| Copper / Silver Sideways Amulet Item
Number: Price: $275 |
Made from Hammered silver and copper, the pieces are riveted together with tiny clips of copper lamp wire. Counting the bead at the bottom of the piece and those in the strands there are nine bright blue glass beads, handmade by those friends of mine in New York. There are six handmade bone hairpipes in the strands, and ten, hand- hammered and rolled silver coil spacers. Four long hammered silver dangles beneath. A very traditional and proud 18th century theme. Adjustable 2mm cord. | |
| Copper / Silver Oval Pendant Item Number: Price:
$275 |
Another extensive extrapolation of 18th century skills and techniques. Hammered copper and silver with lots of tiny rivets; there is a dangle below with an Original White French Cross Trade Bead and a hammered silver swirl. There are eight more of these French Cross Beads in the strands, as well as ten hammered and rolled silver coil spacers. Strung on an adjustable 2mm leather cord. | |
| Bone Maple Horn Pendant Necklace Item Number: Price: $175 |
This piece should actually be with Necklaces, but it fits in this inventory box a little better. The pendant itself is bone, black Bison horn and Tiger Maple, from “our tree”. The strands feature natural bone beads, as well as 4 original Grey Chevron Trade Beads and multiple silver rolled-wire spacers. Strung on adjustable 2mm leather cord | |
| Blue Jay Pendant Item Number: Price: $400 |
This is one of my best and most extensive pieces. It unfolded as I was discovering the new world of metalworking. The pendant is of Bison bone with an inset of braided, pounded silver wire, and there is an ‘inset’ silver swirl, below, also inset. The scrimshaw is one I am very proud of,; A blue jay, on a Scotch Pine limb. It is very clean and very crisp. The hair in the photograph is one of Sophie’s. She is our “shop dog”, and you will see more of her soon. The hanging of the pendant from the 2mm leather cord, is accomplished with a “tier” of beads and hammered silver coils. The beads are hand made Cobalt Blue Beads, provided by my friends in New York, and are inter-spaced with deer rib beads and silver spacers. This pendant has my “easy clasp” hooks, and the fit is 16”. |
