Custom orders

I love to hear feedback from my customers!
What I like even more is to hear new ideas from them. I'm always open to any suggestions and do my best to accommodate my lovely customer's needs.
I want to introduce three new pieces, all of them are results of this wonderful collaboration with my customers - aka "custom orders"!

Lacy Loops Handmade Artisan Bracelet - Copper and Carnelian

Lacy Loops Bracelet - Copper and CarnelianThis bracelet was one of these unintended projects when you get an inspiration from a completely ordinary thing.
I was making some copper S-links out of copper wire and I suddenly realized that the wire I was cutting into little pieces has a really cool shape. So, I stopped cutting it and instead shaped it a little, hammered and wire wrapped with some pretty carnelian beads. Added a hook - and a new bracelet was born!
I of course oxidized it and then slightly polished to show texture. It is on a delicate side, probably wouldn't survive rough handling, but I'm still pleased with how it turned out.

Pearl Fan Necklace

Pearls Fan Necklace - Oxidized Copper Artisan NecklaceWho knew green pearls would look so wonderful with oxidized copper!
I combined various gauges of copper wire with organic looking Biwa pearls to create this rustic necklace. Hair thin copper wire holds the lustrous freshwater pearls firmly in place. The fan is suspended on solid copper ladder chain and fastens with handmade decorative clasp. I deeply oxidized the necklace and hand polished it to accentuate the wire work.

Handmade Redwood Cone - Copper Electroformed Pendant

Redwood Cone - Copper Electroformed Handmade Pendant with ChainThere is a huge redwood tree growing near my house. I found this little perfect cone on the ground and managed to cover it with thick copper shell. It wasn't easy due to the intricate shape of the cone, and it took quite a bit of time, but finally - here it is! A beautiful piece of nature, captured in copper forever.

Oxidized and polished to show its depth and beauty.

Peacock Tale Necklace with Turquoise in Copper

Deeply oxidized copper and blue-green turquoise are probably my favorite combo, I created many jewelry pieces using them over time! Peacock Tale Necklace is a very special design for me, it features intricate basket weaving with wire and hammered copper spirals, all suspended on solid copper chain with a handmade clasp. This beautiful handmade necklace has ethnic feel to it and is designed to turn heads.

I oxidized the necklace in Liver of Sulphur and polished it by hand to create beautiful warm highlights.
