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—which of 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.” Let others come and celebrate us! ) Anyway, 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.

Woven on a rectangular cage, the focal piece on this necklace measures 2 ¾” x 2 ¼”. It is alive with new stock acrylic translucent aquamarine flowers which have Czechoslovakian glass beads as their stamens. Framing the focal are translucent green leaves through which the sun shines, highlighting the colors of blue and aqua and green. Swarovski crystals are housing in silver plated settings, acting as stamens for their metal bud casings which are CORO new old stock. Small pressed glass flowers from Czechoslovakia are held in place by silver plated head pins. Clear rhinestone head pins act as stamens for other silver plated lacey metal flowers. The chain on this piece is comprised of a sterling closure of the sin and a circle around it. Light green acrylic crystal-like beads are ended by lacy silver plated beads. This piece is time intensive and has had a lot of thought and creativity poured into it. It is balanced and gorgeous and it is my pleasure and my pride to offer it to you. The chain measures 11” from back of neck to wear it touches the skin on the chest.
