    I now offer non-anodized and hypoallergenic niobium french style ear wires for most earring designs. Please request when ordering. Niobium is 99.99% pure. It does not react to skin chemistry, and will never corrode or tarnish. It is the safest metal for allergy sufferers to wear.

    My shop is about creating one of-a-kind pieces that are modern, earthy and sometimes a little bohemian. Its about earthy, organic style jewelry that can be worn everyday.

    Making handmade jewelry started as a hobby and turned into a passion of mine. The ability to create with my hands and turn plain wire into something visually much more interesting is something I value greatly. A "muse", by definition, is a person who serves as an artist's inspiration. The creations seen on these pages are born from my own muse-mine happens to be very nice to me and she sends me a constant stream of ideas! I focus on color and form in much of my work and how it "all flows". I enjoy hand forging most of my metalwork and occasionally use very special and unique findings-adding more diversity to the designs I can create. I am grateful for the ability to see these visual ideas "pop into my head" and turn them into real items that I can share. Made in Steamboat Springs, CO USA.

    What does My Muse Jewelry choose Argentium Silver?
    Argentium silver 935 is a modern sterling silver alloy, containing 93.5% silver, in which the traditional alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) is modified by removing some of the copper and adding the metalloid germanium.
    Benefits:
    -Firescale elimination
    - High tarnish resistance
    -Precipitation hardening and simple heat-hardening properties
    - Increased ductility
    - Increased thermal and electrical resistance (making alloys suitable for welding and laser forming)
    -Environmental advantages (associated with not having to remove or plate over firescale)

    SHIPPING:
    My Muse Jewelry will try to ship in-stock items within 2 days of payment. All jewelry will be shipped inside a kraft brown jewelry box and I put a nice ribbon on each one. I ship USPS First Class 2-5 day delivery for regular shipping. Larger orders may take longer.

    Hand Made Jewelry inspired by My Muse

    I have been, and still am on most days, a graphic designer. After many years of working in 2 dimensions I felt a nagging to be more creative, to be more spirited and spiritual with the work I do. In the midst of hectic family life, the organized chaos of raising teenagers I began to escape for "jewelry creation" in the evenings. It's a habit that formed and one that I do daily because it is what I love to do.

    I love metal smithing, beading, working with color and texture, creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, much like some family members in generations past. My "day job" as a graphic designer helps keep my ideas flowing and making handmade jewelry allows me the creative freedom that most artists crave. I like to believe that we all have a creative Muse, one who helps us through our creative blocks and gives us a burst of creative energy when we need it most. The opportunity to create for ourselves and for others is a gift.

    I enjoy incorporating lots of color into my work and working with fusing wire and wire wrapping and metalsmithing. I have a love relationship with all kinds of beads and silver and cannot resist colorful gemstones. In my work I try to combine different elements to design jewelry that can be fun to wear as well as comfortable to wear. Form, function and aesthetic all have to work together.
    I appreciate your visit to my shop and hope that you see something that may inspire you.

    Frequently asked questions
    Custom and personalized orders

    Custom orders are always welcome. Whether its a different size, different metal or a special gemstone, I am happy to help. I also offer hand stamping for personalization. Send me a convo and I can answer any questions you may have and let you know the possibilities.

    Gift wrapping and packaging

    Each piece of jewelry is packaged in a kraft brown or white box with a ribbon and tag.

    Wholesale availability

    I am happy to discuss selling my work wholesale to gift shops and retail stores. Please contact me for minimum order and pricing information. My my email is mm@mymusejewelry.com

    Sizing details

    My handmade jewelry is made one piece at a time so there may be slight variations in size and color even when you purchase a set of two or more pieces.

    Care instructions

    While all jewelry is fragile and breakable, I strive hard to make jewelry that stands the test of time. I take pride in the craftsmanship I put into each piece. Getting jewelry wet, wearing it in pools or hot tubs and sleeping with jewelry on is not recommended.

    For silver polishing I recommend using a Sunshine Cloth and rubbing gently along the silver. Please contact me if you would like to purchase one of these from my store. Supermarkets now have non-toxic silver polish that you can use as well. I recommend "Penny Brite" brand copper cleaner for all copper and bronze jewelry that does not have a patina finish or gloss coat.
