Long Copper Necklaces with some Sterling and Stone Bead Accents

As the price of Silver has been dramatically increasing over the past year or so I was forced to consider using some alternative metals. I am actually crazy about the look of copper - especially when it has been oxidized using Liver of Sulfur and then polished back up to a matte sheen by using steel wool. It has a certain warm glow to it and a very unique look.

Tangerine Orange

This colorful tangerine orange necklace is the perfect piece to brighten up your outfit for the Cinco de Mayo celebrations. The beads are faceted glass which gives it just that right amount of sparkle...Wear it and light up the room!

Spring is Here !

Wow !  Blogger has changed since the last time I posted. So this is a test to see how the new layout/font  looks...

As for this pretty necklace it will take you through Spring and into the hot Summer Months..It's got some umph but it is still lightweight and "airy".  

I have made this general design several times in the past but they have each had their own quirks and I like to mix up the different stones and chains. However the "skeleton" of each pendant in this collection follow the same concept ...Presently you can find this one http://www.etsy.com/listing/94047973/carnelian-and-sterling-wire-wrapped for sale in my etsy shop  !!! 

If you have a stone preference let me know and I will see what I have or can find to customize one just for you !

All metal findings are 92.5 Sterling Silver

Debra is her name and she is having her readers link up something that they created so I posted this pair of pearl earrings from my etsy store. I have made this certain style for quite a few years now and once- a long, LONG time ago - they were photographed for a magazine spread in a Martha Stewart Wedding issue. Click on the photo of the model - You can just see the earrings peeking out from underneath her side rolls. I want to fix my hair like hers- So stinkin cute !
