Mint Green Winter Tree Earrings

Mint Green Winter Tree Earrings Light Green Winter Jewelry Distressed Woodland Shabby Jewelry Antique Brass Earrings Icy Snow Tree



These vintage style antique brass earrings start life as a simple rectangle of aged brass. I hand emboss this lovely tree into the brass. Then I paint it with a lovely light mint green acrylic paint, hand age, distress, and buff the design, and finally finish it with a coat of sealant.

Each piece will be absolutely unique! You will receive a pair of earrings very similar to the ones shown, although it will not be the exact pair pictured.

Jeweled Mermaid Tail - Egyptian Beetle Wings


Jeweled Mermaid Tail - Egyptian Beetle Wings


This waterfall of real Egyptian beetle wings are adventurous as well as bold; a statement that you are unafraid and true to your own self! A real treasure and of real quality! They are made by hand and with care; none are ever made exactly the same, so enjoy!

The bugs are given a natural habitat to live in, then once they die the wings are sanitized in order to sell. I believe wearing them lets people remember the beautiful creatures, even after death. :) If the bugs are happy, I believe that they have more beauty to share as well!

Birds on a Wire ::: Day 9


Bird Charm Earrings - Bird on a Wire

These earrings are SOLD but I thought they were so dang cute and wanted to post anyway!


From Sylvia's etsy "about me page"


I've always been an on-again, off-again crafter. I'd get involved in something, get all the stuff together, make some great stuff and some grand plans, then life would interfere and drag me away from my creative outlet.

This year, I really am determined to stay on track, continue to create and keep my creative juices flowing. Right now, I'm all into earrings - beaded earrings, paper earrings, trying some upcycled earrings (still in the testing stage). I'm just going to keep following my creative fancy wherever it leads me.

Iolite and Tanzanite Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Earrings

Iolite and Tanzanite Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Earrings s09e157
My shop can be found here: http://lavajewelry.etsy.com

A geologist by training, I've always had a love for color, design, texture, and working with my hands. Geology plays a strong role in my jewelry through my use of natural gemstones. I strive to appreciate and celebrate the variety found in nature by choosing gemstones with character.

I like to describe my jewelry as "earthy elegance." I am drawn both to the earthiness of natural gemstones and to the elegant gleam of curving polished sterling silver. Although synthetic gemstones and dyed glass can be extremely beautiful, they do not hold the same allure for me as natural gemstones with all of their charming flaws.

Why "Lava Jewelry"? Well, it fits in with what I do. I love to study volcanoes, and many of my friends will tell you that there are few things in life I love better than red hot magma.

I studied jewelry-making at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco, CA, and metalsmithing at Mission College in Santa Clara, CA.

I work in my cat-friendly, smoke-free home and studio.

I live near San Jose, CA, and I like to use my weekends for hiking, camping, and photography.

Beautiful, flashy blue Labradorite beads adorn these rustic, earthy earrings, making them fit for a Goddess. They display a stunning variety of patinas from deep brown from liver of sulfur to a cherry red from the flame of the torch. They measure approximately 2 1/2" from the tips of the handcrafted copper ear wires.


More about Heidi Kinnally...

I am a stay at home mother of 5 great children. I have always found myself drawn to jewelry making and finally have started to give myself a creative outlet. Most of the techniques I use are self-taught through reading, Internet tutorials, and trial and error. I have had some metal smithing training at Kendall School of Art in Design in Grand Rapids, MI, and I continue to take classes whenever something comes up that I think would be beneficial to me as an artist.

Happy New Year! 2012

This is the first feature for the blog and I wanted to bring in the New Year with a Jingle! I love these ornament earrings and thought I would share.


Meet Teresa Penrose...a little bit of information about her in her own words.

"I began making jewelry in 2008.  It all started because I'd been looking for a pair of earrings to match a ring I had.  One day I had walked into a Tall Mouse craft store to purchase a frame, when I saw their Bead Lounge.  I decided I would make my own earrings and so took a class to learn.  I loved it so much, I took another class, and another, and another.  Next thing I knew I was hooked!  I love creating new and beautiful items.  Most of my jewelry can be on the expensive side, so this year I decided to create some festive and affordable earrings just for Christmas.  I started wearing them where I work and I've had many sales that way!  I'm trying to keep each pair unique - as you can see in the pictures listed." 

You can visit Teresa on the web through her blog and Etsy shops:
