Each of these delightfully diminutive lockets contains a colorful circle of postage from an international location-if you have a country in mind, I probably have a stamp from it!

The lockets feel so nice against your neck and stay in place AND pretty all day.<br /><br />The lockets are vintage, un-plated brass, and the chain is lacquer plated Antiqued Brass.<br /><br />Necklace is 16&quot; long, and has a 1&quot; extender chain and lobster clasp.

I suspect I may be a bit OCD, because I cannot bring myself to sell them individually, as they are imperfect without the the other. If you are looking for a BFF gift, then look no further!

I think it is from Russia or perhaps another Eastern European country-I forget. (let me know if you read this and recognize the flag up there in the top left corner) I thought it was funny to put a picture of a brougham on the back, as that is an early vehicle and clearly these are futuristic!<br /><br /><br />Pendant is made from a stamp decoupaged onto a vintage watch crystal, backed with old dictionary definitions and tied with 36&quot; of hand painted silk.<br /><br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17425179 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:58:59 -0500 25.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.45245661.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11802834 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.26893787.jpg" /><br /> $25.00<br /> I can never remember what it stands for-and when I was in school that is what they still called it. I love these Russian stamps-the ink is almost raised and the paper is shiny underneath. These stamps seem to have some sort of military medal on them with the sickle and crescent, and they were put out in 1976. A very good year.<br /><br />I should also mention the cool metallic green potato pearls and killer Czech beads that are blue and green like turquoise on the bottom of these lovelies.<br /><br />These earrings are around 2&quot; or more long, and are made with<br />hand canceled stamps-you&#39;ll never see anyone on the streets with a pair like yours, as they all come from the attention-deficit<br />mind of me.

Even though the purpose of a world fair was to encourage peaceful co-existence and co-operation among nations, it was mostly a competition between The Soviet Union and Germany. This stamp was made and used in 1937, so perhaps that&#39;s all we should celebrate!<br /><br />Earrings are made with the time old tradition of decoupage, a little swearing, NPR or good music in the background, with canceled stamps and vintage watch crytals.

These green one is, of course, my favorite, but the parasol lady is quite nice as well. Stamps are decoupaged onto blue rimmed and faceted vintage watch crystals, and hung with tiny and bright sapphire Swarovski crystals.<br /><br />Necklace is 16&quot;-17&quot;-adjustable, and is finished with a brass locket. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32667747 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:19:22 -0500 75.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.96280734.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32629297 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.96154791.jpg" /><br /> $20.00<br /> One sweet butterfly circles your wrist on soft blue crepe cord from Japan...three dainty lockets are empty-they have the potential to be full-all they need is for someone too fill them with tiny circles of paper cut with a standard hole punch. Fuchsia swarovski crystal ball is sparkly and bright.<br /><br />Finished size is 8 inches-perfect for a solidly built WOMAN. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32629297 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:39:31 -0500 20.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.96154791.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31677407 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.92958711.jpg" /><br /> $25.00<br /> “Il Tornio” is the art of turning wood using a lathe. I would like very much to think that the man pictured on this blue-hued stamp is working on spokes for wheels for a Sicilian donkey cart, but I think he may just be working on a few vessels made of wood. Perhaps for wine then? <br /><br />Earrings are around 2&quot; or more long, and are made with canceled stamps-you&#39;ll never see anyone on the street with a pair like yours, as they all come from the attention-deficit mind of me.

Butterflies remind me of my grandmother, Sug, who always said that butterfies were free, and this charm makes a sweet bell chime when it moves on your wrist.<br /><br />You can put whatever you like in the lockets-I&#39;ve left them empty for potential-all you need is a standard hole punch and a bit of glue!<br /><br />Bracelet is 5.5-6.5&quot; and adjustable, all findings are made in the USA with the exception of the cord, which comes to us from Japan, and the Austrian Swarovski crystal...whcih is from-you guessed it!<br /><br />I ship internationally! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33525235 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:15:45 -0400 20.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.99168912.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33524664 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.99166764.jpg" /><br /> $25.00<br /> ...or perhaps it&#39;s Mary and Jesus-I&#39;m a little stumped on this one. If you know-please tell me. I do love the picture, so that&#39;s all that really matters, it&#39;s all done in shades of blue and the detail is amazing. I&#39;ve added what I thought was a very appropriate cover for the back, whether it&#39;s a queen or a virgin mother.<br /><br />Earrings are made with vintage watch crystals(GLASS!) decoupaged with a canceled postage stamp from Portugal.

On tiny, white-trimmed vintage watch crystals I&#39;ve carefully decoupaged a pretty blue and green postage stamp depicting the town of Cognac in France.

I am not sure what year this stamp was printed, but at the low price of .15 cents it must be pretty old.

First I stick the stamps (or other interesting, papery things) to the backs of the watch crystals, and next I cement on a brass paillette. Then I cover the whole thing with vintage dictionary pages and images. Each square or circle is handled at least seven times in the process-I want them to be as close to my idea of perfect as they can be!<br />Each pair of stamps is then made into a unique pair of earrings-I have a large bead collection and I chose something different for each pair. Yours may include semiprecious stones, pearls, Czech glass, vintage Czech glass, vintage Lucite, brass charms/findings, watch innards and enameled metal flowers.<br />All ear wires and dangles are made from gold-plated brass earring hoops, and any slight discoloring of the stamps is due to either age and/or the reaction of the ink to the adhesives I use, and should not be considered imperfections, but rather, human made. While they are water-resistant they shouldn’t be submerged or showered in. They are made of glass so they can be broken-especially if you happen to be an enthusiastic telephone-answerer like me! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12589003 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:09:50 -0400 25.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.29454034.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8368798 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.15650624.jpg" /><br /> $25.00<br /> Lovely ship, the trireme...it was used by the Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans and other Mediterranean peoples to wage war.
