I’ve been busily making and listing some new work for my handmade jewelry shop on Etsy – and hope to have even more of the stuff to show you soon! Not everything is in my shop as yet, so keep your eyes peeled!
This disc choker is made entirely from sterling silver. It features three domed discs, two of which feature an etched pattern with the etched sections oxidised black.
And there’s a pair of matching domed disc earrings too!
I’ve also made these sterling silver chain earrings with delicious yellow vintage glass beads which are shaped like a stylised flower. I’ve made a few of these earrings with different vintage glass beads, including these earrings with lovely green ‘wavy’ beads.
I’m really pleased with this red vintage button bead chain made with sterling silver. I’ve had these beads for a while now, but it’s taken me ages to come up with an interesting way to make use of their unusual design, which features two holes side by side.
I’ve threaded each end of a loop of sterling silver wire through the holes prior to beading the ends to hold the beads in place. The outcome is a striking and unusual chain – one I’m very pleased with!
And of course there are matching button bead earrings too!
I made some of these shaped flower pendants a while back, but its taken me a while to photograph and list them. The flower pendants were inspired by a vintage illustration I came across. They are made with sterling silver and have been left with a matte finish. This pendant features a turquoise gemstone bead. There is also a version featuring a yellow jade gemstone bead.
Plus I made these oxidized sterling silver earrings with lovely translucent milky blue vintage glass beads, along with a matching lariat necklace.
Finally, I have stocked up on even more of these really lovely and unusual vintage glass beads. The beads are mostly from the 1940s to 1960s. They come from a German glass company which closed down in the 1970s. I thought I should grab as many as I’m keen to use as once they’ve sold, they’re gone for good. I’m looking forward to working through my stash!
You can see more photographs of new work on Flickr.
Yum, yum, yum! All absolutely delicious =) I think the domed pieces are my favourites, very special! x
