Wirewrapped Ring and Bracelet

I was playing with wire and made the ring first and then the bracelet. This is wire weaving. They were time consuming but fun.

Pendant Amber Carved Honeycomb in Sterling Silver

$225.00

You will own the only one this one won't be duplicated. Amber carved into a Honeycomb flatback cab. I dreamed this pendant, usually I say her but this one can be worn by a man or woman. I had the amber for two years before I made this pendant. The amber was sent to me by a metalsmith friend of mine who admires my work. We trade stones and amber to see what the other will do with them. I think he will be pleased with this pretty. It ships with a chain so it can be worn out of the box.

This the only one there is.

Pendant in 18 gage Sterling Silver sculpture is;

Length: 2 in. 5.08 cm

A sterling silver 20 inch chain with lobster is included so it can be worn on receipt. If you want a different length chain just put it in the comments to seller at check out.

 

Playing With Copper: Cowrie Shell Ear Spears

I love all things Cowrie Shell. One writer/researcher has stated,"Though out history the cowrie shell has been viewed as the "Divine Vulva" the ultimate symbol of womanhood. I guess that;s why in western African you had to provide so many cowries shells as a bride price. The cowrie was also used as the first money in this same area. Here in Scottsdale Arizona, I was surprised to see it used as embroidery on an ancient native American robe. I asked the lady wearing it how they came to have it. she smiled and stated, We traded with them for the shells."


I did the cowrie shells as my version of ear spears. I also do them in sterling silver. The copper is a round 18gage wire. Most ear wires are 24-28 gage. So if you want a pair and have tiny holes I can make them in a thinner wire.

As always you can click on the title to purchase.

Have a great day.

Another Gemstone from My Stash Mexican Boulder Opal

This is another one of my long held stones from my private stash. This was sold to me as Mexican Boulder Opal. I fell in love with the blue zigzag down the middle. This stone is slightly larger than the Dragon's Blood. The Opal is about 7/8" wide by 1 1/2 inches long.

This one will make its debut next week.
