Etched Snowflake Earrings in time for the holidays!

I wanted to produce a few holiday pieces and I love how these turned out!



Handcut sterling silver discs have been etched with a beautiful snowflake design and oxidized to bring out the detail.
Dangling from each, a delicately wrapped sparkly Aqua Apatite faceted pear briolette.



...I'm really loving silver etching :):)

New Custom Handstamped Necklace

Continuing on with the hand stamping craze, another pendant, this one including a sterling silver 1.5mm ball chain, available in my Etsy shop.
Thanks for looking!

Thank you to all my Etsy customers!

This has been a wonderful holiday season for me on Etsy. I didn't expect it and it was a pleasant surprise!
Many of my sales came from brand new Etsians and that was nice too!!

Since the holiday shopping has slowed down, I have been able to add a couple new hand stamped designs to my collection, will more yet to come :)

Here are a couple available now in my Etsy Shop and on Artfire as well.


Wishing all a safe, healthy and Happy Holiday season!

Sterling Silver Stamped Circle Dangle Earrings

some new things listed in my Etsy Shop...here's one of them :)

Riveted Sterling Silver Heart and Copper Earrings

This little dangles feature 1/2" copper disks to which I have riveted tiny sterling silver heart drops.
Ear wires are handcrafted from sterling silver wire which was shaped and tumbled for hours, giving strength and shine!

I love the mix of the two metals together. Earrings are super lightweight as well :)

Earring length: 1-1/2"

Stamped Sterling Silver Corkscrew Lampwork Earrings

Artisan Handcrafteed Sterling Silver Lampwork Dangle Earrings featuring design stamped sterling silver wire with lampwork beads

This design started with 16 gauge round sterling wire which I was hammered and flattened. I then, hand stamped the length of the wire with different patterns; annealed, then twisted into a corkscrew ribbon style dangle. A patina was added to bring out the stamped design, then placed in the tumbler for several hours to give a high shine.
Lampwork beads are from one of my favorite glass designers.. Jenelle and Daniel @ http://www.sortafloweringdesigns.com/pages/etsy.htm
Each are wired wrapped and dangle just below the ribbons.

Earring Length: 1-1/2"

Sterling Stamped Cirles with Amethyst Briolettes

1/2" sterling silver circles have been hand stamped with a cute little scroll design. I have added AA Amethyst Briolettes, each dangling from hand forged sterling silver ear wires.
Sterling components were tumbled to give strength, durability and shine.

Earrings measure : Approximately 1-1/4"
