It is 19&quot; long. Be advised that if you need for your necklaces to be 19&quot; to be comfortable, this necklace will not be long enough. The width of the stiff neckpiece causes the necklace to seem shorter than it is. I recommend this necklace for anyone who likes their necklaces 16-17&quot; long.<br /><br />It is completely handcrafted out of sterling and fine silver wires, each curl formed by hand and soldered into place individually. It features a beautiful, sparkling 13x18mm blue goldstone cab set in sterling silver. Brilliant AAA faceted Garnet briolettes hang along with blue goldstone briolletes on the bottom of the piece. Tiny garnet beads attach a sterling silver chain to the neckpiece and also attach the custom, handcrafted (by me) toggle clasp of fine and sterling silver to the necklace.<br /><br />It&#39;s definitely a work of art, and quite a showstopper. My initials and the year are etched into the back of the cabochon setting. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27257156 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:31:01 -0500 195.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.78119862.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25708493 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.72940022.jpg" /><br /> $26.95<br /> Length: 1 7/8&quot;<br /><br />These earrings are handmade completely by me using wire and my torch. I make the rings, the earwires, headpins--everything! All of the rings are fused, and some have a hammered texture to add interest. They were tumbled overnight for maximum shine.<br /><br />They feature 8mm Swarovski crystal cubes in peridot. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25708493 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:52 -0400 26.95 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.72940022.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25727803 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.73005222.jpg" /><br /> $42.95<br /> Length: about 3 1/4&quot;<br /><br />These earrings are one of my favorite creations. They aren&#39;t simply chain maille. They were meticulously constructed, ring by ring, and each ring was fused shut.<br /><br />They feature several Swarovski crystals, including a glorious number of 8mm Swarovski rondelle crystals. All of the crystals have the AB coating for extra shine. These are great for a bride or for any fashionista out there wanting to dress up her heels and jeans (I know I LOVE wearing earrings like this with my jeans!). http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25727803 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:52 -0400 42.95 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.73005222.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728068 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.73006036.jpg" /><br /> $33.95<br /> Length: just over 2 1/2&quot;<br /><br />These earrings are another of one of my favorite designs. They aren&#39;t simply chain maille--each of these rings was handmade by me AND fused shut. They won&#39;t come apart!<br /><br />They feature several Swarovski crystals in one of my favorite colors--Pacific Opal. They&#39;d be great with a cocktail dress or jeans. The blueish/greenish/yellowish color of these crystals makes them extremely versatile! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728068 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 33.95 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.73006036.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728262 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.73006554.jpg" /><br /> $16.95<br /> Length: 1 3/4&quot;<br /><br />These earrings are made from fused and hammered fine silver rings and feature 6mm Swarovski crystal rondelles. They&#39;re incredibly light and fun to wear! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728262 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 16.95 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.73006554.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728347 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.73006811.jpg" /><br /> $16.95<br /> Length: 1 3/4&quot;<br /><br />These earrings are made from fused and hammered fine silver rings and feature 6mm Swarovski crystal rondelles. They&#39;re incredibly light and fun to wear! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728347 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 16.95 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.73006811.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728685 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.73008277.jpg" /><br /> $108.95<br /> Length: 18&quot; long<br /><br />This necklace has 25 8mm Vintage Rose Swarovski crystals (the color is named &quot;Vintage Rose&quot;; the crystals themselves are not vintage) and features 42 of my own fused fine silver rings, many of them hammered with a beautiful texture. All of the beads are connected into the necklace using wrapped wire loops to ensure the security of the piece.<br /><br />The necklace also has a handmade toggle clasp, also in fine silver, created for this piece. The pale pink would perfectly compliment many other colors, and is understated enough for accenting a bridal gown. The toggle clasp will clasp into any ring along the length of the necklace, so it could potentially be shortened if needed. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25728685 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 108.95 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.73008277.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25763920 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.73126973.jpg" /><br /> $18.95<br /> Length: About 4 1/2&quot; with clasp and chain. (Please note that this bracelet will fit a wrist up to about 4&quot; around.)<br /><br />YES! This bracelet could be for a boy OR a girl! (I have TWO boys and no girls, so I&#39;m somewhat passionate about creating baby jewelry designs for boys!) Think of how cute your little man will look with his own jewelry.<br /><br />This bracelet features a handmade fine silver hook clasp which can attach to any link along the handmade fused fine silver chain.<br /><br />I&#39;m including in this price an optional 4mm bicone Swarovski crystal drop in birthstone colors as listed below. Suggested options for boys and girls are listed below.<br /><br />January: Dark Red (Garnet)<br />February: Dark Purple (Amethyst)<br />March: Light Blue (Aquamarine)<br />April: Clear Crystal (Diamond)<br />May: Dark Green (Emerald)<br />June: Light Purple (Smoky Quartz)<br />July: Red (Ruby)<br />August: Light Green (Peridot)<br />September: Dark Blue (Sapphire)<br />October: Pink (Tourmaline)<br />November: Yellow (Topaz/Citrine)<br />December: Blue Green (Blue Zircon)<br /><br />For GIRLS:<br />Have the Swarovski drop attached at the end of the chain.<br /><br />For BOYS:<br />Leave the drop off, but specify color, and I can make the loop a bit bigger for mom to slip on her own chain. OR--Add one extra link to the length of the bracelet INSTEAD of the Swarovski crystal drop. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25763920 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 18.95 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.73126973.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25764282 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.73127946.jpg" /><br /> $28.95<br /> This pendant measures about 7/8&quot; across, and 1 1/8&quot; total length including the fused fine silver bail.<br /><br />This pendant is stamped with the text &quot;Zeph 3:17&quot; (one of my favorite verses) and also features two Christian fish symbols. The pendant shape was cut by me (using special tools, of course) from 18 gauge fine silver sheet. I cut a hole in the top portion, hand stamped the designs, antiqued, and tumbled the piece. It features a fused fine silver bail in an oval shape. The pendant has a somewhat textured edge around the outer and inner circle. It was tumbled overnight for maximum strength and shine.<br /><br />&quot;The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.&quot;<br />-Zeph. 3:17 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25764282 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 28.95 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.73127946.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25764447 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.73128499.jpg" /><br /> $24.95<br /> This pendant is about 7/8&quot; across and is about 1 1/8&quot; long, including the bail.<br /><br />I cut the shape from 18 gauge fine silver sheet (using special tools) and hand stamped the word &quot;truth&quot; and two Christian fish symbols on the surface of the pendant. I added an oval shaped, fused fine silver bail to it, antiqued it, and tumbled it overnight for maximum strength and shine. The pendant has a slight texture along the outer and inner circles.<br /><br />Because of the shape and weight of the pendant, it naturally hangs with the larger side down. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25764447 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 24.95 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.73128499.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25764555 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.73128834.jpg" /><br /> $24.95<br /> This pendant is 7/8&quot; across and is about 1 1/8&quot; long including the bail.<br /><br />I cut this pendant from 18 gauge fine silver sheet, using special tools, hammered the word, added a fused oval shaped fine silver bail, and antiqued it.

They are 100% fine silver and have handmade fine silver headpins and handmade fine silver earwires.<br /><br />What is fused fine silver? The metal, 99.9% pure fine silver (different from sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver), is formed into a ring and heated until molten, making the ring solid.

This is an exacting process--the slightest overheating or underheating or uneven heating of the ring will cause an unsightly bubble of metal in the ring. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26481459 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:39:51 -0400 28.95 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.75533232.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26481974 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.75534433.jpg" /><br /> $56.95<br /> These earrings measure about 4&quot; long.

They are approximately 16mm, or 5/8&quot;, in diameter. I tumble polished them for 24 hours to give them superior smoothness and strength. They have a great shine to them!<br /><br />They&#39;ve been hammered with some random texture on the front.

Swarovski crystals are attached with ball ended fine silver headpins (also made by me!). The entire setup comes on a silver plated chain to hold the stitch markers together AND to adorn your knitting bag.<br /><br />The markers themselves are about 1 1/8&quot; long (including crystals), and the rings will comfortably fit on knitting needles up to size 15 (possibly a bit larger, but 15 is the largest size I own, so I know they fit on those. ^_^).<br /><br />***Please note: These are not going to work for Crochet, unless you&#39;re doing Tunisian crochet, since these markers slip onto a needle to mark a stitch. You can&#39;t mark stitches in crochet with these because you won&#39;t be able to take them off of the stitches once they&#39;re completed!***<br /><br />The idea for these stitch markers was born on a long road trip. While in the car, I was knitting a new pattern and I needed some stitch markers. I didn&#39;t have any, so I made some out of yarn. You can do the same thing, of course! But this got me thinking that these fused rings I make, usually for jewelry, would be perfect for marking stitches in knitting, AND I could hang pretty crystals off of them, AND I could put them on a little chain so I wouldn&#39;t lose them, and--! I could hang the chain off of my knitting bag and my handy stitch markers can double as a charm for the bag!<br /><br />So here is my newest product offering, from one passionate knitter to another, an idea born of a long, boring road trip made more pleasurable (and productive!) by knitting. <br /><br />These would be the ultimate in a luxurious gift for any knitter in your life. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19554242 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:57:28 -0400 8.95 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.52313144.jpg new 2 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19554479 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.52314111.jpg" /><br /> $8.95<br /> These stitch markers are made from fine silver wire, fused together and textured.

They are completely handmade, tumbled for strength and shine, and made of 99.9% pure silver, not sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver. They tarnish much more slowly than sterling silver, are often shown to be safe for people with metal allergies to sterling silver, and are a great accent to your fine silver pieces made from Art Clay or PMC.<br /><br />I&#39;m beginning my journey into selling my own handmade supplies, after many questions as to where I &quot;find&quot; my fine silver findings. The truth is that I make every single finding used in each of my fine silver pieces because I enjoy the creative process, but also because well priced fine silver findings are still hard to find. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16943527 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:57:28 -0400 5.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.43660524.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16909329 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.43548880.jpg" /><br /> $34.95<br /> This pendant is made of fine silver, soldered together with sterling silver solder (they don&#39;t make fine silver solder). It is approximately 1.5&quot; wide and slightly less than 1.25&quot; long (including the oval shaped fused ring bail). The solder joints are covered with fine silver disks, both for strength and beauty. This is a completely handcrafted piece. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16909329 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:57:28 -0400 34.95 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.43548880.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16909193 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.43548428.jpg" /><br /> $36.95<br /> This bracelet style is made from fused fine silver rings that I made myself, completed with a toggle clasp also made by me.

The largest of the above words, &quot;girlfriend&quot;, is 2&quot; wide. They average about 3/4&quot;-1&quot; tall. The bail loops are large enough to accomodate most chains. The square wire gives these pendants a stunning look when the light bounces off of them--each side of the wire is like a glistening little facet. Every pendant I make is tumble polished overnight with stainless steel shot to give ultimate shine, strength, and smoothness.<br /><br />Each pendant will come with a silver plated ball chain in a length of your choice, from 16-24&quot;. Alternatively, I can include a black adjustable cotton cord that will adjust from 16-30&quot;. Keep in mind, if ordering a cord necklace, that the pendant cannot be removed from the cord necklace without cutting the cord.<br /><br />Specify on special orders whether you&#39;d like the double bail or single bail. Both styles are pictured above. The double bail is the one with two loops at the top and the single bail is the one with one loop at the top. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9308742 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:57:28 -0400 13.95 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.18715552.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17033349 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.43956312.jpg" /><br /> $13.95<br /> When ordering, specify desired ring size.<br /><br />This ring features an 8mm natural Rose Quartz round bead.

Please let me know which you would like with your order.<br /><br />More about the piece:<br />I handcrafted each piece you see in this pendant--the rings, which are fused solid, the textured teardrop central piece, the oval bail--all of it was made completely by me with various techniques, including torch work. The crystals were placed onto a large ring of wire which was then fused at the ends, a process which is quite delicate as heating too closely to the crystals can melt them or change their color. It is then shaped into its final form and tumble polished overnight for strength and shine. This pendant is a completely original design.<br /><br />This pendant features the common colors of faith or salvation design in Swarovski crystal, the meanings of which are listed below.<br /><br />Yellow: God&#39;s holiness<br />Dark: A person&#39;s sinful heart<br />Red: Blood of Jesus<br />Clear: Person&#39;s heart washed clean<br />Green: New life in Christ http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13361381 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:56:36 -0400 22.95 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.31940277.jpg new 3 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17664175 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.46038218.jpg" /><br /> $24.95<br /> This lovely pendant is made from thick fine silver sheet (18 gauge), measures 3/4&quot; across and 1&quot; long with the oval shaped fused fine silver bail.

I begin with different sized piles of wire on my work table and, using various techniques (including fusing, hammering, etc.), fashion all of the components used in my work--every balled headpin, the ball end and hammered earwires, any toggle clasps, any solid rings with hammered designs that may be present in these pieces--it&#39;s all my work.<br /><br />WHAT IS FINE SILVER?<br />My torch work is done exclusively with fine silver, which is 99.9% pure silver, compared to sterling silver which is 92.5% silver. This doesn&#39;t make fine silver better, necessarily, than sterling silver, but it does make it more valuable. Because of the purity of the metal, many people who have allergic reactions to sterling silver can wear fine silver with no problem (people are very rarely allergic to silver or gold--they most likely have allergies to the metals mixed into the silver and gold to create the less expensive alloys). Fine silver, because of its purity, is softer than sterling silver, so some extra caution should be taken with the pieces, not that they&#39;re delicate by any means--just treat the pieces a bit more gently, much like you would if you were handling 24kt vs. 14kt gold. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23460349 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:56:35 -0400 13.95 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.65398940.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23460514 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.65399319.jpg" /><br /> $13.95<br /> DESCRIPTION<br />These lovely earrings hang at just over an inch in length and will dangle 1/2&quot;-3/4&quot; from the ear.
