Steampunk and Gemstone Jewelry
I'm LOVING steampunk jewelry!! Here are some of my latest necklaces.
Check out this steam punk necklace which includes a bullet, a door piece, spring, bolt, a watch face, a crystal, chain, beads, and copper wire wrap.
And here's a close up of the focal which includes a tiny lightbulb, watch gears, a flower, a key, a washer and a copper wrapping.
This is a fun steampunk necklace too. It includes watch parts, a key, beautiful green beads and a really cool latch.
Now for the gemstone jewelry. This first necklace is made with vintage cloth buttons and a crystal wire wrapped focal.
Here's a close up of the fabulous focal.
This next necklace is adorned with an incredible uniquely shaped gemstone in the form of an X or a cross. It's hung from a double strand of black and silver beads.
The focal is a glowing opalescent gem. You can purchase these items at the Alpine Festival of Arts and Crafts in Helen, Georgia.
Please let me know which one is your favorite.

A Sampling of Jewelry at my New Shop in Helen, Georgia
I'm branching out in my jewelry designs and have joined the Alpine Festival of Arts and Crafts in Helen, Georgia to present my new jewelry designs.
I've added STEAMPUNK jewelry which includes funky items like bullets, watch parts, keys, dragons in cages, tiny light bulbs, etc...
I've included some bone beads and carved bone pieces from Africa too. I've recently added some vintage button necklaces and wire wrapped sliced geodes and gemstones. And of course, sometimes I mix lots of different materials together.
If your looking for UNIQUE and INTERESTING one of a kind jewelry, please visit my new shop in the fabulous alpine village of Helen nestled in the Georgia mountains. While you're there join the party and have some German beer.
