$125.00
These earrings are definitely one of a kind, and perfect if you are looking for an incredible accessory that will be sure to start many conversations!

These earrings represent two tribal Warrior Shields which feature a pair of gorgeous 6mm Sleeping Beauty Turquoise gemstones set in Sterling Silver bezels. I have created the solid part of the sheild from pure copper and the rest is all sterling silver.

These earrings have been oxidized to bring out the details of the textured copper and give these earrings a rustic authentic tribal feel.

This pair of earrings measures just a bit over 2 inches tall.

This is a unique piece of wearable art. Enjoy!

$225.00
Catherine de Valois (Catherine of Valois) - Queen consort of England from 1420 until 1422, wife of King Henry V of England.

A stunning sterling silver bracelet, in memory of a famous 'French' Queen of England. You can read more about her here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Valois

One of the things that has always interested me are medieval times, and of course, one cannot think medieval and not think of "chainmaille" - I've been a big fan of chainmaille work for many years and I'm finally getting around to introducing some chainmaille pieces in my jewelry collection.

Today, I am introducing this new gorgeous bold chainmaille bracelet for women.

I have created this beauty with high quality thick 16 gauge sterling silver rings in the beautiful Byzantine weave, and finished it with a lovely sterling silver safety gemstone clasp which features a colorful 8 x 10mm Amethyst cabochon*.

As it is, it weighs 1.25 oz (37g) in total, including the clasp, and measures 1/4" wide x 1/4" thick x 8" long (incl. the clasp). This substantial bracelet will comfortably fit a wrist measuring up to 6 3/4" in diameter.

It is ready to ship, and comes packaged in a modern metal tin gift box, ready for giving :)

Of course, I can adjust the design to be a shorter or longer to fit your needs. Just convo me if you are not sure about the size you need.

*Note: The Amethyst clasp can be changed to another type of clasp if you prefer, like an Infinity Lobster Clasp, an S-shaped clasp, a toggle clasp, etc. -- Also, this chunky bracelet would be beautiful for a man if I change the clasp and make it longer - Just convo me for a quote on the price for a longer one for men, or if you'd prefer a different clasp.

Given the value of this piece, I have adjusted the shipping costs on this listing to include insurance within Canada and the United States. I also offer international shipping, but if you live outside the US or Canada, please convo me so that I can give you a shipping quote to your country. Thank you!

Note: To apply open-style hoops, gently grab each end with both hands, and simultaneously move one hand away from you, while you move the other hand toward you, then slide the skinny end in your ear.

You don't want to pull the ends straight apart from each other - like if you were in jail and trying to pry open the bars to escape (!) - because they will lose their shape and won't close properly.

Andana - Green Turquoise Sterling Silver Studs Post Earrings

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:21:28 -0400

$28.00
Andana - Extremely light to wear real Turquoise beauties.

I don't know about you, but although I enjoy wearing large stud earrings, most of the ones I've purchased in the past ended up to heavy to wear for long periods of time, and even with the best and biggest ear nuts at the back, the earrings tend to droop forward from their weight, like if you walk on the phone for awhile, etc...

But it won't be the case with these beauties!

I have set these gorgeous 12mm (approx. 1/2 inch) diameter light and flat green Turquoise stones in sterling silver, and oxidized them to give them a rustic look. The patina turned a lovely blueish green on them, and I left it as is. It's beautiful with the stones.

These are so light and thin that they will stay totally flat and upright on your ears. The perfect post earrings :)

Of course, like for all my other post earrings, these come with my favorite secure high quality sterling silver ear nuts.

This is a one of a kind pair, as I only had these two matched stones to make these earrings. Grab them if you like them!

$95.00
This bracelet is Made To Order... so that I can stamp anything that you want on it.

Whether you have a medical condition and would like to wear a solid sterling silver bracelet that can speak for you in case of emergency*, or if you have a favorite word or short expression that you would love to wear on your wrist, I can stamp anything that will fit in the center piece of this bracelet for you.

This beauty is my original design and totally made by myself, from scratch, using sterling silver sheet metal, which I have cut, forged, domed, textured and stamped with my own unique font.

I have added some pretty floating rings as chainmaille accents in between each section to make this beautiful fashion bracelet very sturdy and unique.

The bracelet closes securely with a lovely sturdy sterling silver infinity/figure 8 lobster clasp into a thick sterling silver ring that I have soldered shut.

If you have a medical condition, might as well flaunt it in style! :-)

This all sterling silver bracelet is made to order - so please provide the word(s) that you want me to stamp on the front of the bracelet, as well as your wrist size. Please allow for 5 business days after receipt of payment for me to make this bracelet.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*Important note/dislcaimer:

Although all emergency personnel is trained to look at necks and wrists for jewelry describing medical conditions, this is not an official bracelet, and so I highly recommend that you always carry your official medical information card in your wallet with you.

Also, for this reason, I only accept to stamp the words of medical conditions on the 'front' part of the bracelet, not on the underside. It needs to be highly visible since this is not an official medical condition bracelet.

Please understand that it is *your choice* to choose to wear a non-recognized bracelet for your medical condition and that should this bracelet get overlooked in case of an emergency, this seller is not responsible in any way.

By purchasing the bracelet in this listing, you agree not to hold the seller responsible in any way.

I apologize for the serious legal type stuff written here, but I want everything to be spelled out clearly upfront before you make this purchase.

Thank you for understanding!

** Inspiration / Story behind this Product:

I am allergic to penicillin & bananas, and I have friends with various medical and food allergies as well... and we just don't like the regular medical conditions bracelets, so I decided to design one that is much more fashion-friendly.

Rustic Runes - Fine Silver and Sterling Stud Post Earrings - Elder Futhark Runes

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:01:17 -0400

$22.00
I have designed these "Rustic Runes" earrings to really have an old rustic feel to them. Much like if you found an ancient set of Runes in an archeological dig...

These earrings are "Made To Order" (so that I can stamp the Runes of your choice).

I have created these lovely rustic studs using Fine Silver (.999), melting the metal and forging them into these pretty little nuggets, which I stamp using my special set of metal rune stamps.

These Fine Silver Rustic Runes are soldered onto Sterling Silver posts, and they come with my favorite secure high quality Sterling Silver ear nuts.

I oxidize them quite a bit and then polish them to perfection, these runic alphabet earrings are glossy, yet rustic, for a beautiful old world feel.

The size varies slightly since each Rustic Rune is made by hand, but the average size will be 7-8mm in diameter x 2mm thick.

I currently have one pair available (ready to ship):

Algiz & Opila (Pictures No. 1 & 2) - Algiz, known as the rune of protection/sheild, connection with the gods, awakening, higher life... and Opila, known as the rune of aid in spiritual and physical journeys, source of safety, increase and abundance.

Pictures No. 3 & 4 are another sample pair of what I can do for you - Fehu, known as the rune of abundance, financial strength in the present or near future, sign of hope and plenty, success and happiness... and Wunjo, known as the run of joy, comfort, pleasure, fellowship, harmony, prosperity.

I can make these earrings with ANY Elder Futhark Runes that you want. You can search online or on the site below for the meaning of each Rune, then purchase this listing here and tell me the two Runes that you would like me to stamp on your earrings in the Notes to Seller. Convo me if you have any questions - thanks!

Tatissa - Large Picture Jasper Fine Silver and Sterling Silver Rustic Necklace Pendant

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:38:20 -0400

$155.00
Tatissa... like a soft morning fog mixing up with green moss and wood deep in the forest.

I have set this lovely large soft picture jasper stone in a pure silver serrated bezel and sprinkled on a trio of rustic fine silver dots along the top edge of the sterling silver base.

This one of a kind beauty dangles from a 22" heavy gauge sterling silver cable chain, and is Ready to Ship!

I have oxidized it using Liver of Sulfur and the patina that developed on the metal was so pretty (it pulled colors of blueish green and some rustic copper tones as well as purples) that I decided to leave it intact, except for polishing off the three dots at the top, and then tumbled it for a gorgeous shine.

This makes for a very cool looking rustic necklace - you can see the special colors of the patina on the 2nd picture and the reverse side pictures in this listing. This is a one of a kind piece, sure to be treasured for years to come.

The setting measures 59 mm x 31 mm, and is stamped at the back with .925 and "ng" (my initials), and I can shorten the chain for you if 22" is too long for your taste. Just let me know in the Notes to Seller.

Large Rocks Open Hoops - Sterling Silver

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 08:58:16 -0400

$26.00
These are a spin-off from my very popular Little Rocks Studs, which have been featured on StyleList.com ---

... My Little Rocks are now coming to you in various sizes of open hoops style earrings!

I have handcrafted these 'Large Rocks' beauties from 18 gauge Sterling Silver wire.

These earrings measure 1.5 inch in diameter and are decorated with organic heat formed "Little Rocks".

As always, I put all my creations in my tumbler for several hours to further work-harden them, and to give them a fabulous shine.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Note: To apply open-style hoops, gently grab each end with both hands, and simultaneously move one hand away from you, while you move the other hand toward you, then slide the skinny end in your ear.

You don't want to pull the ends straight apart from each other - like if you were in jail and trying to pry open the bars to escape (!) - because they will lose their shape and won't close properly.

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:44:51 -0400

$186.00
Alanna - Sparkling, Unique, Eclectic Beauty...

Stunning sparkling natural Rock Crystal Quartz enhanced to a lovely Electric Neon Apatite Blue color (this is natural rock crystal quartz from Mother Earth, not glass), natural Blue Tourmaline and gorgeous chunks of Turquoise sprinkled throughout... with loads of Sterling and Fine Silver accents and large sterling chain links mixed in.

I have set this triple strand luxurious beauty on 49 strands professional jewelry wire, finished it with a pretty heart shape lobster clasp and a 2 inch thick extender chain so that you can adjust it from 19" to 21" long*

*Note: Since the beads on this necklace are chunky (the blue quartz beads measure on average 0.75" long) it makes the necklace look shorter than 19 to 21" when you wear it. It feels more like 17 to 19".

It's a bold strong solid very well built necklace that will give you years of enjoyment.

Although it is hefty, it is extremely comfortable to wear. It's wonderful and cool to the touch :)

Convo me if you have any questions.

This treasure is handmade with love, from me... to you!

Note: Given the value of this piece, I have adjusted the shipping costs on this listing to include insurance within Canada and the United States. I also offer international shipping, but if you live outside the US or Canada, please convo me so that I can give you a shipping quote to your country. Thank you!

Fire - Pure Copper Textured Bangles - Set of Five - Made To Order - SRAJD

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:24:58 -0400

$40.00
I have handcrafted these gorgeous solid Copper bangles from scratch using 16 gauge pure copper wire and added various textures to give them a great rustic look.

These bangles have been antiqued with my torch and then put in the tumbler for several hours to bring out their fiery sparkle and make them extremely sturdy.

You can wear them with some that you already own, or purchase some of my Sterling Silver Bangles to mix them together for an awesome look!

Look for various 'sets' of these listed separately in my shop. The more of these bangles on your wrist, the better! I love the light jingle-jangle noise :)

*** This listing is for a set of five (5) Copper bangles that will be custom made for you after purchase.

CUSTOM ORDERS: I would be happy to make these bangles especially for you in your specific size. You can simply purchase this listing and indicate your hand/fist size* in the Notes to Seller.

How to measure your "hand" for bangles:
******************************************************

Tuck your thumb inside your hand (as if you were going to slip on a bangle to wear it) and measure the widest spot around your hand using a string or a ribbon, and then measure the string/ribbon with a ruler.

I will make the bangles just slightly smaller than that measurement so that once you slip them on, they will stay on your wrist and not easily slip off when you move your hand.

So make sure to give me your wrist size and your 'hand' size.

Please allow for 5 business days for fabrication before I can ship it out. If you need it faster or by a specific date (for a gift or a special occasion), please convo me so that we can work out the details first.

I have added 4 authentic 11mm vintage (Article 371) Swarovski crystals with Aurora Borealis (AB) finish.

These vintage Swarovski crystals are from well over 30 years ago, they are new, unused. The new(er) style of this crystal (No. 5007) is actually also a vintage crystal, but the ones that I used to make this necklace are the original Article 371 (over 30 years old), and believe me when I say that the camera cannot even begin to capture their stunning beauty!

On top of all these beautiful gems, I have loaded this necklace with all sorts of gorgeous 22kt Vermeil Gold accents throughout, and added a romantic delicate heart shaped 22kt Vermeil Gold toggle clasp.

This necklace is truly fit for a Covergirl!

This is a unique piece, one that will give you years of enjoyment!

Length of necklace: 19 inches, and like all of my beaded jewelry pieces, it is set on 49 strand professional jewelry wire.

Size of Brazilian Druzy Pendant: 19.64mm x 42.25mm, weight: 62.55 carats.

Convo me if you have any questions.

This treasure is handmade with love, from me... to you!

Note: Given the value of this piece, I have adjusted the shipping costs on this listing to include insurance within Canada and the United States. I also offer international shipping, but if you live outside the US or Canada, please convo me so that I can give you a shipping quote to your country. Thank you!

Siriann... soft and feminine, unique and beautiful

From the top of the bail to the far end, this beauty measures 1.5 inches long, and hangs cheerfully on an adjustable 18 to 20 inch sterling silver chain. You can hook up the lobster clasp anywhere along the extender section to adjust where your pendant will fall, depending on what you are wearing.

The maximum length on this chain is 20 inches, and at the very end of the chain, you will find some sparkling Labradorite stones as well as my authentic 'CRA' (Canadian Rockies Art) sterling silver oval charm.

This treasure is handmade with love, from me... to you!

Fire - Pure Copper Textured Bangle - Made To Order - SRAJD

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:23:56 -0400

$10.00
I have handcrafted this gorgeous solid Copper bangle from scratch using 16 gauge pure copper wire and added various textures to give it a great rustic look.

This bangle has been antiqued with my torch and then put in the tumbler for several hours to bring out its fiery sparkle and make it extremely sturdy.

You can wear it with some that you already own, or purchase some of my Sterling Silver Bangles to mix them together for an awesome look!

Look for various 'sets' of these listed separately in my shop. The more of these bangles on your wrist, the better! I love the light jingle-jangle noise :)

*** This listing is for one (1) single Copper bangle that will be custom made for you after purchase -- The last picture is to show you how these look when stacked together.

CUSTOM ORDERS: I would be happy to make this bangle especially for you in your specific size. You can simply purchase this listing and indicate your hand/fist size* in the Notes to Seller.

How to measure your "hand" for bangles:
******************************************************

Tuck your thumb inside your hand (as if you were going to slip on a bangle to wear it) and measure the widest spot around your hand using a string or a ribbon, and then measure the string/ribbon with a ruler.

I will make the bangles just slightly smaller than that measurement so that once you slip them on, they will stay on your wrist and not easily slip off when you move your hand.

So make sure to give me your wrist size, and your 'hand' size.

Please allow for 5 business days for fabrication before I can ship it out. If you need it faster or by a specific date (for a gift or a special occasion), please convo me so that we can work out the details first.

$27.00
Handcrafted and cold-forged by me from 18 gauge** sterling silver wire, these beauties are a must have!

These earrings are in 'bright' Sterling Silver. I have formed some delicate textured facets with my hammer all along the exterior of these hoops so that they catch the light and shimmer when you wear them. I then put them in my trusty tumbler for several hours to get a fabulous shine.

These beauties measure 1 1/4" in diameter.

** OPTION: If you would like these hoops made in 20 gauge wire instead (regular/commercial size earrings), just let me know in the notes to seller. The earrings pictured in this listing are the thicker "18 gauge" wire and that will be automatically sent out UNLESS you tell me that you want 20 gauge in the notes to seller during the checkout.

If the holes in your ears aren't stretched out at all, then go with the commercial "20 gauge".

Red Coral Double Sterling Silver Ring - Size 7 - Ready To Ship

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:03:29 -0400

$45.00
This is definitely a one of a kind creation :)

I was inspired to make this ring design by the lovely 6mm Red Coral (dyed) cabochon. Its rich color reminded me of Asia and I thought it would be cool to have a ring that can be worn in two different ways.

On one side you have the red coral stone, and on the other, you have what could be the shape of a snake's body swirling and sliding around behind the 'scene'.

Wear either side up, just for fun. It makes a great conversation piece!

This ring is a size 7 US/Canada and is oxidized to bring out the rustic details. It measures 8mm wide.

This is a one of a kind design that I will not repeat. If this is your ring size, you're in luck! :)

Medium Rocks Open Hoops - Sterling Silver

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:53:02 -0400

$24.00
These are a spin-off from my very popular Little Rocks Studs, which have been featured on StyleList.com ---

... My Little Rocks are now coming to you in various sizes of open hoops style earrings!

I have handcrafted these 'Medium Rocks' beauties from 18 gauge Sterling Silver wire.

These earrings measure 1 inch in diameter and are decorated with organic heat formed "Little Rocks".

As always, I put all my creations in my tumbler for several hours to further work-harden them, and to give them a fabulous shine.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Note: To apply open-style hoops, gently grab each end with both hands, and simultaneously move one hand away from you, while you move the other hand toward you, then slide the skinny end in your ear.

You don't want to pull the ends straight apart from each other - like if you were in jail and trying to pry open the bars to escape (!) - because they will lose their shape and won't close properly.

Blue Starfish - Sterling Silver and Fine Silver Antiqued Sea Star Pendant Necklace - Sapphires Topaz Rock Crystal and Pearl

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:55:27 -0400

$289.00
The sun is shining and I've been on an ocean kick this past week, remembering all the wonderful times I've had at the beach throughout my life so far...

Instead of going on a beach vacation, I decided to bring the beach to me by creating this lovely blue starfish :)

I designed, fused, forged and shaped the sea star shape in fine silver, and then, using several yards of hair fine sterling silver wire, I wrapped a whooping 112 natural blue shaded sapphires, along with some small sterling silver beads to mimic the shape and texture of this quiet sea creature.

The beautiful gradation of colors from dark blue to very light blue jeans brings wonderful memories of past vacations.

But of course, this beauty could not just sit there by itself, so I added in a trio of dangling charms near the bail (a gorgeous top quality blue topaz briolette, a natural - real - clear rock crystal, and a natural soft white freshwater pearl).

From the top of the bail to the far end, she measures 2.5 inches long, and hangs cheerfully on an adjustable sterling silver chain. You can hook up my handmade hook clasp anywhere along the chain to adjust where your starfish will fall, depending on what you are wearing.

The maximum length on this chain is 19 inches, and at the very end of the chain, you will find a couple of pretty mid-shade blue sapphires, as well as another lovely blue topaz gemstone.

The last picture shows you the back - this is a solid, nice and tidy pendant. It took me many hours of careful work to create this starfish.

This unique treasure is handmade with love, from me... to you!

Note: Given the value of this piece, I have adjusted the shipping costs on this listing to include insurance within Canada and the United States. I also offer international shipping, but if you live outside the US or Canada, please convo me so that I can give you a shipping quote to your country. Thank you!

Iziel... Light and elegant, fabulous crisp white freshwater pearl earrings for all occasions!

These pretty button pearls are dangling from one of my pairs of handmade open marquise swirly wire earrings, made from 18 gauge sterling silver.

I can oxidize them for you, just indicate this in the notes to seller upon checkout. Otherwise, the bright silver finish (as pictured) will be shipped.

These beauties measure 1.5 inches long, and you can remove the pearl to wear the wire earring portion on its own.

Look in my "Hoops Charms" shop section for separate gemstone charms and dangles that you can purchase separately to totally change the look of these earrings! (see the last picture for examples).

Psst... Would you prefer Swarovski pearls instead of real pearls? No problem - I have Swarovski Pearls in many size and colors - Just convo me :-)
