Light Mint Opal Czech faceted Glass Rondelle beads topped with Antiqued Brass Filigree Beadcaps and a Fluted Brass Bead. The iridescent color of these beads is gorgeous when the light reflects on them. They are 9x14mm and are so sweet and feminine.



This is a lovely stone, in shades of pale green, tan & brown, with translucent veins running throughout. It has an air of understated elegance, which makes it suitable for dressy or casual wear. I cut and polished it into one of my "pepper" shapes, which gracefully curves to a point.



Blossoms of brick red lay across a coppery brown field, accented by veins of quartz. This is a fun shape – I cut and polished the stone myself so I was able to make the most of natural patterns and colors in the gemstone. It’s wrapped in Argentium sterling silver, which is highly tarnish resistant.



This is a real Orchid that has been preserved in resin so it will last forever. This beautiful Turquoise Orchid is surrounded by a Double Strand of Turquoise, Sodalite, Picture Jasper, Czech beads, & Copper Findings.

Green Aventurine graces this sweet little ring. Organic and rustic qualities and a lovely patina add to it's character and charm. Aventurine is said to promote emotional tranquility and positive attitudes and who couldn't use a bit of that! It's also said to increase confidence. This ring would make a lovely gift for a girlfriend or for yourself...you know on one of those holidays....because you deserve to be good to you! This ring is comfortable enough to wear everyday.



I haven been attending so many weddings this summer. And I wanted to celebrate love, so with that in mind I created this necklace. While I was making it, my thoughts where on my own love, and I'm certain you will feel this when you wear it, because no magic is strong than eternal love.



I was flying around with the night fairies. And the moon was shinning brighter then ever. Suddenly, a big rock feel from the sky, and landed right next to me. I had never seen anything like it before. It turned out it was a piece of the moon, I quickly ran to my workspace, and made a necklace out of this wonderful gift.



A sweet raspberry stone on a reticulated sterling pendant. Reticulation is a metalsmithing technique which adds a wonderful texture to the metal. The patina adds character and gives this a gloriously rustic and earthy quality. This looks like an artifact that was dug up from the earth and polished off. This piece can stand alone or layer it with your other necklaces.

This is a rather large, bulky piece of green sea glass that I wrapped with sterling silver wire. Portions of the wire are hammered, for a different look. To keep with the laid back, hodge podge feeling for this necklace, you can see that the bail wrap is a bit on the sloppy side. I actually like the look of messy wire work for sea glass. For fancy brios or finer gem stones, I'll use a more uniform (or perfect) wrap. . . but for these I say, "Hang loose!"



This pendant is broom cast in silver and set with a 1.5 carat blue topaz. The pendant is 1.25 inches (35mm) north-south and .5 inch (10mm) east-west. The pendant comes with a black leather cord but would look stunning on your sterling silver chain.



This bracelet contains an enameled etched background with a copper enameled lady bug on it. The chain is copper. The enameled part is 1 by 2 inches. The bracelet will fit an average wrist. If you need a little bigger, let me know and I can add some links.



This cute ring is has a dark green piece of sea or beach glass bezel set in sterling silver that has been oxydized with liver of sulpher (stinky!). On the top of the ring shank on each side, I added little Bali daisy spacers for something different. It is a size 6 (six). I usually make the rings to fit my fingers, so if you want it bigger, I possibly can make it little larger with my mallet. (Not smaller).

This beautiful wire-wrapped silver necklace has been designed with a stunning dragonfly toggle clasp, handmade lampwork beads, turquoise beads, amazonite beads, sterling silver beads and daisies from Bali, swarovski crystals and lots of sterling silver wire. The elements are strung on wire and connected with wrapped loops and jumprings, the turquoise beads are decorated with nice cages. The necklace has been blackened, tumbler and hand polished.



Globus is a focal bead which was made on a 3/32" mandrel so would be ideal for silk ribbons, leather, or rubber cording! The background color is a soft organic green. The decorations are multi-colored dots covered with clear lenses. White accents lie in between. Globus measures 16mm from hole to hole and is approx. 22mm in diameter.



This elegant silver pendant was inspired by the "true blood series". It has been designed with a 20 ga 935 silver disc which has been hand stamped with the word "bloodthirsty". I attached a wire-wrapped facetted garnet briolette. The disc was oxidized and tumbler polished. It is dangling on a 925 20 ga sterling silver snake chain. The disc is 20 mm in diameter, the chain 45 cm long.



Huckleberry is a set of 4 large (18mm) nuggets with a background shade of soft blueberry. They have been "dappled" all over for a webbed effect. The stringing holes are 1/16".

Featured Shop: Crazed Magpie Jewelry

Crazed Magpie Jewelry told us: "Why am I "Crazed Magpie Jewelry"? I think the quote by Lord Thomson of Fleet sums it up quite well, "I have a magpie mind; I like anything that glitters." My husband added the "crazed" part because of my inability to pass by anything that glitters! "

We're magpies, too. Click on any photo to learn more about the item.
