Sonoran Desert Lizard Earrings
One Of A Kind

 
A lizard scampers across a sandy terrain, darting from sagebrush to tumbleweed. The sky is vibrant light blue, rusty oranges and browns dotting the landscape, the heated breath of summer lazily winding swirls of dust through the canyon.

The earrings begin at the top with an inverted teardrop set with a faceted blue topaz, a small bundle of burnished copper twigs beneath. Suspended from a faceted russet orange hessonite garnet rondelle, a triangular backdrop of patterned sterling silver features a bronze highly detailed lizard next to a bezel-set turquoise cabochon. Three hand faceted natural Kingman turquoise marquise briolettes swing below, accented in the center with a tiny signature star.

The turquoise in these photos is more on the blue side as compared to what it appears here as an aqua blue - it is hard to correctly capture turquoise with a digital camera. These turquoise briolettes have natural color variations and matrix patterning on them. They are genuine Kingman turquoise are untreated, not dyed or stabilized.

Sterling silver french hook ear wires.

Earrings are about 1-1/4" wide by 3-1/8" long including ear wires.

Morgana - Titanium Quartz Crystal Necklace
 
She glides restlessly, silently through the cobbled alleys, barely a shadow among the shadows touching empty windows and ivy-covered brick. Hood drawn, cape swirling about her ankles, a glimpse of pale alabaster skin and dark, blood red lips caught in the moonlight...

A mesmerizing trio of natural quartz crystal points have been treated with titanium, giving them a mysterious grey vintage tint and beautiful flashes of purple across the surface. This darkly enchanting necklace is constructed with oxidized copper wire, antique copper chain draped in a scalloped edge and fringed with a multitude of iridescent black faceted crystal beads, and adorned on either side with metallic silver crystal beads.

Chain is about 16" up to 18" long with 2" extension.
Crystals themselves are about 5/16" wide by 1-1/4" long

Rain On The Roof Earrings
One Of A Kind

Emma leaned back on the worn whitewashed wicker loveseat, snuggling deeper into her grandmother's hand knitted afghan, listening to the sound of the early spring rain pelting big splashes on the tin roof above her. Big wet sparkling teardrops trailed into rivulets down the open sliding glass doors to the garden, bringing in the scent of rich dark earth and lilac. The rain would soon give way to a brilliant rainbow, she knew, and waited...

A copper roof covers abstract houses of patterned sterling silver, a cascade of blue iolite faceted rondelles and marquise briolettes tumbling down the front and sparkling below, adorned with a tiny signature star.

Wings Of Glory - .22 Bullet Cartridge Pendant
 
President Roosevelt's fireside chats on the radio... Rosie The Riveter posters about town... The headlines read "Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill Agree On Plans For War On Germany". In London black-outs hide entire towns from enemy bombers, and the chilling howl of air-raid sirens can be heard more frequently. Finally, in May of 1945, newspapers and radios all around the world proclaimed the end of World War II.

A .22 bullet casing with wings spread in a Victory pose is antiqued to give it a vintage look. Strung on a blackened cable chain with lobster clasp.

Chain is about 16" long, and can be adjusted upon request.

Interview With Vlad The Impaler
Hoop Earrings
One Of A Kind
 
Impalement was Vlad's preferred method of torture and execution. Several woodcuts from German pamphlets of the late 15th and early 16th centuries show Vlad feasting in a forest of stakes and their grisly burdens, while a nearby executioner cuts apart other victims. It was reported that an invading Ottoman army turned back in fright when it encountered thousands of rotting corpses on the banks of the Danube. It has also been said that in 1462 Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, a man noted for his own psychological warfare tactics, returned to Constantinople after being sickened by the sight of 20,000 impaled corpses.

Abstract crescents of distressed and studded sterling silver are adorned with a row of hand carved ox bone skull beads alternating with tiny spikes.

Earrings are about 3/4" wide by 3" long including ear wires.
