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.

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.
