Woodland Amulet

Fairy made...

Well, not really... This copper and sterling necklace is created by me using not so modern techniques. The copper is cut, folded, ruffled and heated to give it shape and patina. I have added a baroque pearl center to the flower and a companion stick pearl accented with garnets and the smallest of sapphires.
The leather strap uses a Bali bead as the adjusting slide and also features a marcasite bead and other Bali silver findings. The necklace extends to 32 inches long with the pendant hanging an additional 2 inches below the leather.

Copper and Sterling Earrings

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:12:48 -0400

$23.00
Easy everyday earrings that will be your favorite accessory for jeans and a tee! I cut copper disc and punch a hole in them, heat them until the surface is fluid, sprinkle on some silver filings and quench in water! The patina is different every time, but always very interesting. These earrings a very lightweight and about 1 3/4 inches long. I strive to bring out some of the red in the copper and wax them to seal the patina.

Overtime patina's do change... I personally don't mind this. While the wax will protect the patina for now... it will eventually wear off...

These bangles will look great on any cow-girl or city-girl!

Three oval bangles created from mid-gauge sterling wire that have been soldered, hammered into shape, textured and then given a patina. These are medium sized and there is some difference in their shapes and sizes which gives them a more organic look!

Orbit Wrap around Ring

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 09:27:07 -0400

$45.00
Another in a series of rings...
that wind around themselves!

This ring is about 1/2 inch at the widest and is accented with a larger silver ball and two smaller balls that (to me) seem to orbit the larger one... One of the smaller balls is copper. This ring has a hammered and oxidized finish and is a size 7 1/4.

If you would like a ring similar to this in a different size just let me know your ring size at the time of purchase in the buyers comments.
