Christmas Poinsettia Bracelet

Christmas Poinsettia Bracelet
I love the poinsettia charm used in this bracelet! Large and glimmering with filigree accents, this beautiful charm takes up the front-and-center focus of this handmade poinsettia bracelet that's perfect for the holidays.

The charm in this piece of holiday jewelry is accented with varying sizes of green glass leaves and vibrant berry-red accents for a cheerful combination of holiday colors and the length of the bracelet is adjustable between 7.75" - 8.75" (18.5 cm - 22.5 cm) thanks to the lobster claw clasp and extension chain it attatches to. At the end of the chain is another but of decoration with dangling red berry bead and small silver bell.

Pocket Rosary in Black, Red and White Floral Lampwork Beads

Pocket Rosary in Black, Red and White Floral Lampwork Beads
These beautiful black beads with white and red lampwork flowers delicately created on their surface have been designed into Paters on this handmade pocket rosary.

In such an important piece as a Rosary, being handmade holds special significance, creating a personal touch and attention to detail that commercial rosaries lack. This rosary is handmade with care, the lampwork beads combined with black beads as the Aves and golden accents both in the links used as well as the saint center and crucifix at the end, this single-decade rosary is small and convenient, easily able to fit over the fingers or slip into a pocket.

Harvest Goddess Pagan Necklace in Jade and Pewter

Harvest Goddess Pagan Necklace in Jade and Pewter
When I saw the Harvest Goddess pendant that I've incorporated into this piece, I knew exactly what I wanted to use her for. In fact, in my mind, I already had the beads and gemstones picked out and was ready to create long before I had finished buying supplies to create the piece!

This handmade Harvest Goddess necklace designed in the style of a traditional rosary but with a Pagan theme, this necklace is a celebration of the cycles of life and the wheel of the year in the Pagan calendar.

Five sections of eight jade gemstone beads make up the body of this necklace, each section of eight a count of the year's eight Pagan holidays. In between each section are wooden beads meant to represent each season. This makes this Pagan themed necklace not just a piece of jewelry meant to be worn and treasured but also able to be used as a meditational guide.

At the end of the piece is a tassel of three beads representing the Maiden, Mother and Crone trio with the Harvest Goddess charm at the very end. This handmade Goddess necklace is created with care, meditation and mindfulness to the spirit of the piece and its balance.

Beautiful Earth Beaded Gaia Charm

Beautiful Earth Beaded Gaia Charm
The Gaia (Beautiful Earth) charm is a celebration of the beauty of our green earth and a hope for a healthy planet in the future. Made on Earth Day, this handmade beaded charm is created with earthy green beads and frosted glass accents to create a tassel that's wonderful for so many uses.

Like any of our handmade charms, this charm can be used as a purse charm, zipper pull, cell phone charm, key chain, car mirror charm and much more! In fact, just recently we also started offering an upgrade for our charms so that they can be made into pendants for necklaces or attached to a book hook and made into bookmarks!

The Elizabeth Bathory Gothic Necklace

The Elizabeth Bathory Gothic Necklace
With bloodred drops and an elegant gothic style, this necklace has been titled the "Elizabeth Bathory" necklace and is made with vibrant red drops that have been securely wire wrapped in gold wire then set to dangle from interlinked vintage rings that sweep across the chest just beneath the throat.

This handmade gothic necklace is a unique OOAK (one of a kind) piece that's made with a lobster claw clasp at the nape which hooks to an extender chain and allows this necklace to be worn tight enough to be a loose choker or a little longer to lie against the chest while a small matching beaded bauble at the end of the chain gives an extra bit of decorative touch. The length is adjustable between 18.5" - 20.5" (47 cm - 52 cm).

We also have earrings to match!
