Boleyn Earrings - Renaissance

Boleyn Earrings - Earrings Fit for a Queen - Renaissance Costume Jewelry

Here are the matching earrings to the necklace I made. The earrings on the series "The Tudors" are totally different. They had pearl dangles. I chose to do the earrings different.

Boleyn Necklace - Fit for a Queen- Renaissance

The Boleyn Necklace is what I call it - Inspiration from the series "The Tudors".

Fit for a Queen is what I say.

This is what I came up with at first but it did not make an impact on me, and I wanted to put my own personality into the design. In the photo below I am using faux pearls and metal base findings. It took me a few days to find what I needed in my stash of goodies that I have had for many years.


I had to find the right beads to go with the bead caps that I had - opening and closing drawer compartments and shaking my head. Finally I remembered that I had some beads in a different area that would compliment what I wanted.





I have had these beads in my stash for so long I shined them up and they are good to go! I made a wire wrap so that I could hang a chain "tassel" look.


I will be making a few more items that might represent Renaissance jewelry. I will be listing this in my Etsy store in the near future, so be sure to check my facebook page you will find my online link there.

Spring Solaris Jewelry Collection

Here is what is new for Spring from Enchanted Pathways-Solaris Jewelry Collection.


Our Solaris Jewelry Collection consist of metal base findings such as, silver plated, gold plated, gun metal, brass, copper materials, glass beads, and/or semi-precious gem-stones. Items will be listed with what materials are used in the piece that is up for auction.

I have the same care in making my Solaris Collection as I do when making my high end pieces. =)

Necklace work in progress. Square chain - metal base finding with faux pearls


Here is a piece I was working on for our Spring Solaris Collection.
Here are two necklaces I made with extra chain I had in two different sizes. I am trying to use up my stash before acquiring new stuff.


Finished pieces. Making or stringing the items are not what takes so long - It is the designing of a piece. My pieces usually are by accident. I finally came up with this design, only to have taken it apart about 5 times before finally coming up with this since I didn't have enough materials to work with. I don't like to waste, so I make do with what I have.


More to come in the near future for my Renaissance Collection for those who go to Renaissance Fares.

Air Plant - Bling it up!!!!

I love these cute plants they call "Air Plants"?

I wanted to decorate my own air plant. However, I didn't like that I had to poke a wire through it. I cut a piece of wire - wire wrapped it to a closed jump ring. I took the wire and poked a hole through the air plant. I left enough room so I could had some more beads and a heart charm at the bottom of the plant. Now that it is done it hangs from a chain from my plants on my porch.
I sparkles a lot by the plants, there is no sparkle here :/




A closer look at the bottom =)

Beaded Foot Jewelry

Yes, I know, I know.... I should be unpacking!!!!

I was excited when I ran across pieces that needed to be repaired or tweaked.
I had to fix this one! Great for the beach foot wear!

I made this in 1987. I made this with thin sewing elastic, faux pearls, glass bugle beads, and black glass beads. I have decided I to re-string it since the elastic has stretched out so much. I am glad that the elastic did not completely rot away!

Beaded Key Cuff

I started this beaded key cuff December 2011. This is as far as I got for working on it in the evenings for two weeks. While unpacking and getting my studio functional I came across this bracelet. I decided to work on it for about 20 minutes. I am almost done.

I keep fining things and work on them for a little bit. I just need to get unpacked and then work on my items. I am running around in circles.. ;)
