Romantic Garnet Earrings

Red is the color of love and romance, and what could be more romantic than gorgeous color of rich red garnets! Garnets are the birthstone of January babies, and its name comes from the Latin word granatus, meaning like a grain, which refers to the way the crystals resemble grains or seeds embedded in the matrix.

These gorgeous earrings started with a handmade frame of sterling silver wire that was hand forged, then wrapped with yards of 30-gauge sterling silver wire. The 3mm faceted garnet roundels and 2mm sterling silver beads were “stitched” onto the frame, and then the entire piece was antiqued to show all the fine details.

These romantic garnet earrings are 2-1/8 inches in length; the dangle is 1-3/4 inches long and 1 inch at its widest point. They are the perfect romantic gift for a bride-to-be, a January baby or any fashionista! You will find them here!

Thank you for looking!

A Modern Classic Bracelet!

A modern classic copper bracelet made from humble elements, heavy gauge copper wire and a simple copper washer!

Each link in this bracelet was shaped into a swirl then textured with a chasing hammer for strength and design! The the J shaped clasp blends nicely with the bracelet, having that same swirl shape. It hooks into a round copper toggle that has a creative cross-hatch texture!

The copper elements of this bracelet are untreated so they will develop their own unique patina over time. If you prefer your copper jewelry to remain bright and shiny, soak your bracelet in a lemon juice bath for ten minutes and it will be like new again! Click Here to see a blog post with additional information on cleaning your copper jewelry!

The Modern Classic Bracelet is 8-1/4 inches in length, perfectly made for wrists 7 to 7-1/2 inches around.

Thank you for looking!

Organic Copper Earrings
with a Twist!

These organic copper earrings with a twist were originally made at the request of one of my customers. She loved my Organic Olives earrings, but wanted a neutral copper bead so that they would go with more clothing options!

These graceful earrings are made with copper wire that has been textured with a chasing hammer for strength and a cool organic look! From the top of the earwire, these earrings are 2-1/4 of an inch in length; the dangles are 1-1/2 inches long, swinging from handmade copper earwires. I especially love the copper rope bead as the focal point on the dangle, it adds a middle eastern flair to these lovely earrings!

Thank you for looking!
