Decadent earrings that swing gracefully with each turn of the head--one part Flamenco Dancer, one part Spanish Infanta, with a dash of Moorish flavor in the ornate diamond-shaped lace...

*LACE MEDALLIONS*
The earrings feature my signature hand-made lace, created with the finest real gold threads (like those used in the opulent embroideries of the Spanish Renaissance court) and dotted with dozens of delicate vintage seed beads. In the center of the lace motif is an intricate bouquet of the tiniest crocheted flowers, ranging from cream colored silk, to ivory cotton. The flowers are adorned with freshwater pearls, and tiny gold plated beads. The center flower is constructed entirely of real gold thread and features an opalescent vintage glass pearl. The lace measures a little under 2.5" in length and 2" in width.

*DROPS*
Swinging beneath the lace is a row of 7 freshwater pearl drops, accented with pale yellow Swarovski crystal bicones, faceted quartz crystal rondelles, and hand-crocheted bead caps to compliment the lace motif. The drops are strung on 14k gold-filled headpins and attached with gold-filled jumprings.

*POSTS*
The earrings are suspended from dainty gold-filled posts, accented with sparkling faceted cz stones.

Measuring a dramatic 3.5" from the post to the bottom of the longest drop, and 2" at their widest point, the earrings are surprisingly light-weight for a design of this size...

She wears a powder blue dress embellished with an elaborate stomacher covered with dozens of ribbons in white and silver lace, while a faint smile plays across her lips...

Each flower is embellished with robin's egg blue amazonite stones and has a sparkling vintage rhinestone in the center. The large, central lace motif is further enhanced with a mixture of grey iridescent freshwater pearls, faceted quartz crystals, and a bouquet of silver edged blossoms.

Measuring a stunning 4.75" (12.1 cm) in length, the pendant ends in a freshwater pearl drop strung on sterling silver wire and accented with hand-crocheted bead caps in real silver thread. Beneath this hangs a gorgeous vintage rhinestone tear drop.

*CHAIN*

Like the pendant's drop, the pearls are embellished with hand-made lace bead caps of real silver thread, dotted with vintage seed beads, and flanked with dainty amazonite rounds. The necklace measures 16" ( 40.6 cm) in length, and gracefully drapes around the collar bone.

DUCHESSE Earrings--Edera Handmade Wedding Jewelry Collection

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 09:25:07 -0400

$209.00
Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, Duchesse de Polignac, was a favorite of Marie Antoinette's. Charming, beautiful, fashionable and witty, she immediately came to mind as I created these whimsical and opulent earrings. Imagine my surprise after completing them in coming across a painting of the real Duchesse, attired in an outfit of the very same color scheme!

*LACE MEDALLIONS*
The earrings feature my signature handmade lace, meticulously crafted with the finest real silver threads (like those used in the opulent embroideries of the Rococo era) and dotted with dozens of dainty vintage seed beads in an opalescent white, tiny apatite rounds, and small robins egg blue amazonite stones. In the center of each motif is a small rosette of silver thread adorned with a beautiful pale mauve freshwater pearl. The lace measures 1.5"(3.8cm) in length and 1.25"(3.2) in width.

*DROPS*
Swinging beneath the lace motifs are 2 dazzling A grade chalcedony briolettes in a faceted "marquise" cut. The soft blue green stones measure a stunning 21mm in length, and are topped with handmade bead caps of real silver thread. Framing the chalcedony stones are swags of sterling silver chain, interspersed with mauve freshwater pearls in the same hue as those in the lace motif. The earrings end in delicate, sparkling blue AA grade aquamarine briolettes threaded on sterling silver wire.

*EARWIRES*
The earrings are suspended from high quality sterling silver hoop earwires.
Measuring just under 4.25"(10.8cm) from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the aquamarine drop, the earrings are surprisingly light-weight for a design of this size...

*PACKAGING*
All purchases come with a complimentary gift box, green velvet pouch, and information about Edera Jewelry. Free Shipping for all US orders.

*CUSTOM*
I always love working with brides to create a custom design, matching the beads and the lace motif to compliment the bride's dress. Please convo me if interested!

Romantic and vibrant, delicately detailed yet boldly proportioned, this bracelet is one part Frida Kahlo, one part Victoriana, a little Russian folk art--and entirely eye-catching...

*FOCAL*
It features a stunningly intricate, 2" (5.1 cm) focal entirely created by the artist. In the center rests a bouquet of dainty cotton flowers, each one crocheted by hand, and adorned with tiny beads: garnets, amethysts, Swarovski crystals, coral, and vintage glass seed beads. Peeking out from behind the flowers are three crocheted leaves, veined with vintage glass bugle beads. The same bugle beads ring the bouquet.

The flowers are stitched to a base of lavender silk and burgundy cotton thread, which is applied over a flat wooden disc, and lined with a matching circle of burgundy cotton. The whole motif was then edged in a fine lace of real gold plated thread (the type used in Renaissance embroideries) and vintage seed beads. Dainty drops of aventurine, amethyst and Swarovski crystals on gold filled head pins dangle from four points of the medallion.

*CHAINS*
From either side of the central motif sprout five rows of hand-linked chains featuring faceted amethyst rondelles, coral beads, and Victorian "French jet" beads. These are connected using 14k gold-filled wire and jumprings. The rows taper into a hand-crocheted bar edged in more gold lace, and trimmed with more aventurine drops.

*CLASP*
A large, easy to fasten, gold-filled toggle clasp is attached to the bracelet with two hand-made floral links of Swarovski crystal and onyx strung on 14k gold-filled wire. The bracelet measures 7.5" (19.1cm) in length when fastened, but can be shortened or lengthened upon request.

*FINISHING*
The motif is signed by the artist with a hand-embroidered label.

SALE-DESDEMONA Necklace by EderaJewelry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dramatic as a Shakespearean performance, this romantic, one-of-a-kind necklace features a large butterfly and flower pendant entirely crocheted by hand in rich hues of lavender and amethyst. Wear this design with a plunging neckline, or over a higher one for a more casual look.

*Pendant*
The pendant is composed of two hand-crocheted elements~ the butterfly features amethyst, natural pink freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystal and the daintiest glass seed beads on the wings of silk. The butterfly's body has a large tumbled nugget of amethyst as a thorax and a beautiful faceted oval of ametrine for the head. From there, two slender antennae of vintage glass seed beads and light amethyst rondelles spread out. The butterfly wings are edged in 2% gold real metal thread and fine chips of citrine.Like real butterflies, no two Edera Jewelry butterfly motifs are the same!

Suspended beneath the pendant is a rose in muted shades of purple. In the center a vintage glass rhinestone nestles among the petals of silk thread dotted with delicate glass seed beads. The flower is edged in silver metallic cord for an interesting contrast to the gold of the butterfly motif

Dangling from the flower is a single, show-stopping drop of faceted rainbow fluorite in a rich, deep, amethyst color threaded on a 14k gold-filled headpin.

From the top of the butterfly to the bottom of the rainbow fluorite drop, the pendant measures 6" long, and 3.5" at it's widest part.

*Chain*
The meticulously hand-linked chain of 14k gold-filled wire features two more of the large faceted rainbow fluorite nuggets on either side of the butterfly and then tapers into a pattern of dark amethyst nuggets (like that on the thorax) and lighter amethyst ovals and faceted rondelles.
The chain is approximately 16" and is designed so that the graceful curves of the tops of the butterfly's wings rest just beneath the collarbone.

*Clasp*
Picking up the silver of the rose motif, the clasp is a large sterling silver toggle finished off with a large dark amethyst nugget, freshwater pearl, amethyst faceted rondelle and a Swarovski crystal bead on a 14k gold-filled headpin.

*Finishing*
Both of the crocheted motifs are backed in vintage black velvet, meticulously hand-stitched to the design. The piece is signed by the artist with a hand-embroidered label.

POIRET Butterfly Brooch by EderaJewelry

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:46:54 -0400

$250.00
A bejeweled and winged brooch inspired by the opulent textiles of the French designer Paul Poiret, whose exotic clothing designs were the talk of Paris in the 1910's and 1920's...

The brooch is entirely hand-crocheted using the finest silk and cotton threads in a sumptuous palette of sapphire, azure, lapis, midnight black and peridot. The wings are dotted with hundreds of new and vintage glass beads--including Victorian-era "French Jet" disc beads--using the tambour embroidery technique. Similar to embroidering with a crochet hook, this technique was employed by Poiret and other couture houses of the era to apply the thousands of seed beads to delicate fabrics. The wings are also adorned with lapis lazuli stones, peridot, onyx, and sparkling Swarovski crystals. The thorax of the butterfly is a dramatic faceted nugget of rainbow fluorite, flanked on either side with faceted onyx stones. The antennae are beaded with vintage seed beads and finished off with Swarovski crystals. The butterfly's wingspan is 3.5" (8.9 cm) and its body measures 3"(7.6cm) in length.

The back of the pin is lined in vintage black velvet, stitched by hand, with a silver plated, 1.5" pin back. The design is signed by the artist with a hand-embroidered label and is as one-of-a-kind as a real butterfly.
