~~~ The Beginning ~~~

In order to share my Treasures, my Trials and my Triumphs, with the many Friends all over this Globe I've had the privilege to make since beginning this awesome Journey...and for all the Friends I have yet to meet, I've decided to tackle learning how to set up a Blog.
Making things has always come relatively easy to me. I've made all kinds of things most of my life. Learning and operating anything technical however, has always been somewhat of a challenge, to say the least, and definitely not a challenge I have enjoyed. Although, in this technology oriented World, I should embrace this challenge with joy, because I know that when I master it, I will feel like I'm on top of the World and there will be nothing I can not do, as long as I put my mind to it.
This is my first entry on my first Blog and I welcome all of you that come and visit with me. I hope you enjoy your time here and find some pleasure in sharing with me the Treasures my Fingers create. Every Piece is made with love.

Thank you so much for dropping by

ZEBRA SWIRL $45.00 (1603) Sold

This amazing and very unusual one of a kind Ring is made of 925 Argentium Sterling Silver and a gorgeouse black and white Zebra Jasper that peeks out from the Swirls. Argentium Sterling Silver has the advantage of not tarnishing like ordinary Sterling Silver, which means it stays shiny and clean for a very long time in between polishing. Truly the Rolls Royce of Sterling Silver. The entire Ring is intricately hand woven and shaped with more then 7 Feet of this beautiful Precious Metal. The Picture doesn't do it justice. Ring Size 7.5

ARGENTIUM SILVER WIRE WRAPPED AUSTRALIAN BOULDER OPAL

I CUSTOM WRAPPED THIS TINY BUT OH SO LOVELY AUSTRALIAN BOULDER OPAL FOR A LOVELY LADY IN SUNNY QUEENSLAND. IT WAS QUITE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STONE WASN'T TAKEN OVER BY THE ARGENTIUM SILVER, MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE BEAUTIFUL FIRE OF THE OPAL WASN'T COMPROMISED AND COULD BE ENJOYED BY ITS DELIGHTED OWNER

GOLD EURO 4-1 CHAINMAILLE RING $20.00

CLEOPATRA $52.00

This Beautiful rich Set has an amazing 400x200mm Bronzite Teardrop Focal and four little Bronzite Teardrop Accents with handwrapped little Gold Coils. The colors and Patterns in Bronzite never seize to me and I never get sick of looking at them.
The Necklace is made up of 42 Tiger iron Rounds and Amber Czech Fire Polished Faceted Rondelles to add glamour and finished with a lovely Toggle Clasp.
The Earrings are made up of matching Stones and Crystals. This Set could easily be worn with that favourite Pair of Jeans or glamed up with your favourite after Five Number. These earthy neutral colors will match just about anything in your Wardrobe, making this one of a kind Set a very versatile and valuable Accessory to own.

BEAUTIFUL BLUE CALCITE WOVEN PENDANT FOR A VERY SPECIAL LADY

ABOUT ARGENTIUM STERLING SILVER, THE ROLLS-ROYCE OF SILVER

ARGENTIUM STERLING SILVER IS AT LEAST 92.5% PURE SILVER. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARGENTIUM AND TRADITIONAL STERLING SILVER IS THAT A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE COPPER THA IS USUALLY THE OTHER 7.5%, IS REPLACED WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF GERMANIUM. PETER JOHNS, PROFESSOR OF SILVERSMITHING AT MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY OF ENGLAND, INVENTED ARGENTIUM STERLING SILVER IN 1996 AFTER 6 YEARS OF RESEARCH. ONE OF THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGES OF ARGENTIUM IS THAT IT IS EXTREMELY TARNISH RESISTANT UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL STERLING SILVER. ALTHOUGH ARGENTIUM IS A LITTLE PRICIER, I THINK ITS WELL WORTH IT. I'VE HAD ARGENTIUM LAYING AROUND AND WORN IT FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND ITS STILL AS SHINY AS THE DAY I CREATED IT. PERFECT!

ABOUT GOLD FILL

Gold fill is a manufacturing process whereby a gold sandwich is created, gold on the outside and a base metal on the inside. The gold is permanently bonded under enormous pressure to the surface of the base metal, resulting in a gold surface about 100 times thicker then gold plating. It is far more durable than mere gold electroplating. In appearance jewelry produced with 14kt gold fill is identical to jewelry produced with 14kt solid gold. The only way to tell them apart - even for a jeweler - is by stamping indicating it is gold fill, and even in the most extreme circumstances, gold fill will not "wear off" as is commonly the case with gold plate.

~~~ PHOEBE $75.00 ~~~

PHOEBE IS THE GREEK GODDESS OF THE MOON. THIS SET GOT ITS NAME BECAUSE THE CARNELIAN FOCALS REMIND ME OF NIGHTS WITH A FULL MOON . THEIR COLORS ARE TRULY AMAZING AND THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED BY BLUE GOLDSTONE RICE BEADS ON THE OUTER STRAND AND FACETED TUBES ON THE INNER STRAND, SPARKLING LIKE STARS IN THE NIGHT, SURROUNDED BY CARNELIAN BUTTONS AND LITTLE FIRE CARNELIAN NUGGETS, WHICH ARE IN TURN SET OF BY TWO SIZES OF COPPER RICE BEADS AND FINISHED WITH A COPPER LOBSTER CLASP. MY CAMERA HASN'T DONE THIS BEAUTIFUL SET JUSTICE

AISHA $29.00 (0435)

~~~ AMINA $65.00 ~~~

Amina is african and means "peaceful", which is what this Necklace radiates for me when I look at it. The Pendant is a beautiful striped Agate, a gorgeous Biwa Pearl and a Fresh Water Pearl in a Sterling Silver Setting. The Necklace has 24 hand made Murano Beads with real Sterling Silver Foil inside them. They are just gorgeous. I could'nt quite get the color right.The blue is not quite as bright and has an almost purple tinge to it. A very uniqe color. There are also 6 beautiful 10mm Spheres, another 32 Tibetan Silver Beads, two Pewter Beadcaps and a Sterling Silver Hook and Eye Clasp.This Necklace is truly gorgeous and one of my favourites
