Rose Gearrings

Item#SP101ROSE $28.00

Original, one-of-a-kind earrings designed and handmade in my private studio. I tend to avoid using fake gears (they’re just not as fun, imo) but I thought these were cool. I set them in brass bezels, over found ephemera (a fancy word for paper stuff, like stickers, postcards, magazine cutouts, etc), under a dome of Ice Resin. Accented with brass beads. Earrings are 1-1/2 inches long, not including the brass leverback ear wires in that measurement.

This is an original work of jewelry art, only one pair available, the item in the picture is exactly the item you will receive. Please note that monitors vary, and the color may be slightly different in person. Gift boxed.

The 13th card of the Major Arcana in a Tarot deck is the “Death” card. It does not represent physical death, but the death of the past — or in other words, like the planet Pluto, it represents change. All things pass away, and new things come. I thought this necklace was perfect for Halloween — which was considered the end of the year in pre-Christian Celtic cultures.

This pendant features an image cut from an old Tarot deck and set in a brass bezel under Ice Resin. Brass chain with faceted Czech glass is adjustable between 16-17 inches long. Designed and handmade in my private studio. Pendant is 2-inches high (including bail at top, actual image size is 1-1/2 inches high).

SOLD Brass and Copper “Serenity” Necklace

$38.00 – Item#BC101SERENITY SOLD

Free first class shipping & handling within the United States! Click here for details.

Acid-etched, hammered and polished brass disc features the Chinese symbols for “serenity,” riveted to copper. Measures 1-inch across (image enlarged to show details). Hung on 18-inch brass link chain with spring clasp. I have made these in the past and will make more in the future. It is one of the items I make more than once, but each is unique due to the creation process. Monitors vary, so color may appear slightly different in person, or under different light conditions. Gift boxed.

HOW I MAKE THEM

I drew my own version of the Chinese symbols for “serenity” and had the drawing made into a small rubber stamp. I used the stamp to put the image on a metal disk, then I inked over the stamped image by hand with a fine-tipped permanent marker to make it darker.

The disk was submerged in a solution of ferric chloride, which etched away anything not covered by ink. After an hour or two (depends on the strength of the acid) the disk was removed and the acid neutralized with baking soda.

The disk was rinsed, sanded, and then domed by hand using a ball-peen hammer and small anvil. I applied silver black, an oxidizing agent. This made it darker and enhanced the etched image. Then I rinsed, sanded and polished the disks again, and a hole was punched for the jump ring.

From start to finish, a single pendant like this takes several hours to create.
