BoHo vintage Pretty Bohemian Red Stone floral Textured brass adjustable Ring

I actually have two of these available so feel free to get both and shipping on the second is absolutely free!

This ring has a very beautiful textured adjustable brass/goldtone band, engraved with gorgeous scrollwork and a succulently delicious colorful stone that has a coralish red base and muticolored detailing, very well made and surprising heavy.

This ring, as is without adjusting is about a 7, and can easily fit up to a 9 or 9.5. The stone and setting measure 1 inch high by 3/4 inch wide.

This is a very versatile piece, could be worn to a dinner party with a slinky dress or to a concert in a floaty hippy skirt... the kind of ring any girl/lady/hippy chick needs :)

This comes giftboxed, Shipped First class Insured in the US and Priority with a tracking number elsewhere.

Green Honesty featuring Snowbell Jewelry

It's not that easy being green...

I had to link you to this blog post by Snowbell Jewelry, a fellow Twitterer and Etsy Artisan, after reading her latest blog post. I am a person who tries her best to be "green" and hear people preaching to recycle, precycle, and upcycle all the time and that's all well and good in theory to most people but the truth of the matter is that it does take a modicum of discomfort and diligence to do the right thing.

Kudos for the honesty and *high five* for trying!

Vintage Owl Pendant Steampunk Pearl Eyes Move when you pull Chain

Vintage goldtone metal owl is mounted on a nice warm brown wood pendant of a generous 2 1/2 inches tall by 1 1/2 wide.

It's a really cool steampunk-y style in that the eyes are articulated and they are mechanical... inside the owl they are attached to a chain that runs down behind his tail and when you pull on them, the eyes raise and look right at you!

I love steampunk stuff, but get frustrated that they normally aren't as mechanical as they look. This is really cool!

PHOENIX FLOWER necklace of Recycled Paper and Staple with beads

PHOENIX FLOWER necklace is of recycled paper and staple with beads.

I used a brass or copper heavy-duty staple I took out of a box, bent it with a cool little tool I have, mounted it with beads (the green one is made of paper), and topped it with a vintage flower button. It is accented with wooden and vintage plastic beads. All rough edges are safely and tightly turned in for happy wearing!It is on a silver box chain, 20 inches long.

It is shipped Free of Charge via First class in the US and for a small fee elsewhere via Priority Mail with a tracking number provided. "Phoenix Flower" rises from the ashes of a landfill and flies safely to you in a pretty aqua giftbox :) .

Happy Birthday, Shell!

Fabric Bangle of 100% Recycled Materials

Ok, so I will be creating and publishing a tutorial on these this week... this was just too cool.

I made this out of a nice sturdy hair dye box, two plastic shopping bags, and old curtain, a dress shirt, and a ribbon :)

It's available on Etsy, click any of the pics to visit the listing.

Cute Wrist cuff / anklet / choker in Gray and Spring Green

This soft crocheted wrist adornment can be worn in a number of ways.

The Gray eco-yarn has a deep shiny luster and the cuff is edged in a lacy, energizing, tangy, spring green. There are four holes edged in the same juicy green and the crocheted lacing is the same citrusy key lime color. This is totally adjustable and may also be worn as an anklet,a choker, a garter, or even waist accessory, if you swap out the lacing for something longer like a ribbon or shoe lace. It measures 8 inches (20 cm) long by three inches (7.62 cm) wide.

There is a small hidden pocket concealed softly inside, good for a folded bill, a candy, or some other little favor you may hold dear :).

The cuff is machine washable and washing it will only make it better, felting it and making it a more cohesive yet soft fabric, just dry flat and shape by hand.

This comes to you in a reusable organza bag via First Class mail in the US and Priority elsewhere.

Daisy Chain Headband or Fabric Necklace with Peace Sign button

Daisy Chain Head band can also be a fabric necklace or even a pretty Flower belt for a medium to small person. With it's little pearly Peace Sign button, it conveys a serene message while keeping you in sweet style.

It is made from a vintage daisy trim affixed to an ethereal sheer white ribbon and is adorned with a vintage pearl button that I added a bit of decoupage to.

It measures 34 inches or 86.36 centimeters from one end of the ribbon to the other. The peace sign is glazed in iridescent pixie dust and tops a 5 inch dangle of pretty flowers.

Being that this is totally adjustable, this could also be used as a fabric necklace, a belt, a hatband, armband, or wrapped to form a cuff bracelet.

The ribbon makes it sturdy enough to be tied snugly without damage to your "Daisy Chain".

It comes prettily presented in a silver Ravena Relics gift box. :)

Repurposed Vintage 80s post Earrings w bonus Upcycled Ring in pink, blue, yellow, purple, green

These vintage 80's metal circular disc earrings were a plain Royal Blue until I got hold of them :)

I used some tissue paper from some 40th BDay gifts and some Weldbond non-toxic glue and turned them into pretty stained-glassish treasures....

I used an old "bone ring" bought from a vintage store and used the same technique, installing a few salvaged beads on it for some sparkly shine. It is a larger size, like an 8 to a nine so it is good on an index finger or thumb or larger sized finger.

This jives with any pink, yellow, green, purple or blue color scheme and POPS!!! with vivid color.

This set comes giftboxed.

Please reuse the box and keep it from becoming landfill...

This blue-tiful bangle is made of 90% recycled materials. The inital base is a piece of recycled aluminum foil, washed, and then wrapped with unwanted photocopies and paper mache of old phone book and then finished with a pink piece of recycled copy paper.
