I am in love with these earrings! The bronze domes are each set with
a 6mm swiss blue topaz in a fine silver bezel as the center of the flower,
which is a simple vehicle for the juxtaposition of blue and soft gold for
a strong color impact. The bronze is treated, as in all of our bronze
pieces, to prevent tarnishing. Blue topaz is known for its calming qualitites,
for enhancement of spiritual and artistic growth, clarity and concentration!
Disks are 1.25" in diameter, lightweight, and hang on sterling silver
earwires. Designed and handcrafted by Shauna.
Handmade bronze discs, each set with three 4mm chrysoprase cabs. By
Shauna.
These earrings remind me of hills, or desert sands, or even waves.
The pendants are made from bronze, textured with a ball of wire I made
just for that purpose. The elongated hoops are made from sterling wire
that is hammered flat and balled up on the ends. By Shauna.
Pretty bronze domes with a pyrite cabochon are earthy and elegant
at the same time. It's a simple, classic design, but unusual with the
use of the pyrite. Sometimes called "fool's gold", some say iron pyrite
is a protective stone, warding off negative energy and physical danger.
To me it is a cool-looking stone, with patches of gold and black color.
By Shauna.
Made exclusively for a customer to match the necklace of the same
name. 14KY ear wires show off 14KY textured circles that hold dangles
of freshwater pearls and 14KY round beads. The gold wire is hand curled
at the ends to hold everything in place with style!
Freshwater white rice pearls are knotted together on silk cord and
accented with 14KY round beads. Handcrafted fine silver signature charm
hangs at the 14KY lobster clasp.
You can probably tell that I like copper! I think silver and copper
go so well together and here is another pair of earrings featuring both.
I hand cut the copper discs from sheet, gave them a matte finish, and
then treated them to avoid tarnishing. The silver discs are handcrafted
from fine silver and have a nice, rich texture and polished to a high
shine, which is a nice contrast to the matte finish of the copper. One
earring has a 4mm Swiss Blue Topaz cabochon setting. I didn't want to
leave the back side out of the action so I created a dainty, little heart,
finishing again with a matte finish. All of this is held together with
a small piece of Argentium Sterling silver wire, balled on one end and
secured at the back with a small copper bead. The pair are lightweight
and the blue topaz looks very pretty with the copper background. Lisa's.
These earrings were inspired by an old sketchbook drawing of an African
artifact, probably a rattle or some kind of noisemaker. What appealed
was the natural look of it, the handmade quality, which I tried to capture
in these earrings. The silver handle is made of precious metal clay and
given a diffuse, brushed finish. Wrapped sterling wire forms the bridge
between the handle and the copper discs, and also forms the earwires,
which are soldered to the back of the handles. The entire piece was given
a black patina and then polished to give it an old, earthy look. Earrings
measure 1.75" in length, and are so lightweight you barely feel them.

Punched copper shows through the fine silver heart-shaped window.
Pendant size is 1" wide by 1 1/8" tall. The handcrafted pendant hangs
from a hand-formed sterling silver bail, which slides along on Greek
natural leather cord. By Lisa.
A cute and feminine corset brooch is just what every woman needs to
complete an outfit! This handcrafted .999 fine silver corset is textured
with a homemade fabric texture and laced up with blue Tenara (Gore-Tex)
thread. Tenara thread is used in the marine industry and will not break
from normal use. It is very durable yet drapes beautifully so is an excellent
compliment to jewelry. Tiny freshwater pearls dangle from the ends of
the thread and from the bottom of the corset. The straps loop over to
form the bail. Pin is handmade from Argentium sterling silver. Brooch,
including pin, is approximately 2-1/2" tall by 1-3/4" wide. By Lisa.
The barely-green fluorite teardrops are softly faceted, and match
the necklace drop to complete a set that has a feminine look you will
love. Hammered sterling silver ball end wire creates movement and flash,
and we love the delicate, feminine color of the fluorite, a stone that
is supposed to bring enlightenment, and aid physical and mental healing!
Just looking at the lovely color is soothing. Designer: Shauna
Here's a very feminine and delicate-looking necklace. Sterling silver
wire is hammered into a semicircle and wrapped with a piece of sterling
ball end wire, and hammered again, creating the corrugated texture on
the pendant, a scoop measuring 1.5 inches end to end. The large-linked
flat cable chain completes the 18" length: the pendant lays right in
the area of the collarbone--flattering and noticeable, and the semicircle
design breaks the visual line of the chain, creating an interesting look.
Finished with a fluorite teardrop that, with its subtle touch of color
and translucence, adds to the delicate feel of this pretty necklace.

A long time ago I made a puffed heart form out of Sculpey™ with the
intent of creating a fine silver pendant. Well, it sat and sat being
sorely neglected until recently when I bought a new texture stamp that
I knew would be perfect for it. So, I rolled out my silver clay, applied
the texture and then molded it over the heart. After perfecting, refining
and firing it in the kiln, I decided it needed a little more "something" and
I knew just what that "something" was! By Lisa
Solid sterling silver beads are woven on Greek leather, giving this
bracelet a heavier feel. Clasped with a genuine Indian head nickel. Perfect
for the man or woman in your life. By Lisa.
Handmade out of .999 fine silver, this brooch is highly textured to
allow the captured wires to really stand out. In Stitches represents
absolutely nothing except for an abstract design, which leads itself
to a conversation piece and shows the cool things you can accomplish
using cold connections. The Argentium sterling silver wires are held
in place with Irish waxed linen thread. The entire brooch, if you measure
from wire tips and include the handmade Argentium sterling silver pin,
is approximately 2" tall by 2-1/4" wide. By Lisa.
The Laced Up brooch was designed to show off another way to achieve
cold connections. This "vest" is laced together with gold, braided Strinth
cord. The top edge of the .999 fine silver vest wraps over to form a
bail for the handmade Argentium sterling silver pin. The entire brooch
is approximately 2" tall by 1-1/4" wide, at the top. By Lisa.
This pendant is beautiful with so many kinds of beads, so we added
a favorite, aventurine, the color of the Gulf when the wind slows and the
sand settles. The 8.2-gram handcrafted fine silver pendant is finished
with a soldered-on border of sterling twisted wire; we make our bail
from 16-gauge sterling wire that is hammered flat and soldered closed. Little
freshwater pearls add a frothy touch. Necklace is 18.5" in length and
finished with a sterling S-hook clasp. Pendant measures 30mm in diameter.
When I look at this ring I feel calm. I think the Swiss Blue Topaz
stone is what does that because it softens the ring. The color of this
stone is so pure and beautiful. The ring is handmade from fine silver.
The square is approximately 1/2" square. By Lisa.
Evoking a mysterious quality is always desirable in a work of art,
no less a piece of fine jewelry. The Shadowbox is made of sterling silver,
the interior shapes from precious metal clay (PMC). The simple architectural
lines of this piece (21mm x 36mm, just under an inch wide) are highlighted
by the simple unseamed snake chain. Rectangular clasp follows through
on the design. By Shauna.
Our simple shell appears again, the .999 PMC silver pendant looking
perfectly natural on Greek leather, hanging from a sterling silver hammered
wire spiral wave. This necklace tells everyone you are a beach baby.
Sterling lobster clasp insures a secure closure. All shells are handmade
individually, but will vary only slightly in shape and texture. 18" length.
By Shauna.
Square peridot beads join square silver beads, creating this soft
path to encircle your neck. The paths meet with freshwater coin pearls
and a sterling heart lobster clasp. Original handcrafted heart pendant.
It's football season, the inspiration to add these earrings to our
Texas collection. It's what happens when you are from Austin, and then
attend the university--blood runs orange (I remember Dad hollering at
the old Zenith when I was the size of a jackrabbit) and we are fans,
people! These lightweight lovelies are made from fine silver, handmade
with TLC and polished to a flashing shine. The pendant measures just
under one inch from El Paso to the Sabine River as it hangs on sterling
earwires. Show your pride! By Shauna.
Sparkling Argentium sterling silver wire sets the stage for these
awesome turquoise nuggets! Held inside the sterling loop by wrapping
a smaller gauge of Argentium sterling silver wire, the turquoise nuggets
appear suspended in air. The loop of silver, which forms the shape of
the earrings, is fused together at the top and decorated with a wrap
of Argentium sterling silver. Incorporated into these adorable earrings
are sterling silver earwires. By Lisa.
Country road, take me home! Handcrafted fine silver hearts are woven
into a cobra braid made of Greek natural leather. Sterling silver wire
is wrapped at each end, incorporating a sterling lobster clasp and ring. Great,
comfortable weight. Can you see it? Jeans or denim skirt with boots,
and a button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up to frame this gorgeous
bracelet adorning the wrist. Of course, that's just our vision! The largest
heart is just about 1".
I made my husband one of these Silver on Leather bracelets with the
organic design and he never takes it off! My youngest son wanted one
so I had him draw his own design. It turned out pretty good!
I bought 2 of these beautiful turquoise cabs and stared at them for
the longest time before deciding to set it in this simple, yet classic,
setting. The base is Argentium sterling so it will resist tarnishing
and the bezel is fine silver. I made the bail from Argentium sterling
silver, balling the wire on each end and wrapping around 3 times. The
chain is sterling cable with a sterling lobster clasp.
Double strands of Grade A turquoise beads, silver beads and a strand
of natural deep red bamboo coral beads are strung with our own handcrafted
charms, the signature star and square clasping charm. Sterling silver
corrugated and oxidized beads enhance this beautiful bracelet that's
loaded with high-quality turquoise. Finished with a pretty and feminine
S-hook, this bracelet will look gorgeous any time of the year! Lisa's.
Shauna made this bracelet for her husband Matt when he caught his
first big bull red down on Bolivar. The plate is 14 grams of .999 pure
silver that feels excellent with just the right weight on the wrist.
It is securely held on a 4mm brown round leather cord and finished with
Shauna's fabricated sterling silver side findings and a sterling twist
clasp. The plate measures about 1.5". Thicker bracelets like this clasp
to a smaller size, so we suggest fitting a strip of paper around the
wrist, then measuring the strip for an accurate fit.
With this piece we found a new way to showcase the gorgeous Sleeping
Beauty turquoise cabochon, which was originally purchased by our Dad.
These stones are so beautiful that we really needed a cool way to show
them off! The pendant, made of fine silver, is a touch over 1" square
and swings from a 20" unseamed snake chain. Sterling silver lobster clasp.
Lisa's.
Just some simple sterling silver bars, made more special by the brilliant
shine and the slight curve at the bottom. These were made as a perfect
match for our Icicle necklace. The sleek bars on these earrings are approximately
5/8" long and hang from sterling ball-end French earwires. Shauna's.
Icicles never felt this good on your skin! These sleek sterling silver
bars are polished to a high shine, and to make them extra special, curve
down just a little at the bottom. Middle icicle is 1" long, and sterling
pendant slides allow them to swing freely on a 19" sterling snake chain.
Very elegant! See the earrings to match. Shauna's.
This necklace is quite a beauty! This striking fine silver cross swings
freely from an equally striking chain that is made up of tiny little
rings. At first I thought the chain might be too much for the cross but
I was wrong because it shows off the cross beautifully! The sleek shine
of the cross matched with this chain is perfect. Clasped with a sterling
silver lobster. 20" length. Lisa's.
The pendant is made entirely of PMC (precious metal clay or silver clay), using 18 gauge wire and a sterling setting for the blue topaz gemstone. We saw this beautiful pendant on the Internet and, of course, in the movie and thought it would be nice to make one for our Mom, who is a huge Lord Of The Rings fan! Shauna's.
Copper inlay with sterling silver discs. By Shauna.
A fine silver pendant textured to represent ocean waves and the rocks deposited on the shore for us to find. By Lisa.
Contrast is emphasized in this organic design, juxtaposing a dark background with the bright, light color of silver, all polished to a high shine. With the diminutive size--the disk is about the size of a dime--these earrings are a unique, pretty, and feminine piece of jewelry. Made by Shauna.

I have no idea what inspired me to make the "screened in" pendants. I guess I would have to say I was trying to design a pendant that was unusual and very different. The name took a while but ultimately the piece reminded me of a window screen and it just stuck. The frame is crafted in fine silver and the screen of sterling silver wire, balled on each end. The 6mm amethyst stone sits in a sterling silver prong setting and the pendant hangs from an 18" sterling silver cable chain. Pendant size is just under 1 1/2" from wire tip to tip. Rectangular sterling silver clasp. Lisa's.
Here is the same pendant but with a peridot stone set in the opposite corner. I was very pleased with how these pendants turned out - truly unique! The 6mm peridot stone is set in a sterling silver prong setting and the pendant hangs from an 18" sterling silver cable chain. Pendant size is just under 1 1/2" from wire tip to tip. Rectangular sterling silver clasp. Lisa's.
These unique and fun earrings were made on the spur of the moment, my usual method! They measure 3 inches long, not including the handmade ear wires; perfect for a long, slender neck. Made of fine silver and resembling a straw with overlapping edges, the bottom edge is left natural and uneven. The design features a tiny heart, and peeking out of the bottom are copper and sterling headpins. The earring has a lovely soft matte finish, except for the shiny sterling balls on the headpins, and a slight dark patina makes the details stand out beautifully. Fun and entirely unique, these straws may look heavy but they are not! Lisa's.
