Something a little different today – a cute little teapot bookmark!

Teapot charm dangles off a metal “Shepard’s Crook” style bookmark. It’s accented with Swarovski crystal and glass pearls.

Cuddle up with a good book and a cuppa when you use this cute teapot bookmark! Made from glass pearls and accented with genuine Swarovski crystal, this metal hook bookmark will hold your place in your favorite book while you put the kettle on.

The charm dangle is about 1.25″ and the total length of the bookmark itself is 5″ It will fit anything from thin paperback or a thick, hardcover book. (As you can see, it easily marks my place in the large, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book with ease.) The bookmark is thin and will not warp or damage your books.

Just a cute little piece for anyone who likes tea and reading! You will receive the exact piece shown. It’s a one-of-a-kind as I do not have any further teapot components on hand.

Genuine ivory freshwater pearls delicately fill out this beautiful, bridal and wedding inspired Tree of Life Pendant set in Sterling Silver wire.

When I saw these beautiful pearls I knew I had to snag them. They are some of the absolute most beautiful pearls I’ve ever been lucky enough to work with. Very high quality and luxe.Though an undyed soft white/ivory color, the pearlescent nature of them gives them hints of blue and pink depending on how the light hits them. Just stunning. I used about 14″ of pearls in this piece. It’s just full of pearls!

I made this piece with a beautiful, formal event such as a Wedding in mind. It made me think of a bride glowing on her wedding day, walking down the isle with a unique and gorgeous creation at her throat. It’s just such a striking and stunning piece and would look beautiful in both ceremony itself and in photos for years to come.

You don’t have to be a bride though to enjoy this lovely piece. Pearl is also the birthstone of June so would make a great gift for a June baby. And, it also kinda reminds me of a Winter scene as well. Maybe you just like the striking look – no other reason necessary!

One of a kind pendant available HERE in the shop.

Adding new items to the shop to help pay for my medical bills. Here’s one of the newest creations!

A little spin on my typical bird nest pendants, this one features a four egg nest in champagne colored glass pearls but also has a dangle accent of additional pearls. It’s set on an 18.5″ Figaro chain.

I started with a simple bird nest. Non-tarnish sterling silver plated wire makes up the nest and nestled inside are four glass pearls in a champagne (taupe) color. Dangling on one side of the nest are two chains accented with more matching glass pearls in two sizes. The dangles hang asymmetrically off the one side for a neat accent.

The pendant is set on a sterling silver plated Figaro chain measuring approximately 18.5″ long. It’s finished with a lobster claw clasp. The bird nest and dangle measure approximately 3″ long.

This piece could easily be a bridal jewelry item with it’s pretty champagne tones. It would look lovely with a wedding dress and could symbolize the start of a new life together. Pearl is also the birthstone of June so it might make a nice gift for someone who’s a June baby. And, bird nests also make lovely gifts for Mothers and Grandmothers as well. Or, maybe you just like it and that’s perfectly fine too!

Every time I list my Under A Full Moon Tree of Life pendant, it sells out. I don’t make them very frequently but I finally had a chance to make another one up, so I’ve listed it in the shop.

“Under A Full Moon” is a unique take on the popular Tree of Life pendants I’m famous for. There are no “leaves” in this piece. Instead, it celebrates bare branches of a tree against a night sky. This pendant is handmade using painstaking wire-wrapping techniques. Dark silver colored wire frames and encircles the pendant, and is then used as the roots, trunk and branches of the tree. This tree is bare of leaves like one would see in Winter and features a large, white pearl round disk “full moon” behind the branches. This piece has a very mystical feeling to me and a stillness to it as well.
