Opal Earrings in Rustic Setting

You will love these Opal earrings!  The smooth, milky white, genuine Opal gemstones look amazing against the fine silver, sterling silver and the rustic, hammered copper metal!

What can I say... I have a thing for contrasting elegant with rustic!!

What a great summer earring!  They would look awesome with casual wear and even for an evening out!  Versatile gift idea for that special someone!  Click here to see more about these little beauties!

Love this Rustic Wedding Band!

I just finished a beautiful, 2 mm thick wedding band in solid brass.  The ring has a nice, rustic, brushed texture to it.  I love the way the texture reacts to the light; it's almost like a cut diamond; gorgeous!

Go to my shop to see more rustic wedding rings.  Or get one made especially for you.

His and Hers Rustic Rings, Wedding Ring, Copper Ring

I am very happy to post my latest creation:

His and hers, rustic rings (use them as wedding rings or not)-   I wanted to add sterling silver lines to the basic ring and I changed it up by setting them on the bias (diagonally).  I really, really like how they turned out!  I always have a deep feeling of satisfaction when I make something and I'm pleased with the overall design; and this is one of those times.

Order your "His and Hers" Rings today - check out the rest of my store while you're there... I'm sure you'll find something you like.  :)

Designs with Raw Ruby Gemstones - Something New!

I received this awesome lot of raw, uncut gemstones and I've been busy designing post earrings / studs, and pendants and possibly bracelets with these - check out the natural beauty below - I used .925 sterling silver for my creations.  I really like how these turned out.  I think I will design a pair for myself. 

I decided to keep the design minimalistic so that all of the focus would be on the ruby gemstones themselves.  Wonderful gift idea!

Kitty Cat Ring Stackable Rings

This is my latest creation:  Stackable kitty cat rings - the head and the body are on different rings and put together they make... you guessed it... the cat!!

I came up with the idea this morning and with hours I had the thing made.  I went from drawing it on paper, cutting out the body and head out of copper sheet (which I then worked and hammered), I welded the head and body to copper bands that I had previously prepared.  I finished it all off with a copper wire tail (hammered and welded into place). 

I love how the head fits over the body when you put the rings on..  This is probably the most whimsical piece I've ever done so far. 

Whenever I think of cats, it's because of my daughter in law; she is a cat lover!!!  I actually was thinking about her when I designed the rings. 

Although I made these out of copper, I will also make a set in sterling silver and copper (the bands will be sterling and the cat will be in copper).  I believe this will be awesome!! 

Here is a picture of this whimsical project of mine.  Get more info in my Etsy Shop.
