The Second set in the Metallics Collection.
I
love wire coiling, but this is only my second or third time using it in
one of my pieces. I got the design from my favourite jewellery making
magazine (Make Jewellery), however I tweaked it a bit more to my liking.
I got the inspiration from the magnesium coils we used to burn in
school chemistry lessons, where we would often add dyes to make it burn
pretty colours. Also from sparklers at Halloween - remember trying to
write your name in the air as fast as you could.

The set is just
the necklace and the earrings, but together they make real statement.
I've used "Vivid Green" and "Dark Purple" in the set pictured, but you
can choose which two colours of copper wire you would like.

| Colours available... |
The
necklace is multiple enamel coated copper wire coils (try saying that
three times fast!) and faceted glass beads, which catch the light
beautifully. They hang from a silver plated cable chain with a silver
plated toggle clasp. It measures about 64cm/25.2in, but I can adjust it
if you would like it longer or shorter - just let me know.
The earrings are wire coils spiralled around a silver wire coil, with another faceted glass bead at the bottom.
Please let me know whether you would prefer...
Low Nickel Earwires
Nickel Free Earwires
OR
Clip-on
If you are unsure whether you have a nickel allergy, I recommend choosing the Nickel Free, just to be on the safe side.
Necklace: £70.00
Earrings: £35.00

This is the first set in my new collection - The Metallics Collection.
As
Lithium is one of the lightest metals I didn't want to make this set
heavy, so I used seed beads and small glass beads in some of my
favourite beadwork patterns to make this stunning set. I use a random
selection of delica seed beads, so every set will vary in appearance
slightly. The glass beads used are half silver half AB, so they reflect
many different colours in the light.

The choker features a
gunmetal glass dagger focal hanging from loops on a right-angle weave
"chain". Although the choker will be made to measure, I will add a
small extender chain for comfort.
The earrings are 26mm in
diameter, and as usual you may choose which earring style you would
prefer. If you have an allergy to nickel or you're not sure, I
recommend choosing the Nickel Free Earwires.
The bracelet will
also be made to measure. Please include your wrist size in centimeters
when you order and allow 2cm for the clasp.
The ring is made with
elastic so it stretches slightly, please still include your ring size
when ordering (U.K. or U.S. sizings are fine)
Necklace: £70.00
Earrings: £38.00
Bracelet: £60.00
Ring: £45.00

So it's a well known fact that it's always dark and grey in England,
with only the occasional rays of sunshine. I made this set to reflect
that. It's comprised of silvery acrylic connectors, grey seed beads and
milky glass beads to represent the clouds and clear yellow glass beads
for the few rays we get.
The necklace is very long, so it has no clasp.
Length: 41cm/just over 16" - from end to end it would be 82cm/just over 32"

This was originally going to be part of my new collection, however I
like it better as a stand alone item. It's a modern tribal/punk style
necklace with acrylic coloured pepper daggers and silver acrylic spikes
on black leather thong. You may choose which colour pepper daggers you
would like from the colours listed on Etsy.
It's a long necklace (14 1/2 in or 37cm), so there is no clasp. It should fit over your head.

Another from the recycled bag. I think this used to be a button but I'm
not entirely sure. Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll agree it makes a
beautiful ring. It's a white acrylic pearl button, and has a flaw which
you can see at the bottom in the second photo. It's adjustable at the
bottom so it should fit most fingers.
