The whole piece is about 22" long, but can be worn shorter by moving the clasp over. $300.00

Steel Her Heart Necklace

I just finished this batch of heart necklaces. They are about 2" wide, and are forged out of 1/4" round steel stock, and have recycled glass bead accents. Hanging on adjustable waxed cotton cord, these necklaces are very versatile, and will look great on a variety of necklines. Steel has been coated with wax to protect it from rust, but should be kept away from water if possible. No hot tubbing in these babies!

Bangles

I have been on a little bracelet binge the last few days. I REALLY like the bangles. They are crafted from steel. I weld them together, and give them a slightly hammered texture. When I showed them to my 11 year old, he said they were magic bracelets. I believe we are all intuitive on some level, whether we know it or not, so I did not take this comment lightly. When I asked him why they were magic, he told me because when you're wearing them, you can have anything you want.
On that note, I have decided to call them Intention Bangles. With different colors and symbols, these bracelets can be used as meditiation tools, reminding the wearer to focus on what is desired in their life, enabling the manifestation of those desires.
I am offering some general suggestions for the colors and symbols, but you may interpret them any way you want. Pink is representative of love, while green is for growth or abundance. The 'eye' beads are a symbol of protection. $20.00 with one bead charm.

Black and white can represent balance(yin/yang). These colors can also be seen in the silver/steel combo. $35.00 with one bead charm and wrapped silver.


Blue is a nice peaceful color, and can help to focus one's attention on CALM. Brown is grounding, and also a combination of colors. $40.00 with three bead charms and silver accents. $25.00 with just the bead accents. I can spread them evenly around the bangle too.



The moon can represent many things. Female energy is just one thing that comes to mind.
$55.00 with five bead charms and one silver moon charm.



Again, the puzzle piece, which is the logo for Autism Awareness, but can also mean many other things for the wearer..putting one's life together, mysteries of life, or I like jigsaw puzzles :-)
$55.00 with five bead charms and one silver puzzle charm.





I also made some bangles with no charms that look awesome stacked together, or in combination with the charmed bangles. Plain steel bangles are $15.00 each. Yes, I said $15.00!!! With the silver accents, they're $35.00 each OMG Can you stand it? I love being able to make affordable art!













I coat the steel with wax to prevent rusting, and it will also prevent tarnish on the silver. The steel makes a great jingling sound with the silver. The first time I wore one, I kept thinking the cat was nearby with his jingling tags...;-)
Specific colors are not necessary. I will be happy to creat a fabulous combo just for you!
