Five Great Gifts to Give #21

Good  Morning,

Now that some of the mayhem has wound down in getting the Brick and Mortar shop in order, and we are upon Independence Day this Thursday, it is time to return to the regular blog schedule and show off five neat items from five neat shops.

Links to both the shop and the item shown are available.  We encourage you to check out what these shops have to offer, as there is only so much room in the blog, and so much more in their shops.

Mystery Chain Maille Bracelets Set of Four

These fabulous bracelets come in a set of four (4). They are dark, dreamy, striking, yet subtle, just right to match your mood, attire or lipstick. A collection of pretty ribbons for the wrist, these are an excellent choice for the tailored grey Professional suit, a sleek and sensuous bauble for Date Night, a surprise under the black lights at the club, or a cool element to go with your favorite pair of jeans and t-shirt on that weekend get away. Terrific for Rocker, Biker, Goth, and Metal fashions, a superior accessory for velvet or leather. Would make a unique ensemble for Film, Stage or Event attire or costuming. The mystery, how do the rings just float there like that?

Each bracelet measures 8-1/4″ to 8-1/2″ long, including clasp. Gunmetal tone (over copper) and enameled aluminum jump rings in Teal, Purple, Olive Green, and Red, are woven in the Inverted Round Maille pattern and finished with a strong magnetic clasp that holds well during everyday activities and movements.

New Inventory In The Etsy Shop

Here we are, Monday, again.  How does it keep doing that?

Now that you all have your coffee, let us see what can be found in the shop.  There are more items on the way and custom work is always welcome!

Just in time for summer is this very cute and feminine Necklace set, that is the perfect compliment to the Summer dress that you have been dying to wear.  Silver Metal Daisies (Sunflowers) adorn the Silver plated jump rings linked in the Dragon Chain chainmaille pattern lengths, interrupted by lovely Peridot green faceted glass beads.  Matching earrings are included.

Daisy Chain

Matching Earrings

Next up is more summertime green with this “Tibetan Silver” Dia de los Muertos inspired motif of Skulls and Flowers.  Green glass beads in a pretty emerald to a soft pastel make up most of the chain, finished with a silver metal Rollo chain for durability.  Although the earrings do not match exactly they continue the flower motif with cute daisies perched atop their heads. 

*NOTE:  Tibetan Silver, has no silver content what so ever and is an alloy consisting mainly of Tin or Zinc.  If there is any silver in the metal at all, it is 1% to 2% at most.  This metal us usually Nickel and Lead free due to allergies to these metals.

Zombie Spring

 

Also available in Black.  See: One Dark Night

Understated Steampunk Theme Bracelet crafted from Antiqued Bronze jump rings, star and gear charms.  This is a fun and light weight bracelet.  The gears were sold as jewelry components and have never been used in any machinery or device to my knowledge.  The chain is linked in the “Daisy Chain” or Rosette chainmaille pattern to add an extra bit of dimension and interest to the otherwise simple charm bracelet design.  The rings appear to be twisted or knotted together.

Star Stream

And last but not least in a three (3) piece jewelry set in antiqued Bronze.  Necklace is 25″ long, adorned by a lovely old world style locket with an octopus motif.  Antiqued Bronze chain is interrupted by genuine Pyrite and antiqued Bronze beads.  The earrings match the beads links and the bracelet is 8″ and a simple affair of antiqued Bronze chain and six genuine Pyrite beads suspended at equal intervals along the chain.  Both necklace and bracelet are finished with a Lobster Claw clasp, earrings are completed with French Wire (Fish Hook) style ear wires.

Pyrite Octopus

We do have new things in store for the shop.  New beads and other materials are being carefully collected and considered for all current projects and ideas that are in the works!

Thank you for stopping in and having a read.

Monday Means – What’s New in The Shop?

I trust you all had a good weekend.  As always Monday is a look at what has been listed or is currently for sale in the shop.  This morning I am pleased to present five new items.

I am always trying to vary and improve my items and offerings, both jewelry and skills.  Variety is the spice of life, as they say and I enjoy learning new things.  I have spent the last week teaching myself a new Chain Maille weave, intricate, but simple, which is one of the wonderful things about Chain Maille.  This is a wonderful unisex pattern, attractive, powerful, sturdy and strong, and substantial enough for him and can be as casual or as dressy as desired.  Personalization is plus, as this weave can be made in a combination of metal, wire, colors, tones and textures.  The pattern may also be embellished with beads for a more feminine look.  Sultry, slinky and sensuous, the pattern positively slithers across the skin in a smooth silky rope.

Below are the examples of the pieces currently available.  They are all created with 8mm jump rings in various metals.  Slim and sleek, these would be great with a suit at the office for a pop of color, jeans and a t-shirt for a casual outing, or a date night conversation piece (she’ll notice).

“Serpentine“  Silver Plated and Gunmetal jump rings snake around the wrist in an alternating pattern.

“Hunter” – Gunmetal and Antiqued Copper jump rings run in continuous links along this dark tone chain.

“Raphael” – Nickle Silver and Antiqued Copper jump rings, twist together to form this bright and masculine piece.  Nickle silver contains no elemental silver, but is an alloy of 60% Copper, 20% Nickle, and 20% Zinc, sometimes called “German” or “Indian” Silver.  It resembles sterling silver but is grayer in tone.

“Woodsman” – Antiqued Bronze and Copper jump rings flow throughout this chain, evoking thoughts of the forest  in the woodsy toned bracelet.

Last item up is “Ver-Sea-Tile”, a Sea-life themed necklace that can be worn several ways, below you see it as it has been assembled.  The Octopus locket may be removed and the charms centered, or the length of beaded chain may be drawn through the clasp to shorten it to choker or collar length.  The large brass flower clasp may worn to the side as a focal point (very fashionable), or in back as desired.

Choker Style

 

Thank you for stopping by and having a look.  Have a wonderful day.
