Metalicious musings: Hot off the bench!

I don't know if it's the fact that I'm getting sleep (now that my soon-to-be-1-yr-old is sleeping through the night- hallelujah!), or the energy of the holiday season... but I have been cranking at my bench the past few weeks!

This piece is sooo luscious! It's part of my wrought collection that is inspired by the wrought iron gates on some of the buildings here in the city. I love metalwork-- here I combined that with my love of juicy colorful gemstones! It's available to come live with you right now, for $138 in my Etsy shop.

I've also been putting together a kickass men's collection. After thinking about what guys like and what they wear I created some tough looking nature-inspired pieces. Check 'em out:

This ring reminds me of a coin edge or a bottle cap. In any case, I hand-carved it in wax and had it cast into sterling silver, then I finished it up to look sa-weet! It turned out really cool and I'm proud to present it to you, for $52 here in my Etsy shop.

And this one is probably my favorite. It looks like a weapon, a spear or knife. But cooler and not as obvious. Solid sterling silver, $52 here in my shop.

There are lots of other rings and necklaces for guys in my men's section. Check 'em out. I'm so psyched about finally having a real men's jewelry collection!

Let's see some more lovely items for ladies, because let's admit it, we love jewelry!! It's totally an addiction, am I right?

Okay, okay, this one is a one-of-a-kind piece I made last week. It's recycled sterling silver that I melted and re-formed into a sweet pendant and I set 4 blueberry-colored sapphires into it. I adore it and hope you do, too. It's available for $58 right here.

And another necklace, because a woman cannot have too many of them, a precious sterling silver hand-carved and textured circle necklace. I love the eternity that a circle represents, and this one is organic and still modern all at the same time. It's $68. More pictures are available in my shop.
