$15.00 - Item#E128AE

Copper has been used by humans for 10,000 years. Spiral motifs embellish the 5,000-year-old monument of Newgrange, in Ireland, possibly ancient symbols of renewal, the cycles of nature, or the turning of the heavens. These earrings combine these relics of our history, featuring glass spiral beads, copper wire coils, and non-nickel leverback earwires. Measure 1-3/4 inches long, not including earwires in that measurement (images enlarged to show details). One-of-a-kind (OOAK) item, only one pair available. Gift boxed.

$28.00 - Item#E059LLAKE

These beads captivated me the moment I saw them! Such an unusual shade of deep, sparkling blue-gray-green, like the waters of a magical lake. The earrings include eight Swarovski crystals, six faceted Czech glass drops, and two brass filigree. Measure 2 inches long, not including the nickel-free brass leverback ear wires in that measurement. One of a kind item, only one pair available, designed and handmade in my private studio. The picture (which is enlarged to show details) is exactly the item you will receive. Gift boxed.

The Lady of the Lake gave King Arthur the sword Excalibur. Different versions of the story give her name as Nimue, Vivian, Elaine or Niniane. In many European myths, magical women are associated with bodies of water.

$14.00 - Item #E059BC

Brass pistol and Chinese coin charms capture the spirit of FIREFLY fans everywhere! These are my first Browncoat earring design, of which I recently made 60 pairs and donated them to the Can’t Stop the Serenity global charity event to raise money for Equality Now. (I will also be donating some extra goodies to my local screening in Raleigh, NC.) I ended up with a few extra pairs, and still have two of them available for sale.

Click here to see my newer Browncoat earring design with real carnelian stones.

These earrings measure about 1-3/8 inches long, not including brass leverback earwires. Image enlarged to show detail. Each is handmade in my private studio, and designs on coins may vary. Most of my jewelry is one-of-a-kind, but this is one of the few items where I will make several of the same design. Giftboxed.

Sterling Silver “Celtic Stones” Earrings

May 18th, 2009 by Jen

msb-118-ssknotsnstones.jpg

$25.00 - Item#E059STONES

The Celts used scrolling patterns and curvilinear designs to embellish everything — books, stone monuments, jewelry, horse bridles and more. In that tradition, these earrings feature Celtic style knotwork embellished with real peridot and labradorite faceted stone drops. All metal is sterling silver. The earrings measure 1-5/8 inches long, not including the french hook ear wires in that measurement. One of a kind item, only one pair available, designed and handmade in my private studio. The picture (which is enlarged to show details) is exactly the item you will receive. Gift boxed.

Peridot, the lighter green stone, is the birthstone for August and the 16th Wedding Anniversary stone. In gem lore, peridot is said to be uplifting, bringing joy, confidence and happiness. Labradorite is for self-esteem, mental clarity, and enhancement of spiritual gifts.

Celtic Knot Earrings

May 18th, 2009 by Jen

jlh-059-celticknots.jpg

$14.00 - Item#E059KNOT

Pewter Celtic knots, made in the USA. Measure almost 3/4-inch across. Accented with cathedral-style faceted Czech glass beads. Ear wires are hypoallergenic surgical steel. One of a kind item, only one pair available, designed and handmade in my private studio. The picture (which is enlarged to show the details) is exactly the item you will receive. Gift boxed.

Interlaced designs are found in many cultures. Knotwork, spirals and curvilinear patterns are found in ancient Celtic jewelry, illuminated Irish manuscripts, prehistoric monuments, and medieval stone crosses. We don’t know for certain, but at some time in the ancient past, knotwork might have represented the cycles of nature, the immortality of the soul, or a labyrinth for meditation. If you are told that a particular pattern is “Lugh’s knot” or “Arthur’s knot” or a “Love Knot,” it is only the artist’s poetic license, or the retailer’s BS!

Sassy Grandma Earrings

May 16th, 2009 by Jen

jlh-grandchildren.jpg

jlh-recyclingsymbol-sm.jpg  $12.00 - Item#E059GRANDMA

These earrings are small altered-art collages I made using found items (magazine cutouts, stickers and retro images), set in silvertone bezels, and sealed with Ice Resin. The quote reads, “Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your children.” Accented with glass floral beads, each disc measures 1-1/8 inches across (image enlarged to show details). Created in my private studio, this item is one of a kind (OOAK) and there is only one available. The picture shows exactly what you will receive. Gift boxed.

Ice Resin is a high-quality, crystal clear resin. It does not yellow, and is more durable than other craft sealants. However, it is not indestructible. Care should be taken with this, as with all jewelry, not to immerse it in water, lotions, sprays or cleaning chemicals, or subject it to rough treatment.

Sterling Silver Labradorite Earrings

May 14th, 2009 by Jen

jlh-059-earrings.jpg

$16.00 - Item#E059EAR

Sterling silver earrings feature freshwater pearls and faceted stones. I was told that the stones were labradorite, but I think they look more like andalusite to me (both can look a little iridescent, but the labradorite tends to be more gray/blue, and andalusite green/brown, from what I’ve seen). Measure 3/4-inch long (not including the earwires). Designed and handmade in my studio. Original, handmade, one-of-a-kind jewelry; only one pair available. >Gift boxed.

For some reason, the photograph makes the stones look very brown. They are actually almost green, and more translucent, when the light hits them. According to stone lore, labradorite reveals our spiritual destiny, psychic abilities, and wisdom of the universe.

These earrings were inspired by the character Kaylee in the cult sci-fi Joss Whedon TV show FIREFLY.
