$30 USDThree Pair of Opal Clip Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Earrings
Of these three pair of lovely Opal Earrings for non-pierced ears, I believe only one pair is natural opals. I am pretty sure that the others are man-made (woman-made?) This does not detract from their beauty in the least! The large pair are about an inch tall, and the opal in the middle of the rope bevel is GORGEOUS. These are called "fire opals" and the more I look at them, through the loupe, the more unsure I am about their origin. These are quality stones, that's for sure, and just sparkling ...
$42 USD"Baby Floradoradita" Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets:Absolutely One Of A Kind
I like to make these from time to time, as I accumulate so many tiny treasures that would be LOST on my regular Floradoras! Generally, I take a big bowl of tiny charms, my two trusty tools, and a perfect, delicate looking chain, and watch "Masterpiece" while I am crafting this petite beauty. This chain is something I acquired someplace, and saved for exactly this purpose. It is a lovely chain, marked, of all places "Canada"! Weird. It is also stamped "30" (underlined). Wonder what that means? ...
$24 USDOLD Black Jet and Marcasite Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This brooch was given to me by my first husband's mother. It had belonged to my husband's paternal Grandmother. I received a gift of her jewelry some THIRTY FIVE years ago, so we know that this brooch is really, really old. The Grandmother was from Hungary, though I don't know if the pin is European or not. It is seemingly "pot" metal and I don't know if the stones are real marcasites or paste. One thing for sure is that they are all present and all original!!! Likewise with the stone. I have no ...
$10 USDIncredibly Sparkly Rhinestone Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
This amazing brooch is about two inches in diameter. As I hope you can see in the pictures, the rhinestones are all prong set and beautifully iridescent! They are an interesting color; not typically aurora borealis, they are more "yellowy-pinky-bluey". Obviously, I don't know what I'm talking about, but maybe you recognize these stones. I can find no signature or stamp, but the back of the pin is so "open" I don't know where they could find a place to put the signature. I am POSITIVE that the ...
$100 USD"November Holy Flor" Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
This is a theme I try to keep in my shop, as they are always popular. I make them in silver tones, and in gold tones, and I have plenty of delicious components for each. This one is silver tones, with lots of Catholic medals, crucifixes and crosses. There are many vintage items on this piece and I know you will love the colorful Saint's portraits! Do let me know if you have FAVORITE SAINTS or want anything special to you personally on this piece to truly personalize it for you. I am happy to add ...
$100 USD"Silver Hearts Collection" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets:Absolutely One Of A Kind
This piece will be familiar to anyone who has been visiting my shop for a time! I can't even remember how many of these I have made, but it is ALOT!!! Of course they are each one different than the last, because I am constantly picking up every silver toned heart I see!!! It seems to be obvious to me from the price that these hearts are NOT sterling silver ~ but they vary in age, and together have a simply wonderful patina. I stopped counting at a HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT hearts!!!!!! And, I am ...
$66 USDLARGE Sterling Silver Aztec Serpent
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This beautiful set was purchased by me some twenty five years ago at a women's craft fair in San Francisco. The creator has signed her work, but I can't read it, sorry! But, it is a beautiful sterling silver Aztec serpent.....the design of which comes from one of the Codices. The pin is beautifully made, and FIVE INCHES LONG!! The work-womanship is fabulous. I have always loved jewelry with a truly indigenous design. There are a lovely pair of matching earrings, bought together with the brooch. ...
$16 USDSterling Silver Hand Made Flower Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
I love the size and shape of this pretty mystery flower pin! It's very easy to wear. It is delicate in appearance, but an impressive 3 3/4 " long! For it's size, it isn't terribly heavy, so you can wear it on a silk blouse, or a jacket lapel, with ease. I wear a brooch every day of my life ~ it doesn't matter if it is on a jean jacket, or a muu-muu (my beautiful silver Hibiscus!), or a "go to meetin' dress"!! Like Madeline Albright, I am known for my brooch wearing, and frankly, I love the ...
$46 USD"Hi-Ho" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
This delightful, plastic/fantastic Floradora was named after one of it's cutest charms: a mini box of crackers! I have made countless Floradoras like this one, though each of them may have different charms, depending on my growing collections! This one has a facsimile of an orange crayola, a foaming beer mug, a very cute chartreuse lantern, a black seahorse and a pink plastic stilleto!! And, lots of other stuff!! Every person who has bought one of these has told me how much fun they have had ...
$20 USD"Cerise & Silver" Floradora Charm Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings
One of my favorite colors is CERISE! It is neither pink, nor "hot" pink, nor fuchsia........it is a unique hue that is at the same time flashy, but classy! And combined with silver tones, it is to die for!! These are obviously chandelier type earrings, currently for pierced ears. I will be happy to convert them for non-pierced ears ~ you only need to ask. They are three inches long and feature rhinestones, crystals, lampwork beads and some very nice faceted metal beads in the perfect shade of ...
$68 USD"Tribal Song" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets:Absolutely One Of A Kind
This bracelet is something I do from time to time when I find that I have collected enough weird, heavy, crudely made but interesting random ethnic jewelry bits and pieces! Oddly enough, this one looks quite fashionable, as the fall fashion magazines are just full of heavy textured floppy clothing and giant, chunky-junky jewelry!! You might expect to see this one in an Anthropologie catalog or on the Prada runway!! There is all kinds of indescribable stuff on this Floradora....rather hard to ...
$88 USD"Stripes" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
I was decades into life before I knew that Zebras weren't just horses with stripes!! I have always loved them, though I learned from a National Geographics special that they aren't very nice! And much less intelligent than horses. But they are SO gorgeous!! And this easy to wear, black and white Floradora is just loaded with Stripes ~ I have a sizable collection of black and white goodies, and for some reason there are just gobs of stripes in this bounty! So, I always have fun putting these ...
$22 USDFloradora Cloisonne Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings
These are probably my favorite pair of this bunch I am listing today! I have had this pair of matching Cloisonne beads (BIG) for ages, and when I saw this perfect pair of earring posts, I new I had a great pair of earrings!!! The top part is a post, very old fashioned looking in style, lightly painted and studded with a tiny rhinestone. I used some wonderful antique looking bead caps and a gorgeous Swarovski bead to finish them off. This BEAUTIFUL pair of earrings measures about an inch and ...
$44 USDBIG, Beautiful Hollow Glass Beads (and earrings)
Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces:And A Pair Of Matching Earrings For Pierced Ears
This is the second necklace I have made this week out of the stunning hollow glass beads I found, and bought in three color ranges. These beads are polka dot, which is just perfect for the type of bead we have here!! The necklace is 23 inches long and you can use the toggle clasp or slip it over your head. As I said about the first such piece I listed, unfortunately the pix don't do this piece justice. The hollow beads are SO hard to photograph ~ TRUST me, it is stunning!! Note: I can re-make ...
$38 USD"Blue Belle" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets:Absolutely One Of A Kind
This is the first one of these I have made, and I really love it! Blue is my favorite color and there are all shades of blue on this funky, totally plastic, Floradora!This piece is fully loaded with fun things, but of course, not heavy! I guarantee you will have fun with this piece! It compliments your denim wardrobe and only needs a white tee-shirt to be perfectly coordinated!!Please remember that I always like to know how long YOU would like your new Floradora to be. Generally about an ...
$68 USD"Ju-Ju Bees" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
Or, Life Savers? This brilliant, radiant Floradora Charm Bracelet is a BLUES CHASER, that's for sure! I is just absolutely LOADED with transparent plastic beads, baubles and bits and bobs. It is SO pretty and such fun to wear! I have actually sold quite a few of these ~ all slightly different, of course, depending on what new/old things have found their way into my huge box of color, color, colorful plastic treasures! I have one of these myself, and honestly, whenever I wear it I get tons of ...
$60 USD"Lavender Dream" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
You wouldn't think that after all these years, I would be able to come up with a spanking new Floradora Charm Bracelet, would you? But, I have. And here she IS!! I should explain that I have a very large plastic bucket......the kind you put ice in in Summer, to cool your bottled drinks.......and it is THREE QUARTERS FULL of plastic beads! There are plenty of old ones, and oodles of new ones, and everything in between. My Granddaughter loves to dig her arms down into this bucket of beads and let ...
$60 USD"The Bestest Colorful Charm Necklace Ever!"
Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
And indeed it is!! I made this the other night sitting in my glorious, beautiful Ralph Lauren bed with my twisted knee up on a dozen pillows! I wonder if it was all the pain pills I had popped, or just a sumptuous collection of silvertoned treasures I had drug onto the bed with me??? I love the way this one turned out!!! It is eighteen inches long (will go around most heads twice) and I hung a cute and colorful charm every other link!! Let me rattle off a few things I can see, looking at it now ...
$100 USD"Black & White Hearts" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
Have I ever made one of these before? I think not! And, I think not WHY? It turned out so, so pretty ~ but I did have a suspicious number of awesome black hearts assembled, so that's how I know I haven't made one of these before. Clearly, the black & White glass lamp work beads are a "no-brainer" ~ both black glass with white decorations, and white glass with black decorations ~ I have used them liberally. Also, somewhat recently, with all the findings coming out of China, I bought some cute, ...
$88 USD"Elegant Gray Pearls" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets:And Earrings To Match
This is only the second Gray Pearl Floradora I have made. The elements in this stunner are not that easy to collect! But, finally I had enough interesting vintage bits and bobs to put together one of these elegant Gray Pearl Floradoras! By the way, I have a pair of earrings to match this lovely bracelet. You just need to tell me if you have pierced or un-pierced earrings. This is a sophisticated collection of very interesting vintage pieces, resulting in a spectacular heritage Floradora Charm ...
$22 USD"FLW" Floradora Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings
Well, "FLW" stands for Frank Lloyd Wright. The lovely enameled charms that form the base of these great earrings are very much in the style of the great American architect. These charms are textured silver on the back. I have used a perfect silver beads, and then some unique Lac Beads from my collections. The amazing Lac beads are made in India, each one made by hand, out of a natural resin like materials that is rolled into a ball and then hand studded with small wires are rhinestones! These ...
$22 USD"Autumn Colors" Floradora Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings
Here is another pair of Floradora earrings inspired by a wonderful pair of gold tone enamel charms recently purchased. I have the good fortune of having just oodles of wonderful vintage beads to choose from, and I found the perfect beads for these earrings. I love the concept of "beaded" beads, and that is what we have here. These are very old, tan with an iridescent shimmer of green that I am able to pick up with the perfect old jade beads! These earrings are two and a half inches long and I ...
$28 USDA Pair of Lovely Dogwood Brooches
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
In order to price these beauties correctly, I used the keyword "dogwood" in the Ruby Lane search engine. I found another identical dogwood bloom to the single flower here in this listing: $21.00 And, though I don't find the double blossom pin, similar brooches in this category are $18 to $24. So, I should price these two sterling silver (marked) pieces around $40. Wha??????????? I don't think so!!! The double flower pin is marked "Beau" and is two inches wide. The other one is marked "sterling" ...
$68 USD"Gear" Floradora Charm Necklace
Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
This is another WONDERFUL, cheerful and hilarious Floradora Charm Necklace! This piece is for those women who are long on nerve, love color and want desperately to make folks SMILE!! There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many delicious things on this huge and luscious, largely plastic, Charm Necklace. Obviously, if you work with or around kids, this is the perfect accessory for fun events at school (not necessarily for the classroom). These necklaces are surprisingly comfy ~ they remind me very much of ...
$100 USD"Black Rose" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
Sounds sinister, doesn't it? In fact, this is a gorgeous, sophisticated Floradora perfect for Holiday parties, but not confined to this celebratory Season. We all love black for evening, and this is the "must have" accessory ~ keep it simple: black and gold! There are some spectacular pieces on this bracelet from my vast collection of vintage costume jewelry treasures ~ there is a unique sequined cabochon (made out of a button) that is just sublime; very glittery and complex of design. I have ...
$100 USD"Baby Love" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
Why "Baby Love" ? Aside from that great rocker song from the 'sixties, the gentle, soft and lovely palette of this golden hearts collection is "baby" pink! There is an awesome collection of lamp work glass hearts on this piece that I have been amassing for a decade ~ you might be surprised to find so MANY different renditions of the heart, in glass, with such delicate details! I am surprised myself! The gold tones are soft and warm.....not at all brassy. And, of course, even though this graceful ...
$100 USD"Cuppa Joe" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
I am simply "charmed" by these coffee Floradoras at the moment, and when this happens, and I make one that pleases me and gets sold immediately, then I start the Great Hunt fo related materials........and subsequent ones get better and better and better! The original inspiration years ago were these fabulous little Coffee Bean BEADS! I had to have them, but must confess that they did sit in my bead box for several years before I made my first Coffee Floradora!That feels like ages ago now, as I ...
$20 USDFloradora Blue Shell Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings
I saw these beautiful strikingly beautiful turquoise blue heart shell pendants in a catalog and saw their potential for earrings. They are shiny and somewhat striated with hues of light tan ranging to this electric blue. The backs of the hearts are a natural shell ~ but highly polished. I have such a fabulous collection of beads that I had no trouble finding exactly the perfect bead to go with these great hearts! These beads are pottery, and very "arts and crafts" in spirit. A sterling silver ...
$60 USD"Hearts a'flutter" Floradora Charm Bracelet
Artisan Jewelry:Bracelets
This is such a bright, vibrant and "crisp" Floradora with the ever-popular Hearts Collections! Honestly, there is something about Red & White that is not only classic in fashion, but enduring. And regardless of the many, many hearts on this lovely Floradora, it is really Season-less....................fun, anytime of the year! Lots of vintage pieces on this charm bracelet ~ I love the X's and O's for "hugs and kisses"!!! I couldn't resist the pretty hand made glass flowers! Thanks so much for ...
$20 USDFloradora "Stained Glass" Earrings
Artisan Jewelry:Earrings
This is another pair of earrings inspired by the very cool silver metal dangles I found in one of my million catalogs! These are so incredible, because however they managed to make them, they include these small "see through" dots in the prettiest autumn colors! I have used some very old rhinestone findings, framing a great hand painted glass bead, topped by a topaz Swarovski faceted bead! The posts are vintage sterling silver and the earrings are about two and three quarters inches long. The ...
