$40.00
"We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another" -- Luciano de Crescenzo

Beautiful polished blue lace agate with crystal and druzy center is sewn with wire to silver wire and copper. Blue lace agate has been traditionally been thought of as a stone that will help you reach spiritual places through patience and peace. It is associated with hope, unity, protection, positive thinking, joy and truth. Wearing it will also promote your personal calm and peace.

This necklace is another of my Merit Badges series. The shape of the agate reminds me of one wing.

The Badge is 1 5/8" long (4.5 cm) to the tip of the wire and is about 3/4" wide (1.8 cm). Sterling silver chain and S hook closure is just over 18" (45.5 cm) long.

all purchases will arrive in an organza bag to protect your jewelry during travel and storage.

Citrus

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 07:43:48 -0500

$30.00
Copper pieces with decorative eyelets, painted in shades of orange, covered with resin and connected with citrine nugget dangles. Definitely One Of A Kind! Citrus began because I liked the shapes of some of my metal scraps, and I decided that I should recycle by doing more than melting the copper. Acrylic paint and resin were used to add the color and shine. The citrine nuggets add a great sparkle. One eyelet rivet is orange, one is purple and one is copper. The pieces are wire wrapped together with copper wire and onto copper chain. The necklace fastens with a copper "s" hook and loop and the total length is 18". The chain is coated so it shouldn't cause many skin reactions, or turn your skin odd colors.

-- "Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." --Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Lovely green chalcedony tear drop shaped stone hangs from a fused and forged sterling silver ring. Beautifully elegant and simple. A great necklace for a suit, a sundress or jeans and a tee shirt.
I fused and forged the silver circle/ring, and it is about 1 and 1/8 inches in diameter; with the chalcedony, the pendant is 1.5" long. It's shown on olive green leather that is 21.5" long. For a slight additional charge it can be put on sterling silver chain--just convo me with how long you'd like the chain to be.
There is beauty in imperfection.

Wet -- watermelon tourmaline riveted to copper

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:00:36 -0400

$32.00
This heat stained copper disc has a rainbow of colors (kind of like oil on a wet road). This result is sometimes called "peacock". It was created by hitting the copper disc with the torch flame and stopping at the right time. No two will be the same! I loved the different colors and the faceted watermelon tourmaline bead adds the right touch of pinks and greens.
All metal work and riveting was done by me. Copper disc is .75" (2.3 cm) and hangs on a 18.25" (46.4 cm) sterling silver chain. Tourmaline bead was riveted to the copper with sterling silver wire and has some dark green tones along with the dark pink.
