -0400

$125.00
This delightful size 7 bracelet features lampwork beads that I purchased from an artisan in the US. I don't know her name as the beads were a fundraising auction for a friend in their group who had suffered a house fire.

The beads are about 1/2" inch in diamter and are a lovely creamy golden with tiny silver accents. Once I purchased the beads I had 'nothing to go with them'. Much like women dressing for an event in their lives, I had the same problem with my stash of beads. Nothing that I owned in my jewelry supplies seemed to call out to it. The beads sat on the corner of my desk waiting for me.

This last winter I've really enjoyed learning some chainmaille. I even got brave enough to purchase some goldfilled twisted rings to make a bracelet for my mom as she loves gold. After making a bracelet for her with the sterling and goldfilled combination I realized that these beads were calling to be used in that combination. And thus this bracelet was born.

I wove this bracelet using a gold filled toggle to really complement the gold in the bracelet and the gold sheen in the beads.

Your bracelet will arrive in a gift box with a cotton lining to help prevent tarnish.
