Smokey Topaz Sterling Silver Wrapped Earrings

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:31:19 -0500

$65.00

These earrings are wrapped in .925 Sterling Silver wire and have .925 (stamped) Sterling Silver french ear wires with a ball end.

Oxidized and buffed sterling creates a gently antiqued texture. You may see many wire wrapped earrings here on Etsy but these are perfectly wrapped in 30 gauge sterling silver wire and soldered finished. The look is very high end and doesn't compare.

AAA grade Genuine Faceted Smokey Topaz Gemstones in a chocolate tone will dangle from your ears and catch light perfectly. Imagine how they'd shimmer under mere candlelight or in the glam of city lights.

Dress these up or down, day or evening, and pair with your favorite oxidized necklace. See more of my shop for matching pieces.

Entire earring is 1 1/4" tall, .5" wide. The gemstone itself is a little over 3/4" tall. Ear wires are .5" tall.

Set of two hammered rings - Sterling Silver Light Baby Blue Jade Stone looks like Calcedony - and oxidized sterling silver band

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:31:18 -0500

$50.00
This is a set of two stacking rings that look gorgeous together. Wear them together or separate!

1. A light blue jade stone adorns this Sterling ring in a four prong setting. It is 8mm tall, 5mm long, and has a diagonal setting. That makes it work really well with other stone stacking rings. I have hammered this ring's band to create a rugged, faceted texture. Band is 2mm wide.

*The blue jade is darker than it appears to be in the first two photos in this listing.

2. A sterling silver band first hammered, then oxidized, then buffed, then hammered again. This ring is very rugged, and imperfectly shaped. The texture creates a vintage feel. Band is 3mm side.

Size 7.5 (I can enlarge them to size 8)

Both 100% .925 Sterling Silver, stamped inside.

Custom Antique Watch Bracelet with possible Gold or Diamond

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:30:37 -0500

$65.00
This listing is for a custom antique watch bracelet.

The pictures above are examples of pieces I did. *Please look in my sold items to see more* No two bracelets will be the same considering every watch face I find is different. Some 10k plated, maybe some with diamond chips. I use mostly watches from before the 60s, and a lot are wind-up. This makes them "green" as you aren't using batteries. I can not guarantee you will get any working pieces in this watch but I try to fit at least one working one in.

If you'd like a pre-made bracelet please see my other listings.

Normal turn around is two weeks. Sterling Silver loops to connect will be extra, otherwise I use brass or copper.

The price above is for 5 watch faces & extender to your custom size. If you want more watch faces instead of an extender, please convo me for a custom reserved order :)

When purchasing please give me this info:

Wrist size:
Color preference (silver and gold colors shown):
Clasp preference (magnetic, claw, etc. [mini claw shown]):

Convo me with any questions or if you'd like to discuss your bracelet's exact specifications before you buy.

Vintage Dogwood Sterling Silver Pendant on Sterling 16 in. chain 5 total BRIDESMAID GIFT

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:30:36 -0500

$25.00
I purchased a Sterling Silver Dogwood bracelet from a friend who is an Antique dealer. The bracelet featured 5 dogwood blossoms, and was stamped .925 Silver on it's clasp.

I never wore the piece although it was one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. It was just a bit too large for my liking.

I decided to make each of the dogwood blossoms into a pendant and buff some of the natural oxidation that had accumulated on these dogwoods.

There is a limited amount. Only 5 can be made. This is a very unique 5 of a kind necklace.

The dogwood blossom has four petals. It is three dimensional and can be worn facing either way. It is a little over 3/4" in diameter. The chain is a 16" stamped .925 Sterling Silver twisted serpentine chain. The bail used on the pendant. is large and it can easily be slipped onto another chain.

The band is 4mm thick, and I have sizes whole sizes 5 - 13. Please leave a note upon checkout with your size!

Falling Apart - Vintage Sterling Silver ring with CZ - Stamped - Size 6 or 7

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:55:16 -0500

$35.00
This one of a kind piece is vintage sterling silver and cubic zerconia. Some stones are missing, which is what caught my eye about this ring. I felt pity for it, and felt the same way as it looked.

Stamped on the band are the words falling apart & the band is hammered to create a rugged look. The ring has been oxidizing and I have buffed it to show a little clarity in the metal but not a lot.

Size 6, but I can size it to a 6.5 or 7 if needed. Leave a note if you want it sized upon checkout.

Hammered Sterling Silver Stacking Ring - All Sizes - 3mm thick

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:25:51 -0500

$22.00
Simple and fun, these bands perfect for any gift occasion. The price is purposely low and reasonable so you can purchase more than one for stacking! 3mm band

This is a hand altered Sterling Silver ring stamped .925 inside. I have hammered these rings to a mirror like finish. It creates a wonderful glimmering mirror like finish that is similar to diamond cut bands. It creates a light catching texture that is really attractive. Each ring is hammered by hand and therefore they are all different.

Your choice of the bright Silver hammered ring, or oxidized darker ring.

The oxidized, darker ring goes through a process where I speed up the oxidation process onto the Sterling Silver Ring. All Sterling Silver oxidizes and needs to be polished over time. These rings are oxidized to a very dark finish, and buffed to show it's shine where the hammered texture is highest. It creates a very unique looking texture, and goes so well with all types of metal rings.

*If you need more than the quantity listed as 'in stock' please convo, I can set you up with a reserved custom order!

Amethyst Crystal Pendant on a Necklace with faceted quartz and sterling silver rose. Victorian inspired.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:54:30 -0500

$35.00
A 1.5" inch x 1" inch druzy pendant is the focal bead of this unique necklace. This is genuine Amethyst.

Amethyst is a transparent, coarse-grained, purple variety of quartz.
Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades from pale lilac to deep purple. The pale colors like this are sometimes called "Rose de France" and can be seen set in Victorian jewelry.

The flip side of this pendant is a smooth creamy stone. The pendant's crystals are a light pale lavender. Also adorning this piece is an oval white quartz bead and a vintage sterling silver rose (upcycled from a sterling bracelet) The chain is a pewter silver, 17" inch with a 3" extender.

Although it is a large stone, it is a light necklace...but it is heavy enough to stay center.

This necklace is just asking for compliments!

Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare Play Quote hand stamped on a Oxidized Brass Cuff Bracelet

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:54:29 -0500

$55.00
This is the first in my new Elizabethan Collection.

This 6" Adjustable Oxidized Brass Cuff Bracelet features a quotes from Act II Scene II of Romeo and Juliet.

The bracelet reads,

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy:  Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.  What's Montague? It is nor hand nor foot,  Nor arm nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O be some other name!  What's in a name? That which we call a rose  by any other word would smell as sweet;  So Romeo would...

This brass bracelet was hand cut, is 1mm thick. Easily adjustable for any size wrist. The font is all lowercase monotype script. Each letter was hand stamped then oxidized and later buffed to allow the letters to stand out. Six small hearts adorn the ends of this piece.

Although it may appear golden in hue and brightness on your screen, this brass cuff is a little darker than yellow gold. I have oxidized this piece to appear older than it is. Because of the unique color of this bracelet, it will look great with golds and silver toned metals alike.

Wonderful for the literature and typography lover alike. Would make a beautiful back to school or teachers gift.

This is my soft to 'scratchy' rating system. I understand concerns on the softness next to the sensitive skin of the neck.

2 is similar to washed jersey cotton (very nice), and
3 is similar to floating on a cloud of amazing softness (heaven).

Say what you need to say - Your choice of wording engraved stamped on a Brass Cuff Bracelet - 6 7 8 9 inch

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:26:15 -0400

$55.00
This 6" Adjustable Oxidized Brass Cuff Bracelet can be customized to say whatever your heart desires. From 1 letter to up to 300 letters (maybe even more!)

This brass bracelet was hand cut, is 1mm thick. Easily adjustable for any size wrist. Each letter will be hand stamped then oxidized and later buffed to allow the letters to stand out. Expect slight imperfections as this is all done by hand.

I can also engrave small hearts and a period (dot) that looks cool engraved in the center instead of on the 'line' of the letters.

Although it may appear golden in hue and brightness on your screen, this brass cuff is a little darker than yellow gold. I have oxidized this piece to appear older than it is. Because of the unique color of this bracelet, it will look great with golds and silver toned metals alike.

6" long, adjustable to fit any wrist
.5" tall
1mm thick
