Welcome!
Shop donation items--ONE year later:
http://emeraldcut.blogspot.com/2012/03/one-year-later-japan-earthquake-and.html
Introspective collection of quality wire-wrapped jewelry, moody photography, vintage jewelry, and unique paper goods made of recycled materials. I create and sell mainly pendants, so you can REUSE your favorite necklace chains.
My wire-wrapped jewelry is designed for wearability and versatility, and each piece is carefully handcrafted by me in a workspace shared by my husband and I. Most are of limited edition, as I focus on the piece's unique characteristics rather than on mass production. Each EmeraldCut piece will arrive thoughtfully gift wrapped. Items are now shipped out on Fridays.
*** IMPORTANT--read my POLICIES page prior to purchase:

DONATIONS:
It's been ONE YEAR since the devastating Japan earthquake and tsunami. All proceeds of HELP JAPAN pendants and 50% of the collage price will be donated upon purchase--excluding shipping--to GlobalGiving's Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund ( http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/japan-earthquake-tsunami-relief/ ). As of 5/18/12, I've donated $51; thank you for your support!
NIOBIUM EAR WIRES:
Perfect for those with sensitive ears and metal sensitivities. Niobium is a gunmetal gray-colored, naturally-occurring hypoallergenic metal. I highly recommend niobium for those who cannot wear sterling silver ear wires--I wear them, myself.

THE PROCESS:
Each stone has a story, in addition to its own unique look. Most of my work is created from materials bought from other Etsy sellers or brick and mortar shops, and my collages are created from magazine images that I've collected over the years. All BRASS components in my shop are LEAD-FREE and NICKEL-FREE (except for vintage brass jewelry); most are made in the USA. I also reuse packing material to ship, and purchase US-made mailers for shipping.
In case you are wondering, the writing in my images is from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre--my favorite book!

NAMESAKE INSPIRATION:
My shop's name came about when I was bored one sunny day and decided to stare into the facets of my engagement ring. What I saw was a radiant, visual inspiration: flashes of light are captured ever so vividly in the facets of an emerald cut stone--which reflects the beauty that is oftentimes easily overlooked in this fast-paced world.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my Shop Announcement and Policies page! Feel free to convo me if you have further questions.
