Handcrafted Uranium Glass Necklace - Solid Copper Accents

$58 USD Offers ConsideredHandcrafted Uranium Glass Necklace - Solid Copper Accents

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
I am thrilled with this sparkling necklace, made of vintage faceted givre uranium glass beads, pale chartreuse faceted glass beads, solid copper caps and beads and finished with a solid copper toggle clasp. Like a day at the beach here in Downeast Maine, this unique necklace has hints of blue for the sea and sky, yellow for the sun and green for our beautiful trees. I love uranium glass beads because they always seem to have a little extra pizazz, that extra bit of gleam that says “Look at me!”. ...
Floral Fantasy Artisan Necklace - Vintage Flower Beads

$56 USD Offers ConsideredFloral Fantasy Artisan Necklace - Vintage Flower Beads

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
Vintage Cranberry colored topped by little hand made flowers with peridot colored pistils made in Italy form the focal of this necklace I made today. I love the way the crystal beads call forth the green center on the flowers! And to top it off and echo the white flowers, I have added some baroque cultured freshwater pearls and some modern Czech accent beads. The clasp is a simple sterling toggle for ease of use and all of the accent beads and caps are sterling silver. At a generous 21 inches in ...
Handcrafted Snakeskin Agate Plus-sized Bracelet

$24 USD Offers ConsideredHandcrafted Snakeskin Agate Plus-sized Bracelet

Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
Measuring at 9-1/4 functional inches, this bracelet is designed for the plus sized wrist. There are 7 matte finished snakeskin agate round beads, each a full inch across and set apart by a modern czech fire polished glass bead. The clasp is a vintage solid sterling box clasp that is NOS (new old stock). Smaller wrists are no problem at all, I can make one that is smaller or one that is larger - just ask! This original design was made by me in my smoke free studio with no cats but 1 boxer dog ...
Handcrafted Copper Wired Charm Bracelet - Vintage Glass

$32 USD Offers ConsideredHandcrafted Copper Wired Charm Bracelet - Vintage Glass

Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
Like tiny harbor lights, this bracelet is decorated with vintage glass beads, capped with solid copper that make them look like tiny lanterns. Between them are modern copper beads with a green vintage bead to close the deal at each end. The clasp is a copper toggle style to make this bracelet an easy-on even for the most inveterate klutz. It is a bit over 8" long and the charms are about 1-1/8 " long. There will never be an exact duplicate of this one as these are the only ones of these beads ...
Handcrafted Blue Swirled Vintage Bead & Cultured Pearl Demi

$52 USD Offers ConsideredHandcrafted Blue Swirled Vintage Bead & Cultured Pearl Demi

Artisan Jewelry:Sets
I call this necklace Lilly's Favorite because, as I worked, I dropped my dish of pearls. My boxer baby had them eaten before I could react. When the vet stopped laughing, he said while pearls aren't normal dog food, they won't hurt her either. Fortunately, she did not get all the pearls and I have designed an elegant necklace with vintage glass beads from Italy circa 1948 that combine black, blue, white and green. The spacers and fluted beads are sterling as is the vintage box clasp. For a bit ...
Handcrafted Necklace - Glass Beads Vintage 1959 Cultured Pearls

$40 USD Offers ConsideredHandcrafted Necklace - Glass Beads Vintage 1959 Cultured Pearls

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
With the blue of clearest tropical water and multi-colored millefiore accents calling to mind tropical fish plus cultured freshwater pearls, I had to name this necklace 'Tropical Lagoon'. As to be expected in any tropical lagoon, there are lovely cultured freshwater pearls for dividers. The glass beads are graduated and the length is 17". The glass beads are from circa 1959 and the pearls and sterling findings are modern. This treasure was made by me in my smoke free Ellsworth studio, supervised ...
Midnight Garden Handcrafted Vintage Glass Beads Necklace

$58 USD Offers ConsideredMidnight Garden Handcrafted Vintage Glass Beads Necklace

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
Handcrafted by me in my Ellsworth Maine studio, I have named this set Midnight Garden to reflect the smooth black back with the vibrant flowers on each bead. The focal beads were made in Czechoslovakia in 1950 and have all the beauty of classic Czech glass beads. I added some freshwater pearls with sterling bead caps and for some glitz I added both clear and pink Swarovski Crystal Elements. I love the dimensional qualities that the Czech beads bring to the party; they are new old stock and are ...
Maine Crafted Artisan Necklace Sterling, Seraphinite, Bamboo Agate

$54 USD Offers ConsideredMaine Crafted Artisan Necklace Sterling, Seraphinite, Bamboo Agate

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
Spring in Maine, always a fond memory and a fervent wish! Today it's snowing but yesterday I saw bare ground! With seraphinite representing our lush green pine trees and Russian Agate (AKA Bamboo Agate) offering pale, feathered colors for the snow that is everywhere and earth tones for the ground we can finally see, I designed this necklace to celebrate the Maine Spring. For accents, I used sterling spacers in both saucer and square styles and a sterling toggle clasp. With all the subtle earth ...
Sparkling Swarovski & Vintage Czech Handcrafted Bracelet

$40 USD Offers ConsideredSparkling Swarovski & Vintage Czech Handcrafted Bracelet

Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
Full of glitz and flashing with a full season's worth of sparkle and shine, this glitzy bracelet features rarely seen Swarovski modular beads in an AB (aurora borealis)finish. These wonderful beads create flashes of gold and silver as light hits them. The red beads are vintage Czech that are a deep true red. It's almost 8" but it fits as if it's 7-1/2" because of the width of the beads. It is finished with a sterling clasp, protectors and crimp covers. Shine on all those special events when ...

I made this necklace as a year round celebration of the Irish spirit and the coming of Spring. The beads are a lovely vintage Czech glass bead with pressed clover design. One side of the bead has the clover stem up and the reverse has it stem down. I separated these with groups of cultured freshwater pearls in a subtle champagne color and added some solid copper Bali style beads for their warmth. The clasp is a solid copper toggle clasp. The necklace is a snidge over 20" long. The earrings are ...

Vintage Glass & Sterling Lever Back Convertible Earrings - Set of 3

$29 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Glass & Sterling Lever Back Convertible Earrings - Set of 3

Artisan Jewelry:Earrings:Sets
I do love vintage glass beads, especially when I can get new old stock that is in pristine condition. I have combined the glass with sterling parts and lever back earwires that are designed to allow the wearer to use different dangles depending on her mood. This is like having 3 pairs of earrings at once. For this set, I have chosen a cased oval bead from 1950's Italy that has a dark persimmon core with an equator of silver with multi-colored speckles. In a green mood? Switch the persimmon for ...
SOLD Fairy Dance in Green - Seraphinite & Sterling Necklace & Earrings Set

SOLDSOLD Fairy Dance in Green - Seraphinite & Sterling Necklace & Earrings Set

Artisan Jewelry:Sets
I call this style my "Fairy Dance" line because it is as dainty a piece as one would expect a fairy to wear. Just shy of 21 inches long, this delicate necklace is seraphinite beads separated by fun sterling twists and completed with a sterling hook clasp. It is both elegant and fun to wear. The rondelles are 6mm across and 2mm thick and the round beads are about 3mm. The matching earrings, which are 3/4 on an inch long, are the same seraphinite beads on sterling French hooks and are light as a ...
