Recycled earring collar

This is another mosaic type piece. I used a recycled lucite earring and crackled marbles. It is made with copper wire.

Flaming Heart Goddess Necklace

This collar style necklace is wire wrapped in copper with dyed Rhodonite beads. It has a "tribal meets industrial feel" to it. It is a very dimensional piece. The abstract shaped heart is netted with wire and coiled circles are added for depth. It has a patina to give it rich bronze look. It is made from raw copper so take note if you have a sensitivity to some metals.

Twisted pearl necklace

This necklace is made from copper wire, champagne colored glass pearls and yellow quartz briolettes.  It is a "WIP"

Recycled lucite earring necklace

I decided to dig into my stash of broken and vintage clip on earrings. It always so much fun upgrading outdated jewelry into a new, cool style. This necklace is a collection of old, marbled and speckled lucite clip on earrings. There is also a beautiful mother of pearl bead and crackled marbles. I used copper wire to bring everything together. The bottom center earring is exceptionally fun. I love pyramid shapes. Even the leather is from an old vest. It measures approximately 19 inches in length. The clasps is hand made by myself, as well.

Tree of Life

The beauty of these pendants are how organic and different every one turns out. They can be made in many types of metals and different stones, crystals or glass beads.

Sesheta

Seshat (Sashet, Sesheta), meaning 'female scribe', was seen as the goddess of writing, historical records, accounting and mathematics, measurement and architecture to the ancient Egyptians. She was depicted as a woman wearing a panther-skin dress (the garb of the funerary stm priests) and a headdress that was also her hieroglyph - Seshat determinative - which may represent either a stylized flower or seven pointed star on a standard that is beneath a set of down-turned horns. (The horns may have originally been a crescent, linking Seshat to the moon and hence to her spouse, the moon god of writing and knowledge, Thoth. I am very fascinated by Egyptian mythology and history. Seshat is said to be the female counterpart of Thoth from ancient Egypt. She was an important goddess, even from earlier times in the Pyramid texts. She was the first and foremost female scribe - accountant, historian and architect to both the pharaoh and the gods. She was the female goddess of positions belonging mostly to men. Yet she did not have a personal name, only a title - Seshat, the Female Scribe.

Citrine cross

I stumbled upon this chunky silver cross and wrapped some citrine nuggets on it with copper wire. I love the look of silver and copper together. I'm real fond of this new bail I designed. It is great for interchangeable pendants. I call it the elephant bail. I make them in different sizes depending on the pendant and chain size.

Vintage meets Steampunk

This pendant is another example of recycling broken jewelry and trinkets. After making a shell of sorts from copper sheet, I filled it with old and new treasures. There are old rhinestone buttons, a chess clock gear, a segment from a vintage choker and a crystal from a chandelier. I made a weaved bail and a couple of twisted copper beads to add to the black leather. All the findings are hand made from copper wire and then antiqued with a rich patina.  There is no solder or glue. It is a cold connection piece. It measures approximately 18 inches in length.
