Sideways Cross Necklace - Small Handcrafted 14K Gold Filled Cross and Chain, Dual Finish - Simple And Modern

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:33:29 -0500

$41.00
** If this item shows 'Sold Out', check my shop for more listings. If not there, I can make more, and will relist soon. **

This listing is for the SMALL cross, so no need to convo me to double check.

I have to admit that this piece was inspired by Tara Frey,
(author/editor/blogger: http://bellapink.typepad.com/). She asked me if I could make a gold sideways cross similar to the one that Taylor Jacobson wears, (Rachel Zoe Project),
http://www.chicintuition.com/?p=2524, because she couldn't find one anywhere. So, this is my handcrafted, copyrighted version...

Making this horizontal cross was a time consuming, multi-step process, but I'm so happy with the results. Once I forged it and drilled the holes, I applied a brushed finish to one side, with professional jewelers tools, (this cross is available in my shop with both sides brushed). This dainty cross measures 10 x 15mm, and is meant to rest around the hollow of your throat, ( there is a slightly larger version available in my shop - see last photo). Tara wears this small one in her photo here:

http://bellapink.typepad.com/bella_pink_postcards_from/2009/06/sideways.html

The chain, including the cross, is 15 3/4" from end to end. It has a 14K Gold Filled lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. If you want the length adjusted please leave a message when you check out.

This necklace is so awesome and unique! Also available in my shop in Oxidized Sterling Silver, the larger gold filled cross, and a shiny Sterling Silver cross.

Mini Square Clear View Glass Locket - for Relics, Mementos, Keepsakes, Photos, Etc. - Sterling Silver

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:26:59 -0500

$31.00
This is a smaller version of the 1" locket available in my shop for $37. It's a great piece and an excellent gift for just about anyone! This is a timeless piece that will be appreciated for years. This double sided clear glass locket unscrews below the swivel bail so that you can add and change out whatever you choose to put in it at your whim! It is clear glass and does not distort. Carry your loved one's photo, add a dried flower, part of a love letter, make a collage or simply cut circles out of decorative paper. Add your photo with a sweet message on the back and give it to your boyfriend to keep in his pocket. Or give it to grandma with your two children's photos.(If you have more than two kids give her the extra photos to switch out). I've had several brides order it to attach to their bouquet with their deceased father's photo. What an incredible thought!

The diameter of the glass is a little less than 3/4", or 17mm. The inner dimension is 14mm. The overall length including the bail is 1 1/4", or 33mm. It is approximately 1/2" thick

Hi Pearl - Simple, Sexy and Feminine Necklace - Lustrous 10mm Pearl with 14K Gold Filled or Sterling Silver Chain

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 18:15:48 -0500

$24.00
This necklace is from my 'Feminine' Collection. It' sexy because the pearl draws attention the the hollow of your throat, a subtly sexy part of a woman's anatomy. This is an everyday, go with anything necklace. The pearl doesn't shift around like some necklaces do - it stays right where it's supposed to.

The Large Freshwater 10mm Pearl is a very nice quality. I bought the most expensive strand of pearls that my supplier had. I was able to justify the price because I knew that I could make it go a long way. The pearls vary very slightly in shape - round to slightly oval. I attached it to a 14K Gold Filled cable chain that is 15 3/4" long. It has a lobster clasp and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag.This necklace will ship in 14K Gold Filled unless you specify otherwise. I will also adjust the length if you wish.

I have sold many of these for bridesmaids!

I named this necklace after cute little Pearl on the Will Ferrel video clip. If you haven't seen it you must! Just google Will Ferrel - Landlord Video. It's hilarious.

This is one of my latest design. There are many initial necklaces out there, so I knew that I had to come up with something completely different. And I LUV it!

I will hand stamp an initial of your choice on this 12.5mm, (1/2") Sterling Silver disc. I oxidize it so that the intial blackens, then polish it back to it's original silver sheen. The star 'bail' is made of 24K gold Vermeil, which is a heavy gold plate over Sterling Silver. The dainty 14K Gold Filled cable chain is 17" long, has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached.

If you want the length adjusted either way please leave a message when you check out. Also please DON'T forget to tell me what initial you want.

Femme- Ultra Feminine, 14K Gold Filled or Sterling Silver Dainty Shiny Hammered Circle and Cable Chain Necklace

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 14:15:38 -0500

$24.00
This is a subtly sexy necklace. Why? Because the circle disc rests right in the hollow of the neck...a very sexy part of a woman's anatomy. I attached a very thin cable chain to this 12mm, (1/2"), vermeil disc so that all one really notices is the circle. It looks great alone or layered with other chains and charms. The 14K Gold Filled chain is 15 3/4" long, has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. If you want the length adjusted leave me a message when you check out.

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 14:15:12 -0500

$20.00
Cute, Simple, Dainty, says it all. The Vermeil circles are 12mm, or 1/2" and dangle 10mm from the bottom of the 14K Gold Filled ear wires. Nothing else to say! It's that simple!

Coral Branches - Italian Angelskin Coral Branch, 14K Gold Filled Earrings

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:13:43 -0500

$32.00
If you follow the trends, you know that Coral is really hot right now. My supplier had some strands that he imported from Italy so I snatched some up, as Coral is becoming harder to get due to all the expensive licenses one has to have now in order to harvest, import, and sell coral.

For these earrings, I created a cap with tiny, flat 14K Gold Filled beads and 14K Gold Filled wire. I dangled them, as well as 18 x 27mm textured Gold Filled ovals from the ear wires. They drop 28mm, (approximately 1 1/4"), from the 14K Gold Filled ear wires. Each branch varies slightly, making your earrings one-of-a-kind! These earrings have an upscale 'artisan' appeal. They are very unique!

Thanks for looking!

SPECIAL Pricing - Lustrous Coin Pearl, Sterling Silver Hammered Circle Necklace

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:01:59 -0500

$59.00
This is an incredibly great value for this necklace. I hand wired very lustrous 12mm white coin pearls to hammered Sterling Silver 14mm circles.
The necklace is fully adjustable to 19", has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached.

A classic piece for a classy lady. A necklace that can be passed down for generations. To clean, quickly dip in 'Silver Dip'. It cleans in one second, and doesn't harm the pearls. (I recommend Haggerty's or Goddard's)

My 'Classic Pearls' earrings, as well as my 'Saturn' earrings will go beautifully with this necklace.

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:55:01 -0500

$38.00
Big circle chains are all the rage right now, worn alone or layered with others! This chain, however, is smaller and daintier for those of you that want to be fashionable but don't like alot of flash.

If you want a longer chain it costs an additional $1 per inch. Let me know and I'll modify the listing.
This chain would look great layered with other chains, or doubled into two strands.

SALE - Etruscan Treasure - Hand Forged 14K Gold Filled, Oxidized Sterling Silver, Chrysoprase Earrings

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:21:40 -0500

$39.00
I love the handcrafted 'Artisan' look that these earrings have. They remind me of the jewelry pieces that I've seen in museums in Tuscany, which is where the Etruscan's lived.
First of all, I hand forged, hammered, and oxidized the 12mm Sterling Silver discs, then gave them a protective coating. I hammered the small 14K Gold Filled circles, and dropped them from 14K Gold Filled ear wires. I used oxidized Sterling Silver wire and gold bands to attach the beautiful 8 x 12mm faceted Chrysoprase to the discs. They drop approximately 25mm, (1"), from the bottom of the ear wires.
Was $59

Aren't these cute earrings? First of all I oxidized these brass filigree butterflies over a several day period until they turned the beautiful verdigris color that I wanted.

The overall length is approximately 3/4" from the bottom of the ear wire.

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:38:14 -0500

$32.00
These earrings are the newest addition to my Simple and Modern Collection. And what an interesting gemstone Tourmalinated Quartz is! It's a semi-clear stone with black tourmaline needles running through it in every which way. So intriguing!*
I made these earrings by hand forging - hammering, filing, forming, applying a brush finish, and oxidizing heavy gauge Sterling Silver wire. I attached beautiful, faceted, heart-shaped Tourmalinated Quartz gems that measure approximatley 9 x 9mm. The overall length of the earrings from top to bottom is 1". If you prefer a different size, leave me a message upon checkout. There is a longer version available in my shop for the same price, (see last photo).
These are everyday earrings. They are simple, contemporary, and go with absolutely everything!

*Each gemstone is unique.

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:38:14 -0500

$28.00
This necklace is similar to Je t'aime, but it's for you Silver lovers out there! I think that this style is so romantic and 'dreamy', in an old-fashioned way. But yet, this look is so in-style right now. These necklaces are very good sellers for me.

I used a 20mm hammered Sterling Silver circle, attached a beautiful 12 x 12 Labradorite on one side, and on the other side I added a flirty repousse dragonfly that I accented with faceted Apatites, and a faceted Iolite. These two gemsstones replicate the blue-green flash of the Labradorite. The Sterling Silver chain is 16 1/2" long, has a lobster clasp and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag. I can adjust the chain length at no additional charge, just leave me a message upon checkout.

Man in the Moon - 14K Gold Filled Hoop Earrings with Lustrous Freshwater Coin Pearls - Simple but Elegant

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:41:08 -0500

$30.00
These are hoops from my 'Something Different' Collection. I've challenged myself to come up with as many unique hoops as I possibly can. I thought these up when I lay awake in the early morning hours...I couln't wait to get up and try out my idea!

I clipped, formed, and filed the textured wire to accomadate the Pearls. Pearls are notorious for having very small drill holes, so I had to hand ream them to make them bigger. I like the texture of the 14K Gold Filled wire next to the super lustrous 11mm Freshwater Coin Pearls. They are approximately 1" in diameter. I bet you'll never see anyone else wearing earrings like these!

This wire is approximately 18 gauge. If you have itsy bitsy ear piercings these probably won't work for you.

They drop approximately 3/4" from the bottom of the ear wires.

$24.00
So Long Pearl! - a take off of my ever so popular 'Hi Pearl' necklace. What a cute and apropo name, huh?
I attached a 'long' lustrous, white Biwa Pearl that measures approximately 27 x 8mm, ( 1" x 1/3") to delicate 14K Gold Filled Cable chain.

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 11:42:10 -0500

$45.00
I made these earrings to match my ever so popular 'Sea Treasures' necklace. The 23mm, (almost 1"), Vermeil seahorses are so well made. While searching for seahorse charms, I ran across many. Yes, these were probably the most expensive ones I found, but so worth the few extra dollars. Many seahorses had their tails curled in front, I loved the 'S' shape of the tail curled to the back. This seahorse is very detailed and dainty also. I added aqua Chalcedony hearts to the tail, and dangled a lustrous Keishi 'Petal' Pearl from a dainty chain. The charms dangle from hand forged, hammered 14K Gold Filled circles. They drop approximately 40mm, (1 1/2"), from the bottom of the 14K GoldFilled ear wires. So cute and flattering!

Modern Elegance - Hand Forged Artisan Hammered 14K Gold Filled, Oxidized Sterling Silver, and Pearl Earrings

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:22:16 -0500

$34.00
These earrings are so unique. Minimalist, but attention-grabbing. I love that they look handcrafted, rather than mass produced. They are the type of earrings that you would pay 2x the price for at a handcrafted jewelry store.

I formed the linear, 14K Gold Filled ear wires, hand reamed the pearls to accomodate the wire and slipped them on the tips. I then hammered, and applied a brush finish to the wires. I hammered, slightly domed the 14k Gold Filled circles, and applied a brush finish to the raised areas. As an interesting contrast, I added wavy Sterling Silver discs that I oxidized to a dark black. (The two tone look is all the rage right now). The 14K Gold Filled circles measure approximately 14mm, (almost 1/2"), and the over all length of the earrings is approximately 1". If you would prefer a shorter version just leave me a message when you check out. These earrings dangle daintyly right around your jawline, and are so fashionably elegant.
These earrings are available in Sterling Silver, (a longer version), here in my shop. I can make them in two tone or single tone.

Ice - Trendy, Free Form Swarovski Crystal, Sterling Silver or 14K Gold Filled Drop Earrings

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:22:15 -0500

$26.00
If you follow the fashion trends, as I must do in my profession, you'll know that faceted clear crystal is 'Hot' now. As a matter of fact I saw some clear 'Rock' Crystal earrings at Saks Fifth Avenue. They were $5900. What the!??!
My earrings aren't 18K gold, and they aren't Rock Crystal, but who the heck would know?
These are faceted, sparkling Crystal nuggets from the wonderful house of Swarovski - no one does it better!They measure 17 x 24mm, (3/4" x 1"). I kept the design clean and simple dropping them from modern Sterling Silver round ear wires. I made myself a longer version of these and just love them. They go with everything - from jeans to formal wear. They catch the light beautifully, and they are NOT gaudy or flamboyant. In fact they are very classy.

These earrings will ship in Sterling Silver. If you want gold filled leave me a message when you check out.

Flower Power - Dainty Flower Outline Focal Piece With Cable Chain - Sterling Silver Necklace

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:38:19 -0500

$22.00
This is another one of my subtly sexy necklaces. Why is it sexy? Because the simple little flower outline rests right in the hollow of the neck...a very sexy part of a woman's anatomy. I attached a very thin cable chain to this 12mm, (1/2"), Sterling Silver flower so that all one really notices is the flower. It looks great alone or layered with other chains and charms. The Sterling Silver chain is 15 3/4" long...I can make it up to 18" if you like, just send me a message. It has a lobster clasp and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached.
This necklace, in my opinion, is subtly sexy but it would be very appropriate and sweet on a young girl as well.

Moonlit Waves - Sterling Silver Discs, Long Dangle Earrings

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:08:36 -0500

$32.00
I made these mod earrings by combining some of my best selling discs and charms together to form long earrings. The top two 12mm discs are 'wavy', and the bottom 12mm disc is slightly hammered. They have a shiny finish and catch the light as they move, so they are very eye-catching. These drop 37mm, (almost 2 3/4") from the bottom of the Sterling Silver ear wires. If you prefer, I can make them longer by adding another wavy disc to each earring. They would cost an additional $8.

This is an absolutely gorgeous little heart shape locket! . It is approximatly 20 x 20mm, (3/4"), is highly detailed, and has tiny red crystals. The locket has a very small space, and closes with a magnet.
I adorned the gunmetal chain with a silver swallow that I antiqued to a dark finish. On the other side I added (3) 5mm freshwater pearls for an asymmetrical look.
The pretty gunmetal chain has faceted beads spaced 1" apart, that catch the light very nicely. It is adjustable 17" to 21", has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached.
A truly unique piece!! There is a similar aqua and Pearl necklace available in my shop, as well as a gold one with a different design.

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:41:51 -0500

$22.00
These earrings are simple but very unique! I hand forged, hammered, ozidized and applied a brush finish to the round 16mm ear wires. I then dangled a shiny 20mm circle hoop and an oxidized, brush finished 15mm cirle. They dangle approximately 19mm from the bottom of the ear wires.

Ingenue - Subtly Elegant 14K Gold Filled or Sterling Silver and 4mm Pearls, Dainty Necklace

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:41:51 -0500

$32.00
This is a classic piece that is ultra dainty and feminine. I attached Freshwater Pearls to 14K Gold Filled chain, leaving 1 1/2" spaces between the Pearls. I used a very sturdy 14K Gold Filled wire, so you can sleep in this necklace without a worry. It looks great alone for all you minimalists out there, but it also looks fab when you add other dainty chains of varying lengths. This necklace is 16" long, has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached.
I will shorten it at no charge. If you want it longer e-mail me for a price quote.
I also have many other 4mm stones that can be substituted or combined.

Going Round in Circles - 24K Gold Vermeil and Antiqued Sterling Silver Hammered Hoops Drop Earrings

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 12:02:28 -0500

$24.00
These earrings are from my new 'From The Earth' Collection. In this collection I combine heavily oxidized Sterling Silver with 14K Gold Filled, Vermeil, or Sterling Silver for a very unique and exciting new look.
For these particular earrings, I blackened the Sterling Silver hammered circles and combined them with shiny Vermeil gold 20mm hammered circles. I handcrafted round, 16 x 20mm ear wires then dangled the circles from the wires.(Vermeil is 24K Gold over Sterling Silver). They drop approximately 3/4" from the bottom of the antiqued Sterling Silver ear wires.

Starfish - Faceted Chrysoprase Gem, Keishi Petal Pearl, Sterling Silver Ball Chain Necklace

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 12:02:28 -0500

$34.00
This simple, modern, and refreshing necklace is so feminine! I like the daintiness of the starfish, (it has a 'refined', James Avery look). I added a beautiful, faceted Chrysoprase that I acquired on my recent trip to Europe. I also added a lustrous Keishi 'Petal' pearl. These charms nest perfectly, right in the arms of the starfish. Because the charms have such a 'quality' look, I decided to upgrade the chain to a gorgeous, slinky snake chain that has small 1.5mm balls. I think it's a great balance, and a great look. The chain is 18", has a spring clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag. All components are Sterling Silver.

Sideways Crucifix Cross Necklace - Horizontal Sterling Silver Cross and Chain

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:18:09 -0500

$41.00
This is a new addition to my sideways cross line. Upon a customer request, I modified this beautifully detailed crucifix to make it a sideways cross.

I have to admit that my sideways crosses were inspired by Tara Frey,
(author/editor/blogger: http://bellapink.typepad.com/). She asked me if I could make a gold sideways cross similar to the one that Taylor Jacobson wears, (Rachel Zoe Project),
http://www.chicintuition.com/?p=2524, because she couldn't find one anywhere. So... I present to you my handcrafted, copyrighted line of sideways crosses. Available in various sizes, finishes, and metals.

Modifying this cricifix into a horizontal cross was a time consuming, multi-step process, but I'm so happy with the results. This crucifix measures 15 x 25mm, (approx 1/2" x 1"), and is meant to rest around the hollow of your throat. It has a shiny finish.

The Sterling Silver chain, including the cross, is 15 3/4" from end to end. It has a Sterling Silver lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. If you want the length adjusted, please leave a message when you check out.

Chain, Chain, Chains - 14K Gold Filled Chain Necklace - 21 Inches

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 19:40:21 -0500

$42.00
I love the unique, asymmetrical look of this chain necklace. On one side I doubled up a dainty gold Filled 1mm ball chain, on the other I used a single strand of 1.5mm 14K Gold Filled rolo chain. For the focal chain in the center of the necklace I used a double layer of 10mm round circle chain, also made of 14K Gold filled. This necklace is 21" long, has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. If you want a different length contact me before purchasing to discuss design options.

The 10mm round circle chain is also available in my shop in any length. Enter Just Little Circles into the search bar and you'll find it there. As with all of my chains, this looks great layered.

The smaller heart locket is 3/4" x 3/4", has a snap closure, and is ideal for photos. The overall length of the circle and charm pendant is 4". The chain is adjustable 34" to 36", has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag. All of the components are silver tone.

Engrave-able Femme- Ultra Feminine, 14K Gold Filled Single Disc Circle - Hand Forged Necklace

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:14:04 -0500

$32.00
A new addition to my 'Femme' series! After many requests, I crafted this disc with 14K gold filled, therefore you can have it engraved at your local jewelers. Gold Filled doesn't tarnish or wear off - it will last a lifetime.

This is a subtly sexy necklace. Why? Because the circle disc rests right in the hollow of the neck...a very sexy part of a woman's anatomy. After hand crafting the 11mm disc, I attached a very thin cable chain to it so that all one really notices is the circle. It looks great alone or layered with other chains and charms. The 14K Gold Filled chain is 15 3/4" long, has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. If you want the length adjusted leave me a message when you check out. Also, if you prefer the brushed finish as shown in the last photo, leave me a message.

If you don't care to engrave the disc, you may want to purchase the less expensive Femme that is available in Vermeil or Sterling Silver in my shop. These are more affordable, ($22), because they are not hand forged.

I will also be introducing the Sterling Silver version, as well as a one hole drop charm soon.

The 'Femme' necklace was featured on Tara Frey's blog:

http://bellapink.typepad.com/bella_pink_postcards_from/2009/03/armed-and-dangerous.html

Tara Frey is an author, as well as a contributing editor to 'Romantic House', 'Romantic Country', and 'Romantic Living' magazines. After seeing a similar necklace on Bethenny Frankel, (from Real Houswives of NYC), she searched high and low for one, only to find my shop!

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 20:38:29 -0500

$28.00
This is a necklace that I designed, upon request, to match my earrings called 'Modern Elegance, (see photo). It is simnple and minimal, but attention-grabbing, with it's two-tone Artisan look. I love the handcrafted, rather than mass produced aspect.

I hammered, slightly domed the Sterling Silver circles, and applied a brush finish to the raised areas. As an interesting contrast, I added a wavy Vermeil disc that has a brushed finish. (The two tone look is all the rage right now). The Sterling silver circle measures approximately 14mm, (almost 1/2"). The Sterling Silver chain is 17", has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. You will look so fashionably elegant when you wear this!

This will become your favorite, 'go to' necklace. It looks great by itself or layered with other chains.
14K Gold Filled does not tarnish or wear off. It will last a lifetime. Great value.

Extra Long Layering Chain - 32 Inches, 14K Gold Filled Hammered Flower Discs

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:33:11 -0500

$58.00
If you watch the 'Today Show', ( Hoda and Kathy Lee Gifford), this is a chain similar to the one that Hoda has been wearing daily. It's an every day necklace to be worn alone or layered with other chains. The hammered flowers really catch the light to draw attention to the dainty, feminine chain.

For this long, chain, I have taken 13mm hammered round flower discs and incorporated them into a long 32" chain - which is so very fashioable now. I spaced the discs 4" apart, adding a perfectly balanced 14K Gold Filled 'Rolo' chain in between each disc. This length has 6 flowers that go all around the chain for a continuous look. The chain has a lobster clasp and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. If you prefer a differet size, contact me for pricing.

*14K Gold Filled does not tarnish, and will last a lifetime.

Sterling Silver Clear Glass Square Locket/Pendant - for Relics, Mementos, Keepsakes, Photos, or Anything Else

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:29:23 -0500

$39.00
This is a great piece! This is a double sided glass locket that unscrews below the bail so that you can add and change out whatever you choose to put in it at your whim! The glass is clear, and does not distort. Carry your loved one's photo, add a dried flower, part of a love letter, make a collage or simply cut circles out of decorative paper. Give it to your boyfriend with your picture and a nice message on the back - he can keep it in his pocket. Give it to grandma with your kids pictures - if you have more than two kids give her the extra pictures so she can change them out. Anything goes!

I have had brides tell me that they plan to walk up the aisle with the locket attached to their bouquet, and their deceased father's photo in it. What an incredible thought!

The width of the locket is 22mm, (almost 1"). It is approximately 1/2" thick. Including the swivel bail, it is 1 1/2" long. Sterling Silver.

Other shapes, sizes, and price ranges available here or in my other shop:

If you need a chain I have 16" and 18" ball chains available for $11 and $13, respectively.

I think ankle bracelets are so sexy, don't you? I never take mine off. This one is so cute! There are two chains twisted together - one is a thin snake chain, and the other is a 1mm ball chain. It is so detailed and dainty. This ankle bracelet is 9" long and has a lobster clasp. The approximate thickness is 3mm.
It is made for a small ankle, so please measure carefully, (with a string). If you've never worn an anklet, it really should sit loosely right at mid ankle bone or lower. I can add a couple of links to make it a little longer if necessary.

These earrings were inspired by some earrings that I saw on Jennifer Aniston, while watching 'Friends'. All I could really see were flashes of gold, dangling from chains, as she moved her head. They looked so pretty, so I scouted through my supplies, and chose these gold filled tear drops.

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:46:08 -0500

$32.00
This little cherub is a Sterling Silver rendition of the renowned painting by Raphael, (two angels looking upwards).
These figures are timeless, originally being painted in 1483-1520, and still ever so popular!

It looks great by itself, or as shown, with other charms. (the charms aren't included - I will be listing charms for necklaces soon).

The medallion disc is 13mm, (approximately 1/2"). I dropped it from a very pretty Sterling Silver 'figaro 8' chain. It is 17" long, has a lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. I will adjust the length either way, up to 18" at no extra charge, just leave me a message when you check out.

Sideways Cross Necklace - Oxidized Sterling Silver Cross and Chain - Simple And Modern

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:05:56 -0500

$38.00
I have to admit that this piece was inspired by Tara Frey,
(author/editor/blogger: http://bellapink.typepad.com/). She asked me if I could make a gold sideways cross similar to the one that Taylor Jacobson wears, (Rachel Zoe Project),
http://www.chicintuition.com/?p=2524

I made it for her, then decided to expand my Sideways Cross line by adding other finishes. This is another one of my handcrafted, copyrighted Cross necklaces.

For drama, I chose to heavily oxidize the 26mm, (1"), horizontal Sterling Silver cross, then buff the top area back to it's original sheen. The blackened border frames the silver so that it stands out. The back of the cross is equally as interesting, (see 4th photo). It is concave, and I applied the brushed finish to the outline, so you have two looks in one!
I oxidized a thin, dainty Sterling Silver cable chain to match the cross. The cross is meant to sit at the hollow of your throat. This chain is 15 3/4" in total length. It has an oxidized lobster clasp, and a 'Theresa Mink' signature tag attached. If you want the length adjusted please leave a message when you check out.

This necklace is so awesome and unique! Check out the 14K Gold Filled version in my shop, (available in 2 sizes), as well as the shiny Sterling Silver cross.
