Health, Wealth, and Prosperity

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:25:48 -0500

$45.00
Five carved malachite beads circle around this graceful necklace in an allusion to the five good fortunes of Chinese belief. Carved into the beads is the symbol for longevity, the most sought-after of the fortunes. The color red (present in 60 beautiful burgundy garnets), is believed to ward off evil, while the number 60 itself is believed to bring prosperity.

The gorgeous filigree box clasp features a sparkling Cubic Zirconia accent. All metals (beads, findings, clasp) are 14kt gold-filled – a stronger, more durable metal than pure 24kt gold. Necklace is double strung with two 8 pound nylon cords for extra resilience.

This necklace comes with a matching pair of carved malachite earrings. The cute 10mm balls dangle from 4mm gold-filled ball posts.

Navigational Gear Contraption

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:59:08 -0500

$30.00
More than 30 gears, screws, hands, needles, crystals, and other vintage watch parts have been collaged together in this 1 ¾ inch pendant. The different shapes, sizes, and textures merge together into a beautifully busy pattern.

This is a fun, messy piece. The large brass base has dings and scratches. The gears have natural patinas, and little bits of glue seep from under components. All the parts tell about their past lives.

The brass chain is 20 inches long with a 2 inch extender chain.

Watch parts are very delicate by nature. Little gears and crystals are easy to damage or break. Take care with your Steampunk jewelry to make it last as long as possible! See my Policies section for cleaning and care suggestions.

French Baroque Pendulum

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:34:26 -0400

$32.00
The shapes and colors in this necklace remind me very much of the early desktop pendulum clocks in France. Exceedingly elaborate and detailed, these beautiful clocks told time as their adornments paid homage to it.

This beautifully engraved vintage watch movement is snugly cradled in a brass setting and adorned with filigree decorations. Dangling below the watch on a filigree drop is a beautiful faux pearl.

The pendant measures 1½ wide by 3¼ long. The chain is 18 inches long and 1/8 inch wide.

Victorian Dragonsbreath

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:17:25 -0400

$34.00
This elegant design consists of brass and silver plated filigrees cast from replica Victorian dies. The graceful silver arch measures 3 inches across by an inch wide and is actually five pieces connected with jump rings. As opposed to a single awkward, large filigree which never seems to sit quite right, this design allows the metal to flow with the wearer’s movements and comfortably conform to contours.

On top of the unique silver base are three antiqued brass settings with glass gemstones. In the center is a 13mm Dragonsbreath stone (also known as a Glass Fire Opal or Mexican Opal). This beautiful red stone is shot through with flashes fiery blue. On either side of the Dragonsbreath is a 5mm pearl. Connecting the centerpiece to the chains are golden glass pearls cradled in fancy brass cones.

The necklace measures 17.5 inches long and has a ½ inch wide rollo chain.

Chalcedony Twist

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:37:43 -0400

$32.00
This sterling silver and chalcedony gemstone necklace goes equally well with jeans or a wedding dress.

Six inches of sterling silver wire was wound around the top of a 1 inch Chalcedony drop, then twisted and swirled back up for added texture and visual interest. The twist theme was carried further with the addition of a ½ inch twisted sterling circle and softly textured chain. All the silver was gently oxidized then lightly polished to enhance each piece’s texture.

The Chalcedony itself is a very soft blue, the color of faded denim or a pale ocean. One side of the drop is creamy-clear blue; the other is speckled with faint navy spots (best seen in the very last photo).

The textured chain is 18 inches long and all metals are sterling silver. The total length of the pendant is 1 ¾ inches, and its width is a little less than half an inch.
