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.

Who doesn't love woolly bear caterpillars? In addition to being cute, for lack of a better adjective, they are the essence of resilience, hibernating during the winter, and then pupating in the spring, before hatching into the lovely Isabella tiger moth. This hibernation in larval form is why they may be the last and first caterpillars seen before and after the winter, acting as crawling "book-ends" to our cold season. They are also "generalists', meaning that they are not fussy about their diets, consuming various different greenery. This necklace features a woolly bear caterpillar along with one of its many food sources, violet leaves. I fabricate it out of Sterling silver and lacquered jeweler's brass, and carefully hand-paint it, and seal it with a coat of protective resin. The focal point measures 3" long by 1 3/8" wide and the Sterling chain is 20" long and adjustable to shorter lengths. It's a cool necklace that is sure to create smiles when worn.

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 protective resin. And wait! It gets better! 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.

Glasswing butterflies are yet another amazing facet of our natural world. Their wings are often clear, with perhaps minimal color, which allows them to blend in with their environment. The butterfly here is the Pink-tipped Clearwing Satyr (Cithaerias pireta). I have come up with a technique that allows me to add translucence to jewelry. This allows me to pay homage to clearwing butterflies. I carefully add small amounts of color to the wings which are then resined twice for durability. I hand fabricate them out of Sterling wire, and they are light and fun to wear. They measure 1" tall by .75" wide, not including the Sterling earring wires.
