Colors galore...

I made this necklace from glass, quartz and a beautiful citrine wire wrapped pendant back in April, I put it away in my case and waited for my first Market day...it sold early in the day to a very excited lady...

She had me remove the toggle, then add 6 inches of sterling silver chain so the necklace could be worn short or long...a truly versatile necklace to be worn with almost any color/style, dress it up or down!

I'm going to be doing some consignment...I've always stayed away from consignment in the past, there are a couple of reasons but the main reason being, I'm not there to make sure the piece fits properly...or make any necessary adjustments. This necklace is the perfect example...if I wasn't there to adjust the piece the customer would have gone home without her necklace!

I feel things work the way they do for a reason...maybe it is time?

Enjoy the day
Cheers

Recycled silver again

These two pieces were done a while ago but I hadn't taken the time to photograph them...I'm not happy with the lighting here so I put off taking pictures...won't be long now before I move...the end of June, hopefully the lighting will be better suited to taking photos!

As you can see this was four pieces of scrap silver that I soldered together with a horse shoe bail...sort of...if you look closely that is what it looks like?

This was a piece of silver left over from something else that was cut out and I liked the shape so I punched two holes in it and soldered on all kinds of little scrap pieces...fun to do!

Enjoy the rest of your day...
Cheers

New pieces for a New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season...

I'm working on my next birthstone the Garnet...should be up in a day or so, but in the mean time here is a little something to look at!

This is a pyrite stone (fool's gold) wire wrapped with Argentium silver...this makes for a great conversation piece!!

I love these cuffs...simple and elegant on their own but put a couple together and they certainly make a statement!! This one is narrow, approximately a 5mm wide piece of sterling silver has a nice ridged detail on both edges, the center feature is stamped with an .S. feature...cut, stamped, sanded, polished and tumbled by me!

Now this cuff makes a "wide" statement...a 28mm wide piece of Argentium silver has been hammered, sanded, polished, shaped and tumbled...love this one!!


This simple ring was made from sterling silver, a base ring was made and the remaining silver was then wound around it...

This is a great necklace...simplicity at its best, you can dress it up or down...your choice! This "bean" shaped sterling silver bead is approximately 16mm wide and of course hanging from a sterling silver chain!

As you can see, for the time being I seem to be leaning towards simplicity...classy but not stuffy, allowing the piece to speak for itself!! Who knows what I'll do tomorrow or the next day???

Cheers

A give away!

I've gotten behind in my posting but the good news is my last big show for the season is over so I will have time to work on updating my blog, Etsy store and my web site. I know, I know, you've heard it all before!!!!!

I have the best intentions...but...I seem to get side tracked along the way as there is so much to learn and do.

My 1st Anniversary for my Etsy store is November 19th and I'm having a give away, no purchase necessary, for a sterling silver stamped pendant, stamped with names, initials, a short saying, or hammered ... the winners preference. To enter leave a comment after this post or convo me at my Etsy store from November 16th to November 23 telling me what you would like stamped if you win the prize. Something similiar to the pendant below either on a black leather cord or a sterling silver chain again your choice ...the draw will take place on Monday, November 24th. (I managed to get my dates mixed up...it should be November 24th not the 23rd)


I'm also offering "free" shipping in my Etsy store from November 15th to November 30th for the Christmas rush...remember if you don't see what you are looking for convo me...I love custom orders!!!

I will finish the "Birthstone of the Month" series, October and November to be up soon... I've become interested in another aspect of stones... their healing properties, which I find absolutely fascinating. I will be incorporating this information into my blog soon!

I'll be posting again shortly... :0)
Cheers
