Twisted Oval Copper Earrings

My Hello and welcome to "Fifty Fathoms Down". Today I have a pair of copper earrings to add to my site.

These are made of 100% copper. They have a lot of movement to them. The large ovals are twisted copper so they catch the light nicely.

These earrings are 1-1/8" long and 9/16" at the widest part of the large oval.

They are very lightweight.

These earrings will be selling for $12 and free first class shipping in the USA.  I send them in the lightest package I can in a container that will not crush the earrings.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in to see my creation,

Antique Brass Leaf and Ladybug Earrings

And the ladybugs are made using baked polymer clay. The antique brass base metal highlights the ladybugs nicely. The leaf hangs 3/4" from the ear wire. They are lightweight and can go with so may other pieces of jewelry. Click on the photo for a closer view.

Copper and Jasper Beaded Bracelet

Hello and welcome! Today I have a bracelet to post. I had the stones so long that I forgot what they were. I bought them to a beading group I am in and the consensus is that they are Jasper.  The colors are very rich looking. I joined them with strong copper wire.

The bracelet itself is 7-1/8" and with the clasp and jump ring at the end it measures 8". So if your wrist is 8", this bracelet will not fit you.  When I hold beading classes I often bring 1" x 11" strips of copier paper to class. I have my students wrap it around their wrist. Not tight and not loose, just exactly around their wrist. Then I have them mark where the end piece meets the part of the strip going around. This is the size of their wrist. Once you add the clasp you have the extra space you need to make that bracelet comfortable.  I would also have friends measure their wrists this way so when I was making a bracelet with them in mind I would have their size and could easily surprise them with a fun bracelet. So wrap that paper around your wrist so you know what size your wrist is and then you can go from there when purchasing bracelets from me.  I will always post the post the measurements of the items I make. And today I'm including two pictures so you can see what the clasp looks like too. Click on the photo(s) for a closer view.

This bracelet sells for $12.00 and free shipping. My web store is in the process of being replaced and should be up and running in a couple of weeks. Webmasters have tons of projects going on at one time and I think they work a little bit each day on each one! LOL. Anyway, I will eventually have a new web store and it will make purchasing a lot easier (like it used to be). In the meantime you can contact my by clicking the icon on the sidebar at the right.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's bracelet,

Copper, Chrysoprase, and Czech Glass Earrings

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a unique pair of earrings to post. My web store is not working right now but I will be posting items on here until it's up and running. You can email me with any questions, the address is located on the sidebar. Please read on to know more about these earrings.

These earrings are made of hammered copper, Chrysoprase, and Czech pressed glass. They measure about 1-1/2" long from the end of the ear wire. They are super lightweight and have beautiful hues of green. 

I give the measurements of the piece itself and not include the ear wire because people wear their earrings differently. Some wear the wire further into the piercing and others not so much plus some change out the ear wire for something else they prefer.  So it's easier to just give the length of the piece and you can go from there. 

I make my own headpins so the beaded ends on them could vary a little, though I do try to match the size of the ends as much as possible.  They are handmade after all!

Thank you for stopping by to see today's creation,
Wanda

Lodalite Butterfly Earrings

Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m happy you found your way here. Today I have a pair of beautiful purple Lodalite earrings with copper. The butterflies lay behind the wire wrapped Lodalite beads. The beads are wrapped using using handmade copper balled headpins. They dangle from the ear wire. Care was made to make sure the butterflies face the opposite directions so they will mirror each other. They are lightweight and they measure about 1/2″ long from the end of the ear wire. They are perfect for day or evening wear. Lodalite is a non-porous stone so the earrings can easily be cleaned with a mild jewelry cleaner. You can purchase these earrings in my secure web web store.  Click here to be taken there. You will be taken to this pair of earrings so you don't have to hunt around for them, but while you are there click on the title of the blog in the upper left corner (Just One More Bead) and it will open the entire site so you can see all of the fun treasures there!
