Embelished Soldered Vintage Rhinestone Assemblage Necklace, etc...

Recent one of a kind Creations...


Inspired and deeply touched by the beautiful image of a hand painted Italian portrait ~~~ I felt the need to create a one of a kind piece to include her.

Pendant.....hand embelished by using powdered pignments and German glass glitter. Copper wrapped foil and silver soldered crystal with created bail. Hand set and individually soldered floral and grape embelishment findings ~~~ accented with a bit of vintage rhinestone bling.

Necklace.....hand wire wrapped Rainbow Agate in beautiful blues. Accented with multiple sized facted two-tone Czech crystals, abalone beads, gray pearls and vintage rhinestone rondelles. A hand oxidized rhinestone magnetic ball closure securely completes this multiple necklace beaded chain.

Now available in my
Etsy Shop


























I have always loved images of the Madonna and Spiritual visions...

Hand embellished Madonna photo using powdered pigments and German glass glitter (to obtain the multi color glitter I meticulously hand painted the glitter using the pignmented powder with a small brush). Distressing techniques were used to age the image. Copper foil wrapped and silver soldered behind glass. Individual pewter flowers were hand soldered with vintage rhinestones and Czech Picasso Crystal accents.
Antique seam binding connected and wrapped with faceted Labadorite round and rondelle beads (beautiful sapphire blue facets that have lovely flash), vintage silvertone carved rose beads, faceted AB Czech crystals, Picasso, Czech two tone crystals with wrapped and hammered distressed wire connectors.

Definitely One of a Kind...beautiful!

Available in my Etsy Shop.

One of a Kind Vintage Assemblage "Fem" meets "Goth" Necklace by Romancing the Bling...



I love how this piece turned out!


Every once in a while I stray to the dark side of my creativity and I am moved to create in a Gothic Style...





I think she looks lovely in her created hand sewn frock!

During one of my flea market excusions, I purchased a vintage tattered piece of lace with hand sewn beading (held together with small safety pins). It was literally falling apart, but it was beautiful and I knew I it would bring inspiration to me. The spider and web are earrings and were also sewn to her gown. The back of her gown is also finished with a tulle bustle, distressed bow and a touch of bling.

Do you see the three tiny beaded bracelets gracefully dangling from her wrist...click on the images to enlarge the photos.


The necklace is composed of mostly vintage components...more vintage beaded lace with wrapped and sewn chaining, metal beads, a mix of Czech crystals, fresh water pearls, wire earring and a tiny 1920's rhinestone pot metal brooch for a touch of vintage bling.






I took these two photo's during the night using a flash. A bit spooky...don't ya think?

I'm off to create another... (smile)



Have a lovely day!

Jewelry Affaire Magazine

The following one of a kind jeweled creations by Romancing the Bling will be featured in Jewelry Affaire Magazine in the Spring 2011 edition.
Originally they were to be featured in the Fall October edition, but due to an overwhelming amount of art received the magazine contacted me regarding the situation and the need to delay until 2011.
A bit disappointing as it would have been so much fun and flattering to be included with so many amazing artists.
I feel so blessed to be looking forward to this amazing opportunity into the Spring of next year! :)

These beauties will be listed this week in my
Etsy Shop!

She was my first purchase this morning from a lovely lady by the name of Donna. I look forward to seeing what she has whenever I got to this flea market. Donna is such a loving and kind person and is always available with such a cheerful way about her and lot's of hugs!

This beautiful spiritual vision has been placed in my studio to bring me inspiration~

For me it's ALWAYS about the BLING!!! Some of these beauties need some TLC and i'll be digging through my vintage rhinestones to restore them to perfection!
