Gothic Cross Choker Necklace - Transformation




This piece is a true vampire of a necklace! Just wait till you see it in person! All of the crystals on this cross appear black in a dark room or at night, but turn it in the right light or wear it out in the sun and the middle crystal transforms before your eyes into a stunning purple!!
The stunning pewter cross hangs from a hand braided satin cord, with a silverplate lobster claw and extension chain, even a little Swarovski surprise at the end of the chain!!
The cross itself measures just shy of 2 inches (4.5cm) long and wide. The necklace itself is 15.5 inches (34.88cm) and extends to 18.5 inches (41.63cm), but I will happily make it longer or shorter for you if you like!
You can find this little lovely in my shop - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33267472

The Countess - My newest favorite necklace

Okay, first, I have to say I am in LOVE with this necklace!!! It's pretty simple, but it's sooooooo me! I love, love, love the brass filigree stamping that I purchased and customized a bit, I love the way I ended up hanging the briolettes, as they just didn't look right with a normal old wrap. I love the way it looks on too! Good thing I have supplies to make more of these, as I have claimed this one as mine, and I've made another one for my shop.

It's all brass, with faceted grey glass drops and little black Swarovski in the chain to match. Thanks for looking!!

A Night At The Opera - the Earrings

What do you picture when you think about going to the opera? No, no, no. I don't mean being bored and falling asleep. lol! When I think about going to the opera, I think about getting dressed up in the fanciest dress I can find, getting my hair done into an upsweep at the salon, and finding some glamorous, stunningly gorgeous jewelry to make the whole look really pop.

These earrings are definately that type of jewelry. The brass filigree looks drop dead gorgeous with the peridot Swarovski crystals and with every little movement you make, you get a new bit of sparkle.

Not only could you pair this up with a fancy dress, though, you could wear these earrings to dress up just about any outfit, even jeans and a t-shirt!

These earrings are 2.25 inches (5.06cm) long from the top of the oxidized sterling silver ear wires and are 1 inch (2.25cm) wide at the widest point.

These earrings are available for sale here -

A Trip To Nantucket - Victorian Style Blue Chalcedony and Sterling Silver Necklace

Elizabeth was nervous and she could feel it. She and James had been to Martha's Vineyard together a couple of times already. They had even pulled off quite a ruse both times. There was a religious gathering in Oak Bluffs in the summertime, one that they both enjoyed attending and had made some good friends while there. However, it was a tight community. The tent plots and new houses sprouting in their places were literally only a few feet apart from each other, and, being a religious community, an unmarried couple rooming together was heavily frowned upon. So in order to pass unnoticed, they pretended to be married, though neither of them were in any hurry to be wed. She could do this without batting an eye, yet this time was different.

This time was different indeed. This time they not only would be spending time on the Vineyard, but they would also be "island hopping" and catching the steam ferry over to Nantucket, for the expressed reason of spending time at the estate belonging to James' family. In fact, his parents would even be summering there.

This summer would require a performance unlike any that had come before. The parents would not be so easy to pacify as the folks in Oak Bluffs. They would be scrutinizing her like a bug under a microscope. And though she had the attire of a fine lady, and had the act down pretty well, there was no fully hiding the person she was inside, the one with the questionable upbringing.

There was a knock on the door. The carriage driver had arrived to pick her up. Like it or not, the time had come. She took a deep breath, adjusted her necklace and fastened the last buckle on her steam trunk. It was going to be a long summer indeed. **************************************************

The Trip to Nantucket necklace will impress even the most critical of parents with it's elegance and beauty and anybody else for that matter. It is so dramatic and stunning, yet simple and classicall at once. It is composed of big, gorgeous blue chalcedony beads, which are framed by the most incredible looking "big leaf" silver plated bead caps. All of this hangs from a delicate sterling silver chain, sterling silver lobster clasp and a sterling silver extension chain, all of which has been heavily oxidized for a dramatic look and the beauty of age. There is also a pretty little blue Swarovski crystal at the end of the extension chain.

This neckalce is 18 inches (40.50cm) long and extends to 21 inches (47.25cm).

In the Presence Of Royalty - the Bracelet and the Earrings

There are some things in life that just make a person feel so regal, just like royalty. This bracelet will definately be one of those possessions.

These are an absolutely gorgeous piece of wearable art. The baroque style earrings and bracelet are entirely handcrafted from scratch. They are made from beautiful faceted Rhodocrosite beads, which look quite purplish next to the sterling silver, which I heavily oxidized to give it depth and the beauty of age. The sterling silver links are wire wrapped, but I've also soldered them under those wraps for extra strength. The earrings hang from silver plated chains, which in turn hang from oxidized sterling silver ear wires.The earrings are 2.75 inches (6.19cm) long from the top of the ear wire and are 1 inch (2.25cm) wide at the widest point. The bracelet is 7.5 inches (16.88cm) long and 1 inch (2.25cm) wide.

If you are interested in the 2 pieces as a set, please send me a convo - I'd be happy to work with you on a discounted price for the set!!Your earrings will come in a free gift box tied with a pretty satin bow.

You can find the two for sale here - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21671564 and here - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21709468

Mermaid's Tale

There is a lot of history behind this stunning necklace!



The pendant is made from 3 pieces of sea glass (including some rare blue) which I found on the beach on Martha's Vineyard in Cape Cod over nine years ago. Most of the sea glass found out there is from antique bottles and such. You can almost picture the perfume bottle or medicine bottle from which these might have come.



All these years later I finally have the tools to drill and mount the pieces. They are artistically hung from sterling silver bails, which hang from exquisitly dainty sterling silver chain, which is interupted every so often with gorgeous little blue chalcedony faceted rondelles.

This is a completely one-of-a-kind piece. I never have and never will make another one exactly like it, and you will be wearing an incredible amount of history as well!!

The necklace measures 17 inches (42.5cm) and adjusts up to 20 inches (50cm) and the pendant hangs at 2.25 inches (5.5cm) long and about .75 inches (2cm) wide.

This necklace can be purchased here - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6807642

Girly

Growing up, I was a total tomboy. I caught snakes and climbed trees and rode horses. I was never into icky girly stuff. As I grew older, however, I found I really started liking pretty things, and clothes and shoes and even found I could stand pink!!

Now, I would totally sport this necklace in a second! That's why I made one for myself too!

This necklace is made from sterling silver chain, even the extension chain, even the lobster claw clasp and the wire wrappings and head pins are sterling silver. The stone is the most lucsious cotton candy pink chalcedony I've ever seen, and the pearls are the prettiest little white button pearls. It is very girly indeed!

It measures 17 inches (38.25mm) long and extends to 21 inches (47.25mm)

It is available for sale here - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20174261
