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!

Two completed assemblage soldered pieces...

One of a Kind Silver Soldered Assemblage Fairey Vintage Art Deco Necklace...a true labor of love!

Enhancing and embellishing whimsical image using soft chalks.

Of course, there is always a touch of vintage Art Deco and Bling!

A generous mix of wire wrapped Fresh Water Pearls, Czech Crystals, carved Rose Beads, Antique Silver layered Bead Caps and...

The beautiful faceted Agates were purchased from one of my favorite Alemany Flea Market Vendors.

Judy travels to China twice a year and comes back with the most exquisite faceted gems for me and other lucky shoppers to purchase!

The Leather and Vintage Rhinestone Soldered Assemblage Cuff is also one of a kind. It is the fourth in my jewelry line.

I love working with spiritual images...repurposing vintage rhinestone jewels with silver soldering techniques. A bit Goth inspired meets Glam...

In creating this piece I was influenced by the beautiful women and jewelry of the Art Deco Era.

The Art Deco period originated in France at a time when women - who had been doing men's jobs while the men went off to war - began to express their new-found freedom...


This lovely lady has been hand enhanced by soft chalk pastels and German glass glitter and sits behind a silver soldered vintage optical lense. Her beauty further enhanced by soldered Art Deco rhinestone earrings and findings and securely affixed to an Art Deco marcasite finding. The back of the pendant has been finished with a reproduction antique silver filigree finding made from original molds of the early 1900's.
A generous mix of wire wrapped large faceted Ametriine (amethyst & citrine)bead capped stones, Czech crystals in deep purple, lavendar, saphire blue, light blue, champagne and faceted rock crystals. The closure has been hand made from a rhinestone vintage finding and securely hooks in place.

A statement piece and romantic decor...a wonderful gift as it is one of a kind!
