Lotus Rising - One of a Kind Exquisite Flowers For Your Ears - Vintage Elements

Those of you who love purple and green together should love these. And they are the only pair of their kind, at this point, because I cannot find any more of these gorgeous fire-polished beads!

Vintage brass lotus blossom bead caps embrace the most beautiful fire-polished glass beads I've ever seen. And they are the biggest, too. Mottled shades of purple and violet swim inside a big, fat faceted rondelle that has a coating of purple-y bronze fire-polished here and there on the outside. They are simply stunning -- and large at about 15 x 11mm. Above are antiqued copper bead caps, and below, light spring green Czech glass flower bead caps.

They dangle from large brass kidney wires that are festooned, as I am wont to do, with large iridescent purple seed beads (you'll get a few extra with your order, just in case you lose one). They are a bit weighty in the sense that you can feel them swinging on your ears, but not overly heavy.

Your jewelry will arrive in a glossy black box with an Adorn Me jewelry label outside and a folded burgundy-colored note inside, written in silver metallic ink on nice card stock. If your purchase is a gift for someone, you can send us a Conversation and tell us what you would like hand-written on the card. This is then boxed and wrapped up in a sparkly silver ribbon, all ready for gift-giving! If you prefer we can leave the ribbon untied, so you can peek inside to see the gift you're giving and then tie the ribbon yourself, just message us with the info.

Berries In the Snow - Holiday Earrings with Vintage Elements

These lush, elegant holiday earrings are called Berries in the Snow.

I am pretty attached to these earrings. They feel so festive to me that they, more than anything else I've created recently, kind of define the season for me.

These festive earrings feature lovely gold-plated leaves made from a vintage mold, little crystal chandelier pieces and some lovely, unique, deepest red vintage Swarovski crystal rounds from the Art Deco period. The brass ear wires are decorated with little Czech glass beads, as I like to do. The photos make them look different lengths, but they are exactly the same length -- which is 2 3/8" long.

Summer Solstice - a set.

This next piece is actually a set. It's a bracelet and earrings in the lovely summer colors of chartreuse and turquoise.

Large 20mm ovals of chartreuse howlite alternate with tiny silver beads and 10mm matrix chalk turquoise ovals make up this matching bracelet and earring set.

The bracelet has petite but effective bali silver a toggle closure, and hanging from it a little silver dragonfly, two small silver beads and a top-drilled AB swarovski crystal. It is adorned with bali beads at the ends. The howlite is a true chartreuse green and the chalk turquoise has a nice bronzey matrix.

The earrings really match the bracelet exactly -- down to being finished at the bottoms with the same little antiqued silver dragonflies that set off the bracelet. Here's a close-up of them.

The bracelet is 9.5 inches long and the earrings, from the drop are 2 inches long. The set sells for $51.50.
