Lucky 13 Earrings

Features:
  • Crescent moon with number 13
  • Niobium ear wires
  • Simple, sweet, and lucky!!
If 13 is your lucky - or favorite - number, these charming earrings are just for you! The silver plated brass medallions are 11/16" in diameter, which is a shade smaller than a penny. Their shine and the oxidized finish makes them really stand out!

The ear wires are niobium, which is one of the most naturally hypo-allergenic metals known to man (and woman!) They have an anodized black finish.

Brass Dragonfly Beaded Crocheted Necklace



Features:
  • Large solid brass dragonfly
  • Faceted glass bead segment
  • Black crocheted beaded necklace

It all started with black cotton cord, which I crocheted with colorful glass beads throughout. Then I thought how lovely the brass dragonfly would look with this - like it was in a moonlit garden!

The connector adds a touch of sparkle and wow. It features a large faceted pink glass bead and two smaller blue faceted bicone beads with antique bronze finished brass spacer beads.

I've only made one of these, so if you like it, and it's still available, buy it before someone else does! I'm not likely to make more.

Painted Dragonfly Necklace



Features:
  • Large raw brass dragonfly, hand painted by me
  • Beaded segment for added color and sparkle
  • Sturdy steel chain with antique brass finish and darling heart clasp
This is a very sweet - but not too delicate looking - necklace I designed and created. The dragonfly is a solid brass stamping I hand painted with a special craft paint which is made for metal, then buffed off the highlights to let some of the brass relief design show.

The beaded segment features a large faceted amber glass bead, smaller mirrored faceted green glass beads, and even smaller round solid brass beads.

The neck chain is 18" long, and has a charming heart clasp.

Silver Dragonfly Necklace



Features:
  • Large silver plated dragonfly
  • Faceted glass bead in color of your choice
  • Argentium sterling silver snake chain
Silver beauty you don't need to polish! The lovely silver plated butterfly is made and sealed by Tiffany Brass Co., which is known for its high quality. They recommend not polishing, as it can remove the protective coating.

Argentium sterling silver, which is what the snake chain necklace is made of, has 7% germanium in place of the 7% copper that is in usually in sterling, which is, by definition, .925 silver. It does not tarnish, and yet it is still genuinely sterling silver. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentium_sterling_silver) The one seen here has been exposed to the air for several months!

The silver plated wire that holds the beads is also coated to prevent tarnish. The only part that might someday need the touch of a silver polishing cloth is the little silver plated beads. I didn't polish them for this photo.
