Authentic Antique Brass Jewelry


Greetings all!

Since we've been talking about brass the last few days and how to make it look wonderfully "antique" I thought you might enjoy seeing some of my jewelry that I made using authentic antique brass pieces that I was very lucky to find!

CLICK on them for a larger view!

Some of them reside in private collections and some are available in my Etsy store. Just click the link at the bottom of this page OR leave me a comment and I will respond as quickly as possible!

ENJOY!

The necklace below, was one of my very favorites and began with a very large antique brass finding and a plate from an antique pocket watch! Vintage wristwatch cases and an antique rhinestone piece complete this lovely piece!


This Steampunk Brooch below, began life as an antique back of a drawer pull! I added a shimmering 1920's watch face and gears from an antique pocket watch. A jewelry quality pin back is mounted securely.


This wildly enticing necklace began with an antique brass piece with WONDERFUL natural verdi gris patina! I added an antiqued brass beetle, a vintage watch movement and other fun bits and bobs!


The earrings below are made from antique brass buttons, antiqued brass settings and gears from antique pocket watches.


Another necklace that began life as a back plate from drawer. I added a brass bee and some other red and green accents.


"see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil"
This necklace and earring set uses an antique brass finding, 3 brass vintage monkey charms and various watch parts


SUCH a fun piece and not for the faint of heart! A large antique brass finding, a new brass antiqued bee, antique pocket watch gears, glass amber beads and 100 year old cuckoo clock chain make this necklace truly "one of a kind"!



I would be honored if you would check out my etsy store and please feel free to "convo" me with questions or comments! I would love to hear from you and I would love to include you in my next mailing for ideas, sales and give-aways!

Faithfully yours,

ON ETSY! The most beautiful Antique Necklace and Earring set I've seen in a long time AND free shipping!







If you would like to purchase this extraordinary set please go to:

Noble Studios Ltd.

For your approval today an absolutely FABULOUS necklace and earrings set made from all manner of enticing antique treasures. The addition of the beads and tiny brass crosses almost give this lovely piece a "rosary" feeling.

This luscious set began with a STUNNING Victorian piece of jewelry that features a gorgeous plum colored stone, lovely antique brass and tiny crystal rhinestones. I used the original purple glass beads and added them and the pendant, to some some delicate chain that is almost 100 years old. The glass bead bauble and burnished brass cross add the final breathtaking touch. The pendant itself measures 4" long and the chain measures 28" long but I am always willing to adjust the length at your request.

The earrings began with pieces from a charming damaged antique bracelet. I added the matching brass crosses and some high quality hand forged ear wires. These measure 2" with the ear wire adding about another 1" or so.


Each and every piece in my jewelry line has been meticulously designed and created in such a way as to last for years to come.

All finery will arrive in a handsome be-ribboned gift box making it the perfect remembrance for friends and loved ones alike.

Shipping costs always include insurance and delivery confirmation at no extra charge.

*********************************************

He was just a lowly sailor but he loved everything about it. The salty sea air, the mighty, unpredictable ocean blue and even the back breaking hard work. As he stood on the bow of his ship he wished he could stay here forever but they had just pulled into the dock at Steamworks Port and all the men were expected to go ashore.

Just as he turned to go he saw her. She was exquisite….her voluptuous body glistened with the salty sea and her lovely long hair bobbed gently on the surface of the water. Her iridescent scales displayed a play of lustrous colors like those of the rainbow and were blindingly ablaze in the summer sun. Just for a moment their eyes met but then she was gone, just as quickly as she had appeared, the last tip of her shimmering tail disappearing into the sea. She was glorious, captivating, bewitching but sadly unattainable. Yet, he had not a doubt that she would be in this lowly sailor’s dreams tonight.
