Opened 11/1/11! Unusual and unique wearable art jewelry, specializing in BIG, BOLD, and FUNKY nature-inspired statement necklaces and costume jewelry for succulent women who aren't afraid to be noticed!
I also offer custom work using pet or people cremains -- a way for you to memorialize your loved one (please see below for details). I put hours of love, and meticulous attention to detail, into each and every necklace; you can rest assured that your purchase will represent the only one of its kind on the planet. You'll note that each necklace is titled -- a reflection of its singularity as a piece of wearable art.
My jewelry is elegantly refined, but creative and sassy. I use a lot of organic elements, but I also like to sprinkle everything with a healthy dollop of sparkle and shine. This is jewelry for the elegant bohemian -- the majestically earthy -- the confident and effervescent woman with a flair for the dramatic, who has a distinct air of regal sophistication. You'll also notice a lot of asymmetry in my work, as I seem to be enamored of the notion of things that are "perfectly broken."
~~~A general note: I should note that while my jewelry IS, in fact, HUGE, it looks even more so pictures where it's on the "life-sized" body form. The body form is a size 0-2 petite, so the large jewelry looks a little exaggerated on her. ~~~
If you like my style, but don't see quite the right thing to suit your need(s), contact me, and we can talk about a custom order.
If you'd like a longer or shorter cord on an existing necklace (many of my pendants would look great as chokers!) -- let me know -- in most cases, I can make the adjustment for no extra charge if you request it BEFORE I send it. The extra schlepping involved in making adjustments after the fact will likely incur some sort of nominal fee. Also, if you see a sold item that you covet, I can check my supplies and tell you the likelihood of being able to replicate a close approximation of it. Each piece is truly one of a kind, so no two pieces will EVER be the same.
I also offer "memory" pieces -- you can send me natural elements and/or small objects from a place that's meaningful to you, and I will create a necklace/wall hanging/ornament using them. I can work with pretty much anything you can think of (with the possible exception of minivans, major household appliances, and pterodactyls). These can be objects from a favorite vacation spot, your childhood home, the park where you met your beloved, the beach where you got married, the spot where you were standing when you had a life-altering epiphany...you name it!
***People interested in custom work involving pet or people cremains*****
I accept commissions for memorial pieces, whether they be jewelry, small decorative wall hangings, holiday tree ornaments, etc. I can work human or pet cremains into clay design elements -- either embedded into the clay, or left visible on top of the clay. If you have a meaningful small object that you'd also like worked into the design, I will gladly do that, as well.
Please see my store section "Sample Cremain Elements" for more information.
Thanks for perusing my wares...I hope you'll find the perfect gilding from my gewgaw garden...
NOTE: I would like to state for the record that I'm not illiterate, as the lack of punctuation in my item titles would indicate. We have to do some strange things here on Etsy to feed into searches, and forgoing punctuation is one of them.
Another note: I make costume/fashion jewelry. When I use terms like "gold" and "silver," we're talking gold and silver *colored*. Mama doesn't play with gen-U-ine gold and silver. Life is too short to waste money on "real" metals and gems...when you can get so much more fabulous bang for your buck from quality costume jewelry! Well, that's MY take on it, anyway...I won't judge you harshly if you prefer "real" jewelry. :]
