silver plate | The Alchemists Vessel

This morning I would like to share some the cool components I use in crafting and creating. Some are purchased from a local supplier here in town, others were purchased from Pims Supplies on Etsy. With the market coming up this weekend, production has been put on hold in favor of packing and preparing for the Public! We have things in the works at the Vessel, never fear!

We have some new Brass components in the studio. Never be afraid to shop your local stores for unique and interesting finds like this brass Octopus Locket with a magnetic closure. We have several new items with a sea theme.

Some of the cutest charms I have seen for jewelry in a long time are these brass Filigree or latticed Fish / Dolphin charms. For the Earring Pair “Fishing Gear”, soon to be available on Etsy, these were purchased from Pims Supplies. Her shop has wonderful things! Give it a look see!

Requested by a friend for a Frog Bracelet, I have found these adorable Sterling Silver Plated Frog Prince charms, and you just know I bought a lot more than one design! A local supply store find! Soon to be available in the shop charm bracelets, earrings and perhaps a necklace or two with Swans, and Dragons, and Airplanes, and Frog Princes!

Last but not least in an effort to continue to bring new things to the shop, The Alchemists Vessel will be offering custom Chain Maille watch bands and complete Watches. First up to be chained will be this one, a Unisex style square watch face. Stainless Steel with a fresh new battery.

Just a gentle reminder, the Market is this weekend! 5610 Chinden Blvd., at the Fair Grounds, Expo Idaho Building! Admission is $2.00 at the door, and there are lots of cool booths to check out and shop!

Today we are going to show case some of the items in the new Shop section: Supplies. These are de-stash items and quantities are limited. Check out Wednesday’s, 2/15/12, blog “In My Studio” for some of the new inventory and materials we have in stock to create more beautiful things for you! These items are for sale via the internet only!

These are cute, useful and multi-purpose. Antiqued Silver Bead Ends / Knot Hiders, these little accent finishers come in three styles, Swirl Pattern and Star Shaped, the third is a smooth ball with a crescent stamped into the side of the metal (not shown). Add a little secret to your necklace or bracelet clasps. Great for small gauge Wire, Tiger Tail, and thread, or connecting thread or wire built sections on to chain!!!!

Star-shape

Next we have these wonderful Sterling Silver Zodiac Sign charms, perfect for earrings, necklace or bracelet accents. All twelve signs are here and stamped 925 on the back. The set includes all 12 signs, packaged separately in 20 count bags, each bag contains 20 or more jump rings. That’s 240 pieces plus additional materials. An over purchase, I would like to share at a discounted rate.

Brick red, and rust colors are in this year, and nothing says brick red like Cinnabar. Styled with Chinese Motifs there is a set of 2 Dragons, 2 Fu Lions and 6 Chinese Character beads. All are carved on either side and range from 1″ to 1-5/8″ tall. Sold individually, why not try pairing them together. These are sure to make a statement in any piece they adorn.

Cinnabar Dragon pair 1-1/4″ x 1-5/8″

Cinnabar Fu Lion pair – 1-1/2″ x 1’3/4″ – He comes with a buddy!

Chinese Character Rectangular beads

We have one assortment of Glass Leaf-shaped beads left. Comes in a 12 color variety, and differing counts, not a bag under four leaves.

We also some fun base metal things. Triangles with a Celtic or mid-eastern feel swirl design and very cute filagree or cut-out heart circular earring findings. Comes in sets of five and three pair.

I have to save a few surprises for the shop! Feel free to click on through and see what else is listed. There are gemstones, red coral (dyed), more silver plated findings to help you create that special piece or bring your jewelry vision to fruition!
