Amethyst Loop Earrings
These were made with Czech druk 4mm amethyst glass beads, silver plated earwires and 22 gauge silver plated brass beading wire.
Neo-victorian Serpentine And Frosted Glass Necklace
For this necklace I started with a serpentine (new jade) cabochon and put it under a large antique brass hoop. I used a piece of oxidized brass filigree as backing to hold it in place. For accent beads I used a few smaller matching serpentine jade beads and some flat oval beads made of frosted […]
Chrysoprase And Fuchsia Jade Earrings
I wanted to use golden ear wires, but chunky ones rather than the traditional thin gold ones, so I decided to use solid brass. I took thick brass wire and hand formed it into the ear wires, hammered them first flat and then with a specialist hammer to create the texture. I then added small […]
Make Love Not War Earrings
Yes, I know… the 60’s are over. But some might say that the era represented not just a time but a mindset… and couldn’t we use a little 60’s mindset right now? I know *I* could. I bought these little stamped brass flower charms awhile ago and the first incarnation featured small blackstone rondelles. This […]
Blossom Earrings
I made these earrings with pretty powder blue chrysanthemum blossoms which I set on diamond shaped antique brass filigree. I added pale pink Swarovski crystals and a smaller crystal in a rose colour as a dangle below the flower. I attached them with an antique brass headpin. The earrings are set on long antique brass […]
Golden Cuff
My inspiration was exotic rock star glam. I love creating pieces that easily transition from day to evening. Being glamorous all day can be easy with great transitional pieces. I used 14kt gold-filled wire and textured chains to create this piece. For added detail and contrast, I introduced sterling silver textured chains. I also used […]
Salmon Coral White Shell Necklace
I have wire wrapped this vintage style necklace with 5 mm round salmon bamboo coral beads and 8 mm round white shell beads into three strands using copper eye pins. One of the strands overlaps the other two strands. I finished it with a brass lobster claw. The length of the necklace is 18 inches.
Green With Envy Necklace
This necklace is one of the most creative pieces that I have made so far. I bought the resin focal bead at my local bead store because I knew the color would be amazing with the Vintaj Brass. I used small brass chain and paired it with a chain made of seed beads in lime, […]
Nesting Bird Necklace
I created this necklace using Vintaj Brass Co. chain. In a few spots around the chain, I attached wire-wrapped red Czech glass beads for accents. The focal I used is a pewter bird bead from Mamacita Beadworks. I used an eye pin, and off the bottom hook, dangled a brass wire nest that I stuffed […]
China Plate Bracelet
This charm bracelet reminds me of those beautiful blue and white China plates, the ones with the images of arched bridges, gardens and Willow trees. The bracelet consists of porcelain charms, lampwork beads, crazy blue and white striped Czech seed beads, rounded chunky brass chain, aged brass charms, and a toggle closure in hammered brass.
Goddess Pendant Necklace
This 21″ necklace is made using 16ga copper wire, some really nice matte glass beads, and some African trade beads from Ghana. The 4″ bone goddess hangs between two fluted brass beads. I like this necklace for it’s “earthy” feel. The African trade beads were acquired at a flea market where I came upon a […]
Vintage Garden Necklace
Antiqued gold cable chain and textured rings, amazonite faceted nuggets, bronze potato pearls and aged brass wire are wirewrapped together to form this necklace. An aged brass leaf charm, a turquoise Czech fluted flower with a Picasso finish, and a copper Swarovski crystal bicone dangle from the main ring. I formed and hammered brass wire […]
Angel Story Charm Bracelet
I particularly love the angel charm in the middle as she seems to be in thought or having a quiet moment. I wanted to make something that was a little fairytale-like and sweet, so I put the basket and umbrella as part of the design, making them seem like they belong to the angel. The […]
