I have been busy working on my summer jewelry collection. I am loving circles. I know triangles are the "thing" right now, but there is just something about a circle...
I have also taken on some custom orders for Mother's Day and I have been so pleased with my creations I just had to share what I am doing...making CHARM CATCHERS! I personally love any necklace that you can collect and catch charms on (see more of my
charm necklaces). Dare I say, they are charming? (uhg...I know. puns- sorry).
I have also been in love with hammered silver. So rustic, earthy and masculine. Just what I am into right now. I found these cuties at
Industria on Etsy, of course! Hammered by hand and just perfect for what I am making.
In addition to the hammered metal I have been searching far and wide for deer skin leather. Difficult to find, especially leather that has been dyed without the usual dyes that include heavy metals such as lead . I hate using leather that has been treated with a lot of harsh chemicals, especially if it is going to be part of a piece of jewelry that you wear against your skin! Ack! So, I only use very high-quality leather. I recently found some from
The Peddler on Etsy. She was amazing to work with and had a lot of knowledge about what she sells.
Last, I just wanted to share this adorable silver ring. I love the darling flowers etched on it. I have plans for this one too, and I will be sure to share once it starts to come together. Any thoughts on what it should be turned into?
Happy Tuesday everyone!
PS! If you have a piece of jewelry you have been dreaming of and you just can't seem to find what you are looking for, let me know! I love custom orders and love expanding my horizons when it comes to jewelry. I also cut special deals on custom order prices (: Contact me!
