The tree of life symbol crosses all cultures and stems back to our ancient ancestors. The sprouting seed, growing into a strong trunk and then branching off to produce 'fruit' represents the cycle of life and it's possibilities. As the tree ages, the roots grow deeper into the ground, stabilizing it against the hardships found within each season... and allowing it to survive and thrive throughout. It represents wisdom, strength, prosperity, protection, beauty and connection to our Earth.

The pendant is approximately 2.5 x 2.5 in diameter and comes with a 18 inch solid copper chain.

This unique and gorgeous Bonsai has a canopy of beautiful, deep purple Amethyst chips.

More for your Christmas Shopping / Wish List!

I love the look of tribal jewelry, hammered metals and rough wire.  I've spent the week creating a new line to add to my collection of wire wrapped jewelry.  I hope you'll consider visiting my Etsy store for your last minute Christmas gift shopping!  There's still plenty of time to get something ordered, something shipped and under the tree!  Enjoy the eye candy.

I hand cut each piece of sheet metal, never using prefab forms.  I saw, I file, I hammer, I heat with a torch and I patina... then each item is hand polished and sealed to preserve the gorgeous antiqued finish.  I use quality materials and all of my heart, in each one of my designs.  I hope they're as much a treasure for you to wear as they were for me to create.

 

 

Holiday Shopping: Wishes and Gift Ideas

Thanksgiving is just around the corner as is our favorite gift giving time of year!  I've put quite a few new items up in the store to help you shop for that perfect and unique, wire wrapped jewelry gift this year.

If you're like me, you'd rather avoid the overcrowded stores, late night camping at department store doors and the possibility of a stampede when the opening hour comes.  I try to shop early in the year to avoid the crowds, but certainly, there's always the last minute shopping that I never seem to escape.

This is the beauty of online shopping!  There's still plenty of time to find the perfect gift for a special friend or loved one and plenty of time to have it shipped and wrapped for the holiday!

What better way to let someone know they're unique and special, than by giving them a one of a kind, handmade item.  Here are a few ideas from my Etsy jewelry store...

https://www.etsy.com/shop/PerfectlyTwisted

I created this gorgeous gemstone pendant out of sturdy 18 and 20 gauge solid copper wires, weaved and swirled around a AAA quality, plum colored Quartz crystal and accented with Peridot and Spinel beads. It's a sparkler without too much 'bling' . The wires have been oxidized, hand polished and sealed to preserve the beautiful and popular, antique copper finish.  It comes with an 18 inch solid copper chain and will be ready to wear upon arrival!

This elegant and gorgeous pendant necklace is a truly unique piece of wire jewelry in that it's REVERSIBLE. This Labradorite stone is magnificent in color, cut and quality, smoothly polished and beautiful on both sides... so obviously, I had to create this pendant in such a way as to show both sides! An extra treat as it's really two pendants, in one!

Click here to view more images and discover the details about this wonderful and beautiful gift idea!

This unique and gorgeous wire wrapped Bonsai, Tree of Life pendant, has a canopy of beautiful, deep green Peridot chips and rondelles which cover a spiraling copper vortex of energy!  The tree of life symbol crosses all cultures and stems back to our ancient ancestors. The sprouting seed, growing into a strong trunk and then branching off to produce 'fruit', represents the cycle of life and abundant possibilities. It represents wisdom, strength, prosperity, protection, beauty and connection to our Earth.

A couple of new Labradorite and Copper Wire Wrapped Pendants in my Etsy Store!

A fun legend about Labradorite....

According to Eskimo legend, the northern lights were once captured into the rocks and an Eskimo warrior who found them, released them into the sky with the mighty blow of a spear. Some of the lights however, remained in the stones and have come to us now in this form of the labradorite.

Enjoy the eye candy :))

I've also just opened up a Facebook store so if you don't care to create an Etsy account to make a purchase, I hope you'll consider to visit my Facebook store and shop there.  

Click Here for the direct link.

I've fallen in love with designing my Bonsai version of the Tree of Life pendants!  I created these in solid copper wires which have been lightly oxidized.  In some of the pendants, I've attached an abundant canopy of Peridot, Citrine and Amethyst beads, but thought I'd also try something new too... so I made two of them with wire canopies and used rough Aqua Marine crystals for the base.  I hope you enjoy the eye candy and please let me know what you think of them!  :))  Many hugs.
