I have always loved jewelry. Eclectic stuff, pieces that show my personality. I wear a lot of jewelry, always have. I have always liked my jewelry to reflect what I'm into. I love silver.
I'm also very crafty, something else I've always been since I was young. I started making jewelry a few years ago because I must be creative to be happy. I knew I could make jewelry, I had fooled around with it before, refitting store bought pieces for myself. So off to the craft store I went and bought myself all the supplies I would need. I started selling it to co-workers and friends. I would get a lot of compliments on the custom jewelry I was wearing from strangers so I decided to take it to the next level. I was selling at flea markets and craft fairs. Everyone started telling me I should open an online shop, so here I am!
I don't make highly stylized over complicated or over the top beaded pieces. that's not my style. I make stuff I would wear. I prefer to make necklaces using wired beads (like how rosaries are strung) instead of stringing on thread or wire. I do use the stringing technique occasionally though as you will see. I like funky, gothic, fantasy, rock and roll and medieval and renaissance looking pieces. I also use a lot of spiritual or pagan looking accessories.
I also don't use overly expensive materials. I'll work with true gold if asked. I like to keep it affordable. I try to use the best high quality glass beads I can find. Czech glass is very nice, but I have to admit some of it comes from China. I do use Swarovski crystals quite often. I use some sterling sliver and sliver plate. I like pewter. I work with wood and carved bone. I do have some polished semi-precious stones I work with. Most of the findings and hooks are sliver plate or stainless steel. All is hypo-allergenic.
I work from home on my free time. I love making new creations. I can take custom orders.
I am open to suggestions and feedback. Any questions, just ask!
I hope you like my jewelry creations and come back often to check out new creations!
thank you, Anne
Eclectic Custom Made Jewelry handcrafted by Me, AnneMarie, inspired by all the things that inspire me: Fantasy, Gothic, Heavy Metal, Vampires, Faeries, Pagans and Medieval times. All jewelry is custom made and one of a kind. I use sturdy, affordable materials. All beads are cut glass or crystal, glass pearls, quartz, carved bone and semi-precious stones. No plastic beads is ever used! I use high quality Czech cut glass beads that really sparkle, polished semi-precious stones or Swarovski crystal beads. The earring findings are mostly hypo-allergenic stainless steel, brass, pewter, Tibetian silver or silver plate. Some pieces are pewter, and I have some that contain sterling silver. I can do custom orders and will use 14K gold or sterling silver hooks and findings at your request with a deposit. I can create custom pieces to your color/design specifics so just ask! If you see something you like and want it in a different color, don't be afraid to ask. any other questions just email me.
