The Rose Sword is happy to offer new one of a kind creations by owner, Mary Deis. Each piece is created with loving care from our home to yours and is thoughtfully put together using color concepts from the Pantone Fall and spring colors that are the basis of most of the fashions that are on the runway and in the stores. This way, our jewelry is guaranteed to go with whatever you are wearing.

These collage pieces are a marriage of new and old materials. They are brought together by modern day cage work—a time intensive, artist hand’s on joining of new and old plastics, lucites, pressed or molded glass, metals—pressed and plain, antique and vintage crystals, vintage precious stones , bit and pieces of vintage art from other pieces and new and old findings. Of course, any of the finding that touch your precious skin are new, and lead free. The countries represented are Austria, Germany, Japan, Italy, and the United States. These pieces have dimension . . . the three dimensions of the flowers, crystals—hidden and not hidden—give life, shape and movement to the piece. I like the words re-purpose and re-create. Come on ladies—who among us has not had to recreate ourselves over the years to keep things interesting for ourselves? (I would say for others but who cares about them—we are not here to entertain and please others? Are we? I would say no. . .we are here to laugh and love and give what we can based on who we are and to just “BE.” That’s when we give the best of who we are to those we love and when the real stuff starts! Let others come and celebrate us! ) When the light captures the details on these babies, are they ever alive. Each piece is different that even if you may see similar components, they will not be the same piece. . . you will have the one and only. And each piece had an artist’s signature to assure you of quality. These are handmade in the United States by one person and they come from our home to yours.

The design inspiration for this piece began with the hand carved jade Buddha that was harvested from a purchased lot. He is a semi precious vintage stone without a chip and the hand carved details are delicious. At the bottom of the piece, which is woven on a round gold plated cage, are two acrylic, semi-translucent leaves. Surrounding his head are the flowers opening tier petals of orange red and yellow to the rays of the sunlight. Flowers are acrylic flowers from Germany and are from new stock. Vintage crystal in clear and opaque white as well as orange Swarovski crystal are used for the centers of the flowers. The light it attracted to these place so there is quite a bit of light and shadow giving depth and clarity to this composition. All headpins are wires are new and gold plated. Deep read beads serve as unopened blossoms on the piece. The chain is made of vintage Lucite stock beads and new old stock connectors hand worked. This piece is time intensive in both thought and hand work. 2 ½” x 1 ½” are the measures on the focal piece and the chain measures 11” from the back of the neck to where it touches down near the heart chakra.
