EARTHY Gemstone Toggle Bracelet SALE

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 14:45:49 -0500

$24.00
Rich earthtones, with just a touch of creamy white, make this gemstone bracelet so versatile, especially for Fall!

★ FALL SALE ~ REDUCED FROM $28! ★

Smooth Agate rondelles, with creamy white, grey, charcoal, lemon, celadon, sage & olive green are accented with 4mm Sterling Silver rounds, Bali Sterling beadcaps, and a center Gemstone tumble framed with moveable Bali Silver twisted 'love' rings.

Strung on 49-strand coated stainless steel professional jewelry wire (finished with sterling crimp covers & wire guards), it measures 7½ inches (19cm) long, closing with a Hammered Teardrop Silver Rhodium Toggle...the curved bar keeps it securely on your wrist.

Because of the 9mm size of the donuts, this bracelet will fit a 6½"(16.5cm) to 6¾"(17cm) wrist best, still allowing comfortable movement. Mine is 6½" and it's perfect (another coincidence? perhaps...)

Chunky, yet not too much so, as you can see in the last photo... and it feels so good on!

Handmade Sterling Silver Interchangeable Earwires (2 pair)

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:43:11 -0500

$4.85
I've hand formed these using 20 gauge sterling silver wire, hammered them for strength and style to lightly flatten, giving them a soft matte finish.

These are so versatile because they look like the classic french hook earwire, but I've made them so that the loop at the front is shaped and hammered to allow the beaded dangle to be changed out very easily, yet still be securely held on the earwire.

The front measures 3/4 inch long, the tail 1 inch, and you'll receive 2 pair (4 pieces).

These earwires are the same as those I make and use in my own designs (see last photo). I love working with wire and metals making my own findings, so it's fun to take a break now and then from designing jewelry and offer some of my handi-work to other designers.

Handmade Shiny Brass Clasp Combo, 1 Duck, 1 Hook (4 pieces)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:16:32 -0500

$6.50
I love bright, shiny brass... it's durable and can be combined with gold findings and accents, with very little noticeable difference... and oh yeah, it's more affordable!

I've used heavy 16 gauge solid, natural brass wire to hand form these two clasp sets, which are hammered for strength and style.

One is a spiral *duck and connector, each of which measures 25mm... the other is a large hook and figure 8 connector, also measuring 25mm each. These are the actual clasps you will receive, made and ready to ship.

*Yes, ducks... others make swan clasps, but mine look like ducks to me, so I call 'em as I see 'em ;) lol

I use the duck clasp in many of my own designs, and it's a very secure closure, especially for bracelets. It's also versatile, since it's super secure hooked into the center of the spiral portion of the connector, or you can switch it around and have it hook into the loop... either way, it adds unique style to any handcrafted design! The large hook and figure 8 set is a simple, yet elegant way to finish off any necklace, especially one with a bold design.

★ Custom orders are welcome... the turn-around time on a custom order is dependant on quantity ordered, convo me for details.
Of course, sincee each piece is handcrafted there may be slight variations, but the essence of the style and size remains true to the photos shown here.

Hand Forged Sterling Silver Spiral and Crystal Earrings

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 19:35:10 -0500

$32.00
Heavy 14 gauge sterling silver wire has been hand formed into a contemporary spiral design... perhaps it's a snake, a dragon, or the goddess spirit... to be decided by the eye of the beholder ;)

I've hammered the spiral to a lovely matte finish and wire wrapped a single 5mm Swarovski *Jet 2xAB (all sides coated with the rainbow finish) crystal bi-cone to dangle below for a swingy touch of sparkle.

Hand forged 20 gauge sterling silver wire forms my custom design earwires, which have also been hammered for strength and style to a lovely matte finish. Their total length is about 2 inches, or about 5cm.

Please note that each pair is custom made upon ordering, and as with any handmade piece, there may be slight differences, however, the overall look and style is well represented in these photos.

Surprisingly enough, these are not heavy earrings... and they look FABulous on! (I made a similar pair for roommate as a Christmas gift... she's received many compliments on the original design, and hasn't taken them off yet, lol)

*If you'd prefer another color crystal or small gemstone bead as the dangle, just let me know in "Notes to Seller" when you check out, or convo me... I'll be more than happy to customize them for you.

They'll arrive nicely packaged, suitable for gift giving or storing, and each of my sterling silver designs comes with a small silver polishing cloth to keep it fresh & shiny!

Sapphire Crystals, Silver Filigree, Bow Pendant, Sterling Silver Necklace

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:18:12 -0500

$36.00
Delicately wrapped sections of sterling, sapphire Swarovskis and Antique Silver filigree with a Bow make this such a femme necklace!

Let's start with the handmade pendant... a lovely rich shade of sapphire blue in a faceted glass briolette is wrapped onto sterling silver wire to the delicately detailed 3/4 inch (2cm) antique silver filigree connector... above that are Swarovski 4mm diamond bi-cones in medium sapphire AB (Aurora Borealis, rainbow finish) and rich dark sapphire blue, with a beautiful little antique silver bow.

To the pendant, I've handcoiled the individual sections of 4mm crystals in sterling silver rounds and both crystal colors, on sterling silver wire... each securely connected to the other, and linked into the sterling silver chain. A tiny sterling lobster clasp can be connected into any link of the chain for a custom fit. I've added one final crystal that has been wrapped into the last link for a bit of dangle at the back of the neck.

The necklace portion measures 16 inches (40cm) and the pendant drops 2.5 inches or just over 6cm. Very dainty, very sparkley and the only one of its kind!

★ This is in fact a very delicate necklace, ideal for the lady who prefers a more petite neck adornment, and will arrive gift packaged, ready to give ;)

$14.00
A lovely amethyst purple 15mm lampwork glass donut is encased with swirls and wire wrapped with non-tarnish silver wire. The ring is about a size 6-3/4 (actually it's almost a size 7, and should fit snugly, so the lampwork won't fall to the side).

I wasn't able to capture it very well with my camera, but there are sparklies inside the bead, which show when held up to the light, or in bright sunlight... you can see it a bit in the first photo. This is a unique lampwork, and the only one of its kind, made by one of our talented Etsy Glass Artisans.

$28.00
Simple and elegant says it all for this lovely pendant!

This beautiful faceted 20mm Quartz briolette, in the most breathtaking shade of rich London Blue, really needs very little enhancement to showcase it... so I've topped it simply with a lovely detailed fluted Bali Antique Sterling Silver cone, a small 4mm round Swarovski Sapphire AB crystal, and wrapped it with 20 gauge sterling silver to create a bail.

The delicate sterling silver cable link necklace measures 18 inches (45cm) long, closing with a sterling lobster clasp & ring. The pendant drops about 1.25 inches from the chain.

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:18:37 -0500

$35.00
Gorgeous petite Mystic Garnet gemstone rondelles... their color is delicious, with faceting that glints with every move!

I've carefully matched a dozen 3.5mm of these burgundy beauties, wrapped them onto sterling silver wire into delicate sterling silver chain. The ends are also wrapped with sterling wire for secure connection to the lobster clasp and ring.

This one was made for a friend, and measures about 16 inches (30cm), but I can easily make it in any length you choose. It is a very dainty necklace, and should be worn as a choker, to fall in the hollow of your neck, as this one is. Just put your desired length in "Notes to Seller" when checking out, and allow 2 days for its creation before shipping.

It will arrive in a lovely burgundy organza gift pouch, suitable for giving... and perfect for the January lady! All my sterling silver designs are accompanied by a small silver polishing cloth to keep it clean and shiny. If you prefer the ox look, you can leave it unpolished and out in the air to achieve that effect.

Glitz and Glamour... Vintage Austrian Crystal Earrings, Jolie Gabor Collection

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:35:51 -0500

$50.00
Hundreds of sparkling Austrian crystal rounds, with a few baguettes in the center, are laid out in a paisley design, set in silverplate, measuring exactly 3 inches long.

The posts are at the very top, designed with the weight also near the top so that they'll hang perfectly, and surprisingly enough, they are not heavy at all. Also, they begin to narrow at about the mid-way point and become more fluid... more movement, more sparkle!

These earrings are from my personal collection, dating back to the early 1980's, and these stunners have been stored away in their original box, never worn and are in pristine, mint condition!

Designed by Jolie Gabor (mother of ZsaZsa & Eva Gabor), who had a little jewelry shop in New York City when she arrived here from Hungary. The original price paid for these was considerably more, and is still on the back of the box, as you will see when you receive them. I haven't researched it, but I would suspect these are very collectible.

Whether for a New Year's Eve party, or any special occasion, these earrings are the ultimate in glamour and glitz, with no other jewelry required... they are a statement all on their own!

☆*•.,¸¸,:•:*☆*:•:,¸¸,:•:*☆*•.,¸¸,:•:*☆*:•:,¸¸,:•:*☆*•.,¸¸,:•:*☆*:•:,¸¸,:•:*☆

I remember when I bought these thinking that I had own them... had to have them waiting in my jewelry armoire for just the right occasion! I had already decided that when that occasion arose, these would be the only jewelry I'd wear, because no other was necessary. My romantic self even imagined how they would sparkle in a candlelit restaurant, as tho they were diamonds, and how luxurious I'd feel wearing them! Unfortunately, there never seemed to be just the right time to wear them, and looking back now on all the wonderful places my husband took me to, I should have just worn them, and enjoyed the feeling of glamour!

Vintage Rose Quartz Earrings, Encircled in Crystals, Gold

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:25:21 -0500

$36.00
These stunning earrings are from my personal collection, dating back to late 1970's or early 1980's... in pristine condition, gently loved and stored safely in my armoire. I think it's time for them to find a new home and a lady who will appreciate their beauty, love and enjoy wearing them!

The central genuine Rose Quartz cabochon measures 1 inch/25mm across, and each earring is surrounded by a single row of twenty-two (22) 3-3.5mm sparkling clear Austrian crystals, set within the bezel... the combination of organic bling is an awesome effect!

Just a note... the photos show them as darker and more peachy, but in reality they are a softer, pale pink.

Each earring measures 1.25 inches (3cm) in diameter, bezel set in gold electroplate, with hypo-allergenic stud posts, with clear stabilizer backs. Just as an FYI, because of the size of the Rose Quartz stones, these are not a lighweight pair of earrings, but beauty comes with a price, after all ;)

Whether as a treat for yourself, or as a gift to a special lady, these will not disappoint! They will be carefully packaged for safe arrival, included in a lovely organza gift pouch, suitable for giving.

Vintage Rhinestone Cluster Earrings, Prong Set, Pierced

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:44:26 -0500

$15.00
From my personal collection (sad to say most of my 'flashy' jewelry is Vintage now... as am I). These lovely earrings have been stored away in my jewelry armoire for many years, and truthfully, I can't remember how long I've had them, or if I've ever worn them (confessions of a true jewelry addict, lol), but I know it's been at least 20-30 years (egads, I'm old!).

They're substantial earrings, featuring a central faceted round that measures about 12mm with a fabulous table to add to their sparkle, and a double row of smaller prong set faceted rounds, an inner row of 2mm stones, outer row of 3mm stones... all clear, none missing, in perfect condition!

They measure almost 1 inch across or about 2cm, with stud or posts for pierced ears... they'll come with stabilizer backs to keep them properly in place. I believe they're rhodium silverplate, but they've not been exposed to any type of chemicals, cleaner or polishing liquid, so they are exactly as you see them.

Perfect for special occasions, holiday parties, or just cuz you like your bling! They'll arrive well packed, wrapped in tissue and a pretty organza gift pouch, just in case you can part with them as a gift ;)

Vintage Sparklers... Crystal Rhinestone Stiletto Earrings

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:11:32 -0500

$22.00
Gorgeous Vintage earrings from my own personal collection, gently loved and in perfect, like new condition. These are at least 20 years old (if not older, who remembers? lol)... and I may have worn them once or twice (again, who remembers? not me!). They have been lovingly stored in my jewelry armoire, nestled in a cotton lined box for lo these many years... and they need to get out and party!

The rhinestones are clear, faceted and super sparkly... mostly rounds, a few bagettes, each prong set in rhodium plated silver, and very well made. I believe the french hook earwires are hypo-allergenic silverplate.

They're nice and long... they dangle 2 inches below the earwire, for a total length of just under 3 inches or 7cm, and they're very lightweight and swingy!

Ideal earrings for all those Holiday parties you'll be attending, especially for New Year's Eve, or any special occasion... and the only accessory you'll need for a sparkling evening!

They'll arrive carefully wrapped in tissue, packed in a bubble mailer for safe arrival... and if they're meant as a gift, a lovely organza bag will be included, suitable for giving.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:30:49 -0500

$8.50
On their own or with the coordinating necklace, these are a lovely, lightweight pair of ear adornments for Fall!

I've wire wrapped these pretty amber colored faceted acrylic teardrop briolettes with delicate, non-tarnish silver wire onto a fine silverplated rope ring, which I've suspended from my hand-formed Sterling Silver hooks.

These 20mm teardrops are slightly transparent and when the light bounces off them, they look like citrine cz's! I was surprised with their quality and beautiful cut.

They drop 30mm from the earwire, or about 1.25 inches for a total length of 45cm or about 1.75 inches from the top of the earwire (just over 4cm).

As you can see, the necklace in the last photo is a lovely match, also listed in my shop ~

Amber Teardrop Pendant, Large Oval Link Necklace

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:30:49 -0500

$17.50
Here's a new chic costume piece that's in-style, and just plain fun to wear! The longer length makes it perfect for wearing over sweaters this Fall and Winter... bold, yet lightweight.

Fine silverplated, tarnish resistant oval links feature a single, large transparent acrylic amber teardrop pendant, which I've wire wrapped into the central link. I was truly surprised to find this was an acrylic piece... a friend thought it was a nice chunk of citrine or topaz until she felt how lightweight it is.

The necklace measures 24 inches (60cm) with my handmade 16 gauge Sterling Silver swan hook clasp, slightly hammered for strength, so it's a secure closure that's very easy to hook and unhook.

Each open oval link measures 20mm, or about 3/4 inch ... and with the hand wired bale the pendant is just over 1.5 inches or about 4cm.

A stunning accessory for your lovely Autumn colors... or way to make a statement with a pair of jeans and a T!

I've shown this necklace and the coordinating earrings also listed in my shop...

Charming Angel Bookmark... Hand Forged Brass Spiral

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:18:20 -0500

$7.50
I love working with wire, manipulating it, shaping it... and the hammering... oh, the hammering... so theraputic ;)
Anyhow, since I love to read, it has inspired me to create some charming wire bookmarks, with wire wrapped charms or gemstone dangles to hold my page... and yours.

I've created a 2 inch spiral using 16 gauge solid brass wire, hammered it for strength and wire wrapped a dainty angel to dangle and keep the place where you (most likely) fell asleep ;)

The angel measures just 1 inch, and is wire wrapped with a 22kt gold Aurum crystal bi-cone, topped with a gold plated pewter bow, a goldust round and a golden daisy spacer for her halo.

With a book or on its own, or as a stocking stuffer... it makes a very sweet and thoughtful gift. It will arrive in a lovely organza gift pouch, suitable for giving to that bookworm friend!

Olivine-Purple Lampwork and Crystal Gold Toggle Bracelet

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:18:13 -0500

$32.00
Love, love, love this color combo! It reminds me of flourite with the amethyst purple and olive green... and the golden accents on these lampwork lentils just make it pop, so I carried it thru with the accent beads, spacers and the lovely swirly toggle clasp.

Strung on super strong, ultra-flexible multi-strand coated stainless steel jewelry wire, it measures 7.75 inches (about 20cm) long, and fits like a 7 inch because of the thickness of the beads.

The lentils are 16mm and the diamond bi-cones are Preciosa Gold Aurums and Swarovski Olivine 8mm crystals, framed with 7mm gold daisies.

A stunning wrist adornment...a lovely gift idea!

Bali Daisy Ring, Peridot and Chrysolite, Sterling Silver

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:43:13 -0500

$22.50
For this little cutie, I've used the shiny Bali sterling silver daisies for the band, along with smooth 3mm sterling silver rounds and tiny Bali quads (4-dot spacers) to frame the Swarovski 4mm peridot cube crystals that flank the 6mm chrysolite Swarovski bi-cone in the center. The underside of the ring is finished with a single 4mm sterling round.

Strung on durable, clear Stretch Magic, this is a fun ring that's very comfy to wear. It rolls on and off easily, so you can switch it to whatever finger you choose, giving you a flexible fit and a versatile accessory!

As you can see by the ring mandrel it will fit as small as a size 4 finger (perfect for a pinky)... yet easily fit at least a size 6½ (which is what my left ring finger is, as shown in the photos).

I have a variety of colors and sizes in Swarovski crystals, if you'd like another color or size. I also have the antiqued/oxidized Bali daisies too, if you prefer those to the shiny. I'm happy to take custom orders, just convo me!

Flowers dangle from this feminine ankle adornment that will go with everything in your wardrobe all Summer long... and it's adjustable from 8" (20cm) to just under 10" (25cm), making it versatile for those days when our ankles 'change sizes' ;)

Closing securely with an antiqued copper lobster clasp, which connects into any link you choose, I've added a 6mm antique copper round in the last link for a bit of dangle ~ the length of dangle will depend on where you connect into the chain, of course.

$44.00
The colors in this bracelet are dictated by those in these beautifully hand crafted Lampwork beads, made by one of our own talented Etsy Glass Artisans, cleaned and kiln annealed for long, durable wear and your enjoyment.

A lovely dark transparent Turquoise Blue is blurred on top with "evil purple" which is the prettiest shades of violet... just a stunning combination!

Strung on 49-strand coated jewelry wire, it measures 8½" (21.5cm) long, but due to the size of the lampworks, the inside circumference is much less... fitting more like a 7½" (tested on my 6½" wrist).

Closing securely with a FABulous textured oval handcrafted Hill Tribes Fine Silver Toggle clasp, finished with silver wire guardians and sterling crimp covers, this bracelet was built for long wear and meant to be enjoyed!

Opalite and Blue Opal Crystal Wire Wrapped Silver Ring

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:41:32 -0500

$20.00
Soft blue, the color of air, clouds and sky is what this ring brings to mind for me...

A large faceted Opalite glass tumble is framed with two Swarovski Air Blue Opal faceted 4mm crystal rounds, a lovely compliment to the center stone, bringing out the soft blues.

This ring is just a skosh under size 7, and is meant to be a snug fit, so the weight of the stone won't fall to one side on your finger. I've wire wrapped it on Sterling Silver *filled German wire... which will wear much like sterling... meaning it will oxidize if exposed, and can be cleaned and polished in the same manner.

*This German wire is actually a SS/40 fill (much like gold fill 1/20-12/14kt) and is bonded to a pure copper core which will outlast by eons a standard micron-thin silver plated wire.

This is a one of a kind piece, because even tho I do have other similar stones, each one is unique in size and shape, so there is only one like this.

If you have any questions, feel free to convo me :)

I love this shade of not-so-purple... Aubergine a soft grape-ish color, and very subtle. This pendant can be worn on this or almost any average size chain. The ball chain can be easily shortened before shipping, just put desired length in "Notes to Seller" when checking out.

$24.00
A beautifully crafted Dichroic glass pendant, created by Combustion Glassworks here on Etsy, fitted with a sterling silverplated bail, it measures about 1 inch square and slides onto a 24 inch silverplated ball chain necklace.

This pendant is a beautiful pure white, shimmering with what almost looks like fairy dust along with an array of pastel colors from within, depending on the angle it's seen from, as is characteristic with dichroic glass.

Such a versatile piece... pretty with pastels, because it will reflect those colors... lovely with white and certainly stunning with black or darker colors.

It can be worn on this or another favorite chain. The ball chain can be easily shortened to whatever length you'd like, just put desired length in "Notes to Seller" when checking out, and I'll make the adjustments before shipping.

Dichroic Dazzle... Purple Iris Beaded Glass Necklace

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:18:55 -0500

$25.00
As a huge fan of the iris colors, I was thrilled to find this sweet little dichroic in my bead stash, and of course I also had the glass rounds, ovals, bugles and seed beads to match, so the result is this simple, yet dazzling piece!

The focal is a petite one, measuring just about 3/4 inch square, with a lovely raised texture... in all the blues, purples, and teals that are matched in the beaded portion of the necklace.

Strung on multi-strand coated professional jewelry wire, it measures 18 inches (45cm), closing with one of my favorite clasps... a golden brass slip lock that's very secure, blends well with the design and lays so nicely on the neck because it's flat.

If these are favorites in your color palette, then this necklace is for you!
