What summer would be complete without the experience of seeing the flashing lights of lightning bugs on a warm evening? This Lightning Bug Necklace turns this into a year-round experience. I made it out of fine and Sterling silver, enameled it with vitreous (kiln fired glass) enamels, and then added a little magic so that it actually glows just like the real thing (after it is charged by putting it near a bright light for a minute. It hangs (and sometimes flies from) and 18" oxidized Sterling necklace.

Crows or ravens, ravens or crows? The choice as to which remarkable bird these earrings pay tribute to is yours. I am a fan of both, so am not leaning either way. Both birds have a tendency to collect colorful and shiny objects, which is a trait that many of us can respect and relate to, speaking for myself, anyway. I make them out of Sterling, jeweler's brass, a miniature coin (cool, eh?) and a snippet of shiny chain. They are handpainted with enamel paints, and sealed with jeweler's resin. They measure 1 1/4" tall by 1" wide, not including the Sterling earring wires. 

And as an aside. they were inspired by the recent find of a raven's skull under a stand of tall white pines where we hear the ravens talking (and they really do talk!). I considered this to be a gift from the world, and the earrings are my response....which doesn't mean that they couldn't be crows, of course.

It is always a thrill to encounter a bird's nest, and even more so when it is cradling eggs. This bird nest necklace is a testament to this. It is hand-fabricated out of Sterling silver and features fresh-water pearls. The focal point measures 1" tall by 2" wide and the total length with the oxidized Sterling chain is 19". It is a sweet necklace that resonates with those who thrive in the great outdoors, those who cherish what it means to be a parent, as well as all the bird-lovers amongst us.

Note re custom nests: I am happy to accommodate special requests re the number of eggs in the nest. It comes with 3 peal eggs, but if more or less are desired, within reason (not sure if 24 eggs would fit...) please let me know in the notes. I will confirm this via email. 

"You'll have a lot more respect for a bird after you try making a nest." ---Cynthia Lewis

The White Mountain Fritillary is a very special species of butterfly. Fritillaries are found around the world, but this one is only lives above 4000 feet and in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains of NH. Because of the short season there, its life cycle spans two years. These earrings pay tribute to the butterfly. I make them out of Sterling and jeweler's brass, and apply a variety of media to hand-color them, including a final coat of jewelry resin to protect them. They measure 1 1/2" tall by 3/4" wide, not including their Sterling earring wires. They are light to wear and make great gifts!

The Twelve-spotted skimmer is a dragonfly that is found across North America. It is distinctive in that its wings have contrasting spots of black and white. These twelve-spotted skimmer wing earrings are a tribute to such a special creature. I fabricate them out of Sterling silver wire, and then use a technique that I developed to create translucency in jewelry. I add the spots, layer on protective resin, et voila, they are ready to fly. They measure 1 1/4" long by 3/8" wide, not including their Sterling earring wires. They are light as a dragonfly to wear and make the perfect gift!

One of the seven natural wonders of the world is the monarch butterfly migration. Both the individual monarch butterfly and its caterpillar stage are critical components of this miracle on earth.

Mushrooms symbolize the beauty and magic of nature, and the amanita muscaria is the quintessential mushroom. It is the mushroom that was featured in Alice in Wonderland, and was the subject of European folklore, and often represented in Christmas tree ornaments. These earrings pay homage to these mushrooms, and to the fields and forests where they are found. They are handcrafted from jeweler's brass and Sterling, and carefully hand-painted, and sealed with 4 protective clear coats, the final one being a jewelry grade resin for the ultimate durability. The stems dance lightly beneath the caps, and bits of the decorative elements will glow in the dark after being exposed to bright light for several minutes. The measure a scant 3/4"wide and 1" long without the earring wires. These earrings are light and fun to wear, and make great gifts, too.
