Vintage inspired Brass Locket Necklaces

I love lockets and fell in love with these old lockets (but never used). They have a wonderful patina. I paired them with pearls, antique crystals, Lucite flowers, charms and many other things!

Vintage Inspired Jewelry

In the last year I have discovered Lucite flowers and brass. I love how when layered you can create vintage style jewelry.

They are simple, but elegant.

Changeable Bands for watch

Fun, Chunky, Trendy, Fashion watch bands are the perfect accessory to any girl's wardrobe. On each end of the band are two large (16mm) lobster clasp to clip on a watch face (sold separately).

I used a very durable, stretchy cord for ease of wear, proper fit and comfort. Each knot is glue inside a bead to prevent the knot coming undone or showing the unsightly ends. I use many kinds of beads, however most will be acrylic due to their light weight.

These are now listed in my Etsy shop!

Bands: $13 (can vary in price)
Faces: $10 (can vary in price)

In December I started to make these watches as per a friends request. I found that I quite liked making them and made myself and daughter a set as well.

Since they are popular item in many boutiques, it was hard to find a spot to sell them other then my etsy shop. However I finally succeeded in finding a local boutique to sell them in!

They will be sold at Inspired 8621 South Highland Drive 2000 East
OR
You can contact me and I can make a custom watch.

Cherry blossom Lampwork beads

I debated whether I could sell these or not....I sooooo wanted to create a beautiful item out of these. However I decided to give another person a chance!

Reds, pinks, greens.....blossoms, stripes, dots.....All of this screams SPRING!

Vintage Style Locket (SOLD)

THIS HAS SOLD~
I love using old items to make new jewelry.

I used an old crystal that I was told (by the previous owner) that they were obtained from a old Rhode Island Factory that shut down in the 1950s. The crystals were the "sweep ups". The crystals that had fallen to the floor and had been swept up.

The locket and all the findings are made from brass

Halloween

Here is just a taste of my Halloween beads. Listing later today will be pairs of ghosts.

The little trio of pumpkins are perfect for a bracelet. (I have made many of these.)

Pair of beads

To get a good pair of Lampwork beads, involves sometimes several attempts. I have learned if they are simple enough or not too big, that I can make them at the same time. This way I can compare them as I go.

Now for animal pairs, I have to make them generally two different days. This way I can see one to compare size and features with. This is why they cost a little more the regular beads.

Vintage Style Earrings

I just love how these look and how light weight they are for your ears!

They can be dressed up or down.

Made with real brass findings (all the metal parts) and Lucite flowers, gems stone, crystals and what ever else I am in the mood to use! :)

For my Vintage style Lucite earrings I am asking only $10.

CGGE contest for my glass work

I decided to enter into the CGGE contest for April. Theme is Spring!

I decided to create a frog bead. They are born in the spring and to me a frog represents new life, new beginning, fresh start....SPRING!

Please come a vote for you favorite piece! (I am known as Aj Jewelry)

Spring is here....... Bunny beads!

Finaly it is getting warm enough to go out to my studio AKA Garage! I have had the glass itch for 2 months now...... It gets really bad when I wake up in the middle of the night with new items for my beads.

Today is to be sunny and 47! I will be heading out as soon as the little one is down for his nap. :)

Here are some new beads..... Bunnies!

New techniques

I have been working with silver in my beads. I love this new element! I have inlayed foil, however I was told about rolling an ivory and making stringers to use. Here is an example of what I have done.
