I think they are way classy, something that will easily take you from the office to that little black party dress!<br /><br />I handcrafted these earrings with 14k Gold Filled wire which I formed, and tumbled for superior shine and strength. I made the golf filled paddle pins, and hung these gorgeous round black onyx beads on them. The sway and move with you! <br /><br />These earrings measure just a tad longer than 2&quot; total length. The earring backs are 14k GF as well. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16153919 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:14:58 -0400 32.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.41066908.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13098492 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.31092743.jpg" /><br /> $26.00<br /> Using my scraps and other objects one might overlook is one of my favorite things to do with my art. This is another one of the pieces I have used some of my scraps for to make an unusual &quot;flower&quot; out of, by melting and shaping the metal, and then heating it again until this wonderful texture appears.<br /><br />This is a listing for a pair of flower earrings. The ear wires are in the shape of petals. On the end hangs a reticulated flower, accented with a fine silver ball, and sterling leaves. <br /><br />These earring measure a total of 1 7/8th inches long, and are super light. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13098492 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:14:58 -0400 26.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.31092743.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12522914 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.29237704.jpg" /><br /> $72.00<br /> You know the time when a seed first reaches up into the air, and it has that reaching up and out motion? The ground breaks open from the force of new life. This piece symbolizes this.<br /><br />This piece is hand forged out of copper, and sterling silver. The copper has been texturized, and a hollow dome formed. Under there lay seeds, sprouts, and the growth explosion happening. You can see silver seeds, and sprouts inside the copper dome, about to break the surface as well. There are silver stones and more sprouts coming for the base of the dome. It hangs on an oxidized sterling silver chain, and is accented with Smokey quartz and red jasper. The clasp is also hand forged as well, and the stones are accented with oxidized sterling silver wire.<br /><br />This necklace measures 19” long and the pendant hangs a tiny bit over 2<br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12522914 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:14:58 -0400 72.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.29237704.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19136506 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.50932289.jpg" /><br /> $15.00<br /> This is a listing for a pair of open hoops with gorgeous vintage AB rounds.

I set this gorgeous little rose quartz cabochon I got out of a bin of old stones circa 1919, in fine silver. The rose quartz is not super rosey, but it is there, just a bit, very subtle. All accents were created out of recycled sterling silver. I then gave it all a light oxidized patina, to give it that well loved look.<br /><br />This ring is a size 9.25, and the band is 5mm wide.<br /><br />Rose Quartz enhances all forms of love, including self love.<br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19166718 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:14:58 -0400 45.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.51032915.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19166466 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.51043648.jpg" /><br /> $16.00<br /> These earrings remind me of purple and pink flying saucers, for that colorful alien girl! ;)<br /><br />These unique and fun earrings stared out with handmade sterling silver ear wires, in a very unique shape, I then hung pink agate beads on handmade rosey copper headpins, and accented them with purple jade. Colorful and fun!!! <br /><br /><br />These earrings measure 1 and 5/8th inches long, including the ear wire. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19166466 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:14:57 -0400 16.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.51043648.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29365495 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.85196056.jpg" /><br /> $14.00<br /> Like cool water, these are calming, serene and beautiful.<br /><br />These are crafted with handmade copper findings, gorgeous blue glass, and light blue topaz.

I didn&#39;t see any of the rest of the dragonfly that day, althought I didn&#39;t look for it either. I knew right as I hopped over it, that I HAD to make a dragonfly pendant, and this little blue topaz popped into my head, just a split second later, as if to say, &quot;I wanna be on that wing!&quot; So in my usual, &#39;if you don&#39;t know it can&#39;t be done, you can do it&#39; fashion, I went home and decided to make a setting for that tiny stone and give it a home on my wing!<br /><br />This pendant was handforged from sterling silver. The design was left open and rather simple, with just the tiny blue topaz set as an accent. The topaz measures 4 by 3mm and came from a lot of stones I bought that were old stock from the early 1,900&#39;s. This stone was dated at 1919 or earlier. I finsihed the piece off with an oxidized patina to really set off the stone and design.<br /><br />This wing measures 3 inches long by a tad over a inch wide. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18640158 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:47:36 -0400 68.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.49290710.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28478862 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.82222146.jpg" /><br /> $42.00<br /> Oraganic vines for your fingers, each of these rings are totally unique. <br /><br />This is a listing for three organic vine stacker rings. They are made with the dots being in a random fashion, so each set of rings will be totally unique, but just as gorgeous! I love all the options with these rings, you can wear any one of them, or two, or all three, and each looks like a different ring! I have included pics so you can see the different looks of wearing a different number of them.<br /><br />This set of rings has been oxidized, but they can be bright shiny sterling silver as well. Just let me know in the notes to seller what finish you prefer.<br /><br />These are made so order, so be sure to put your ring size in the sellers notes as well, and allow up to 10 working days to create your rings. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28478862 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:47:36 -0400 42.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.82222146.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22042998 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.60642826.jpg" /><br /> $75.00<br /> This ring is a gorgeous purple, but when you get it in the light it has blue and red flashes... a wonderfull stone!!!<br /><br />This ring showcases a lab created alexandrite that is 12mm by 10mm... a very nice sized ring that will not get lost on your finger! The ring has been oxidized and heavily polished back so that the shiny silver shows, and the black just stays where it is needed to create depth and ageless beauty.<br /><br />This ring is a size 7.5 and has a .925 mark on the back of the bezel. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22042998 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:47:36 -0400 75.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.60642826.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16077097 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.40815271.jpg" /><br /> $60.00<br /> This is as close as I have been to anything resembling snow for years. Living in FL will do that to you. Maybe that&#39;s why I craved this stone, and HAD to set it right away!!!! My little piece of ice in FL. Looking at it reminds me of ice formations on snow.<br /><br />I crafted this piece out of sterling silver, natural stone, black onyx cab, and copper. I bezel set the FL druzy on agate piece, accented it with silver balls bubbling over the sides, one black onyx also bezel set among the silver bubbles, and just for contrast, I put one copper ball next to the black onyx. I then oxidized and polished the piece to bring out the detail and depth. The result is like a wearable ice castle bubbling over.<br /><br />This pendant measures 1.5&quot; long by .75&quot; wide and has a fairly large bail to accommodate most chain sizes.<br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16077097 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:47:36 -0400 60.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.40815271.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22472652 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.62090473.jpg" /><br /> $58.00<br /> These two colors are so spring to me!!!! For this piece I decided to mix two colors of amethyst. I wrapped this ring with quite a few feet of tiny sterling silver wire, over strong sterling silver wire. The weave is a very eye catching one, and super comfortable on your finger as well!<br /><br />I have oxidized this piece and polished it to bring out the detail.<br /><br />This ring is a size 8.<br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22472652 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:47:36 -0400 58.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.62090473.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22472089 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.62088512.jpg" /><br /> $55.00<br /> This ring is created with gorgeous mocrofaceted graduated color iolites. These are so sparkly and beautiful!!!! The band has been woven with superfine sterling silver wire and the piece was oxidized and them polished heavily to bring out the detail in the wrapping.<br /><br />This ring is a size 8.5.<br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22472089 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:47:35 -0400 55.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.62088512.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23097027 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.64179902.jpg" /><br /> $10.00<br /> This listing is for a tutorial showing you how to make this Massai Shield pendant; it is not for the pendant itself.

(I used copper, but also have used half hard sterling for this style piece as well)<br /><br />7 feet of 24 gauge wire dead soft.

It is detailed, while staying small in scale. The iolite is a nice dark blue, with facets and the labradorite is a greyish color with flashes of green. If you would like a sterling silver chain to hang it on, please send a convo so I can give a quote for one.<br /><br />This pendant measures 1 1/8th inches long including the bail. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23538393 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:18:19 -0400 36.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.65661576.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23538509 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.65661962.jpg" /><br /> $45.00<br /> Here is the first of my &quot;OM&quot; pendant series!!! This is a design I have been working out for a little while now, and I think I finally settled on one I like. <br /><br />This listing is for one I did in mixed metals, sterling silver and 14k gold filled. I love the contrast of the metals! So simple and shiek!<br /><br />This pendant measures 1 1/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inches wide, not including the jumpring to hang it from. If you would like a custom sterling silver chain to hang this pendant on, send me a convo for a price quote! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23538509 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:18:19 -0400 45.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.65661962.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18593681 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.49136379.jpg" /><br /> $38.00<br /> You know this ring was a major adventure... it gave me a few design problems at first (but nothing I could not manage to fix), but once finished, my first thought was... &quot;Wow that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie or something!&quot; So I am calling it, &#39;Beam Me Up&#39;!<br /><br />These little green tourmaline points are so green and vibrant and clean… they just screamed to me to stay together, so I set them apart, but together still. The setting was hand fabricated by me... the ring band is created out of heavy gauge sterling silver that has been hammered and oxidized for an organic feel and look. Very unique and stunning!<br /><br />This ring is a size 7. <br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18593681 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:18:19 -0400 38.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.49136379.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18746447 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.49645154.jpg" /><br /> $185.00<br /> This cuff reminds me of climbing vines on a trellis or something of that sort!<br /><br />This piece started with this stone (sorry I do not know what stone this one is, but I assure you it&#39;s gorgeous!)... it just screamed to be in a cuff. Using techniques such as soldering, hammering, stone setting, fusing (bringing the metal to almost melting so it makes a bond without the use of solder), cutting, and wire wrapping, I made this one of a kind cuff.<br /><br />The metals used are sterling silver and brass for the leaves. I started by making a heavy gauge sterling frame, and adding lots of sterling “vines” some with just little buds on them a couple with brass leaves. I then wire wrapped the center stone to the frames, so that it all hinges when opened. The little gold beads in the wire wrapping are 14k gold filled, to accent the gold colors in the stone. The clasp is a handmade clasp that I extended the vine look to, also making it slip proof. I added small bezel set stones around the center stone for accents. These are two 5mm black onyx round cabs (one on each side) and two 3mm tigers eye round cabs (also one on each side)<br /><br />This bracelet is slightly adjustable so that it ensures a perfect fit for your wrist! The open design lets you mold it to your wrist a bit, just by lightly squeezing it. The cuff measures 1 and 5/8th inches wide. It will fit up to a 6.75-7 inch wrist... measuring with a measuring tape snug around your wrist. However if you wish I could add a jump ring or two to accommodate a larger wrist, just let me know in the notes to seller upon checkout. <br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18746447 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:48:14 -0400 185.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.49645154.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16610013 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.42558600.jpg" /><br /> $135.00<br /> I imagine these were worn by medeval princesses, or someone like that, dark and mysterious, and luxurious...<br /><br />These earring were handcrafted by weaving fine silver wire, and sterling silver wire, along with hessonite garnet, and deep red garnet. Many fine silver headpins were made and each bead wrapped for all the dangles... the beads are sterling as well. I then oxidized and hand polished them to bring out the details, and give them that aged mystery. <br /><br />Please note I used 18 gauge for the ear wire part of the hoops, so it is a little thicker than a regular ear wire... I used this so that it would hold its shape with the earring. I can wear this gauge without a problem, but if your piercings are new, I would not suggest this gauge. If you are interested in a similar earring with a smaller gauge thorugh the ear, convo me and we can work out a custom design.<br /><br />These earrings measure 2 inches (5cm) from the top to the bottom, and 1.5 inches (4.5cm) wide.<br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16610013 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:48:14 -0400 135.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.42558600.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22031539 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.60609978.jpg" /><br /> $120.00<br /> This piece reminds me of a tiny galaxy, so that is what I am calling it.<br /><br />This piece started out with this fabulous lampwork bead with blues, greens and white, so I went with that pallate for the stones, and kept the silver shiny, to keep the light look going throughout the piece.<br /><br />Starting from the top, I wire wrapped a beadcap of sorts, with aquamarine mocrofaceted beads and super fine sterling silver wire. The bottom has some gorgeous smooth labadorite briolettes with nice fire, blue-green tourmaline, and mocrofaceted green amethysts, along with pure white pearls.<br /><br />This necklace has a lot of visual appeal, and as it turns you see lots of variation in the looks, both from the stones as well as from the beautiful lampwork bead. <br /><br />This pendant measures 1.5 inches long including the bail, and it comes on a 24 inch sterling silver box chain. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22031539 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:48:14 -0400 120.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.60609978.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23608968 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.65897970.jpg" /><br /> $185.00<br /> This piece is a new level for me... when I got done with it looks so relic like, I could not help but to name it that. Like something ancient but modern.<br /><br />This pendant features a nice lightly faceted jasper in the center, some 14k gold filled bead accents, and tourmaline accents... all wrapped in sterling silver, lightly oxidized and hand polished to bring out the details. This piece is a conversation starter for sure!!! It seems everyone so far who has seen it says it looks like something different. So it is a very open for interpretation piece. <br /><br />This pendant measures 3 3/8th inches from the top of the bail to the bottom of the stone and the chain accents hang another .5 inches past that. The top of the bail is 1.25 inches wide. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23608968 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:48:14 -0400 185.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.65897970.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27609821 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.79302416.jpg" /><br /> $85.00<br /> What can I say about this necklace??? It is made for a goddess... a little kiss of ruby!!!!<br /><br />A handcrafted (by me of course!) sterling silver scroll pendant is adorned with a single smooth ruby briolette, amethyst, pearls, iolite, and sterling silver beads. This piece has it all, elegance, romance, gorgeous stones and colors! You will feel like a princess everytime you wear it! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27609821 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:48:13 -0400 85.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.79302416.jpg new 1
