Love this one! This is not my first purchase from HoboGirls, and I'm sure it won't be my last. This is a sweet, delicate-looking ring, and yet it's very sturdy and well-made. Sizing was perfect, and I love the texturing of the silver next to the dot of gold. I initially planned on wearing it with other stacking rings, but I really like it all by itself too. Lovely packaging (a very cute little box with a cat picture on it), and super fast shipping -- even in the middle of the holidays. Wonderful communication from Elizabeth also. Thank you so much!

Melting silver to create a drop pendant.
I love bracelets, whether they're made by me or somebody else. (In this photo, two made by Mashka, one made by me.)
Toothpaste, a soft cloth and an old toothbrush will shine silver beautifully. The acid is used to test unmarked metal.

You can't have too much jewelry . . .

That's what I always say. After all, it's not like it takes up a lot of space, right? I can't help but admire the skill, creativity, and workmanship that went into the making of a beautiful piece of jewelry. I've loved jewelry since I was a little kid.

And now I'm making jewelry! I'm very excited to present my handmade items to you. I love working with metal, and the result is so satisfying.

I still enjoy the thrill of the hunt when it comes to finding vintage treasures. My weekends are devoted to finding, cleaning, and researching old, unusual, and beautiful jewelry pieces that are found at flea markets, auctions, estate sales, salvage stores, tag sales . . . the coolest items show up in the oddest places. I especially like odd, funky, out-of-the ordinary jewelry. (But don't get me wrong: I also appreciate classic and elegant jewelry.)
