Hera Ring sz 8
Hera ~ Juno ~ Embodiment of Wisdom and Grace
Wisdom and grace is something that takes time and practice. That is why I am constantly trying to rise to the next challenge. This is my first raised gallery ring. It's a little "organic" in it's feel it's not perfect it's my humanity aspiring to be perfection.
It has a beautiful mirror finish and nice 2.59mm wide band. The gemstone is a.50ct light green tsavorite from the Voi area in Kenya. Voi is on the Southwest edge of Tsavo Wildlife Reserve the source of the first Tsavorites discovered by Campbell Bridges. It was faceted in Nairobi, and is very well cut. One of the reasons Tsavorites are so prized is their high refractive index ... They are more sparkely than many stones, including other garnets!
I many more of these stones all slightly different shapes/cuts, as well as other types of gems if you'd like a custom order made.

First Harvest Bangle
shape of fruit. The ultimate symbol of health and beauty the ripened fruit drip sweet juices with each bite.
Here the juice is one pretty red Fair Trade Kenyan Garnet drop. Each stone is unique in their raw untreated, uncut beauty. So if you order more than one or request a different type of stone no two will be alike.
Each bangle is hand forged from Argentium Silver. The Gremanium in Argentium allows the alloy to be fused. It also replaces the copper found in traditional Sterling alloys. this creates a piece that not only is hypo-allerganic but also resists tarnishing.
Each of these are Made To Order, please allow 5-10 days to complete. As an additional note if you order more than one I will offer price breaks.
In the comments to seller part of the check out specify the circumference of the widest part of your hand (when your thumb is tucked under). This is to ensure the bangle can slip over your hand. Also please specify what type of gemstone you would like to have in your drop.
The current gemstone options are:
Pyrope (red) Garnet - pictured
Rhodolite (purple-red, merlot) Garnet
Yellow Tourmaline
Peridot

Ariel's Song Necklace - Mermaid Couture
All of the seas cannot hold the beauty of this siren's song! As your step sways to the melodies of life and love this enchanting necklace catches the tune and brings it out.
Unique and inspired the cluster pendant contains rare large, center-drilled, iridescent white, saltwater keshi pearls. Each have center of faceted white freshwater pearls; water clear modern-cut natural rock crystal; or aurora borealis Czech crystals accented with tiny white saltwater pearls and micro-faceted white topaz.
The difference between freshwater and saltwater pearls is evident in the luster of the nacre. More iridescent naturally than freshwater pearls, they truly are a prize worth having.
The precious nature of the pendant compliments the delicately twisted Argentium Sterling Silver chain, hand wrought and heat hardened for durability. From end to end the chain is 28.5in(72.39cm) long, thereby creating a necklace that drops a total of 15 inches.
Perfect for the long look or doubled, the S-clasp is accented with another keshi pearl blossom with a AB crystal center. It can be worn in the back as a nice little accent or have it as a mid point accent in the front. This piece is so versatile and feminine you'll love it!
All Pearls are cultured pearls unless otherwise stated in the specific listing.

Sweet Siren Earrings
These earrings are the perfect companion to the Ariel's song necklace.
Simple, stunning and eye catching! The slight arabesque shape give a feminine dimension that goes beyond the typical round.
Saltwater Keshi Pearls, with iridescence that goes beyond compare, are the petals of the sparkly Floral drops. That spark is lent by the use of Modern Harlequin-cut Clear Quartz (natural stone not glass) and tiny micro-faceted White Topaz.
Argentium Silver is my metal of choice because of it's hypo-allergenic properties as well as it's tarnish resistance. If you'd like more info about Argentium you can look in my policies for an in-depth look at Argentium

Angelico
I have been fortunate to be surrounded by amazing Ecclesiastic Art in my life. For along time I have wanted to do a tribute to those stunning pieces of faith and beauty!
A passion for historical techniques lead me to repoussee. I cut the Fine Silver .999 sheet into the rough shape then began to hammer away. Much like my predecessors I have rudimentary, hand made tools fashioned from steel that I've filed down and shaped for each purpose.
After the wing was finished being hammered I flipped it over to chase {outline & define} the ridges. However, it wasn't finished. I wanted the detail of the feathers but not to disturb the tranquility of the front, I engraved the back of the pendant with the feathers details.
The pearl begged to be suspended from this piece of art! It is 20x10mm of organic beauty! Baroque pearls lend their luxurious nature to anything they grace. It moves freely from the Argentium Silver (.925) ring securely soldered to the back.
Next is the ruby. Even thought it is not the highest quality. It's been heated and possibly fracture filled ( that part I am not sure of, I did not have it tested before I set it). Neverless, this ruby is rather special to me. My younger brother has served several tours of duty in Afghanistan with the Armed Guard. The last time he was there, he went to the local market and found a vendor selling small gemstones mined from Afghanistan and nearby Pakistan. My brother, knowing I could use them, purchased some small stones. He paid $45 US for each stone; more than quadruple the price of the stones you can buy off ebay. It has given that man and his family enough money to last half a year!
All of my pieces are made with sheet and wire from a refiner that always uses recycled content. Which is great considering the necklace contains over 40+ feet of Fine Silver wire .999! The total length of the necklace is 21 inches including the clasp.
All our pearls are cultured pearls unless otherwise stated.
