Aspen Leaf Necklace & Earring Set

I live in central Vermont and am inspired by nature. One of my favorite trees is the quaking aspen, which are abundant in my area. I love the sound they make in the wind.

These sterling silver aspen leaves are picking up some great reflections, looks like a fall day in Vermont.

The necklace/pendant has a solid 14K yellow gold bezel set with a pink tourmaline cabochon.

They all have a patina, which I have polished off accept for the veins in the leaves and the bends in the stems.

The set is lightweight and available with or w/o a 16 or 18 inch sterling silver omega chain. Price varies with options.

Second Gear – Is a sterling silver and brass spinner necklace

This necklace is truly awesome! I love how it looks like a mechanical part of some kind.

seconedgear3

I used sterling silver square wire to make the gears, and brass round wire for the rings.

The pendant is all constructed on a sterling silver tube which is flared on each end trapping the pieces onto it.

Each piece moves freely on the tubing, allowing you to fidget and play with it.

The entire pendant is roughly half an inch wide and half an inch high.

It is so fun to play with I had to make one of these for myself!

available in my shop on Etsy, Its ready to ship!

The Bubbly- Is a Sterling Silver and Yellow Rose-cut Diamond Pendant

I thought of making this necklace while I was melting some casting grain into a ball for another project.

thebubbly-1

Just before the grains melt they fuse together but are still granular and right there I decided to make this necklace.

thebubbly-4

I melted a larger ball for the stone and then added some more casting grain, moved it around till I liked how it looked.

thebubbly-2

Then I heated it just till the grain fused together but stopped before I lost the granular composition of the piece.

Hope you enjoy my posts and this wonderful piece of jewelry if you happen to purchase it!

Romeo- A Sterling Silver And 14K Gold Spinner Ring

This ring starts out as sheet and wire.

romeo-1

I hammer a pattern with a riveting hammer, first in one direction and then in the other direction to give it a cross pattern.

romeo-2

I then anneal it, bend it in to a ring, and solder.

romeo-3

now it is a wide ring, I sand one side flush and use my dividers to the width I want the ring to be, scribe and saw or file to the line the.

romeo-4

now I put on the finished spinner rings made of silver and gold wire. I then flare the sides of the ring with a dapping pinch larger then the inside of the ring and with a light tapping with a weighted nylon mallet flare the edges of the ring.

romeo-5

All done ready to wear!

Orbit2 Sterling Silver and Copper Kinetic Earrings

These earrings are so cool! I love the way they move, both the center handmade copper bead and the sterling silver ring spin independently. The slight weight of the bead and the ring give a nice pendulum action while moving around.

Grossular Garnet A Frame Earrings

grossularaframeear1 grossularaframeear2 grossularaframeear3 grossularaframeear4 grossularaframeear5 grossularaframeear6

These earrings are truly awesome. in direct sun light the stones light up the inside of the copper cup (pic 6) . These earrings hang great and feel great a little on the heavy side at 5.5 grams, I used 20g/.80mm sterling silver for the body of the earring. The stone is some type of grossular green garnet and the shape of them is terrific, I used that in the shape of the earring body.

Bondage Ring Sterling Silver and 14K Rose Gold Ring

bondagering1 bondagering2 bondagering4

This ring is both elegant and edgy, with a hint of naughty. Sleek and shiny, it is not your average bondage jewelry. I made it entirely by hand using sterling silver and 14k rose gold wire.
