MOOOOOOO jewelry!







I was looking through my vintage ephemera and uncovered some FABULOUS antique milk bottle caps! I was so enthralled with them that I decided to create some rings featuring each and every antique milk bottle cap I owned!

They all have DELIGHTFUL vintage graphics in classic colors! I hope you will enjoy wearing them as much as i did making them!

Take a look in my etsy shop for the lot and lots more GOODIES!!

Noble Studios Ltd.












Each image was carefully mounted in a wonderful (adjustable) deep bezel silver ring blank and covered with two coats of collage medium. After that was dry, I mixed two part resin and carefully poured it in. The resin magnifies the image and looks futuristic but because of the antique images still look wonderfully vintage!

There are 10 in all (see last pics) and each one is uniquely different BECAUSE they are assembled by hand. Any slight imperfections are on the original bottle cap which only add to the vintage beauty and make these truly rings that will turn heads! (ie:the staple OR the pull tab that is on the original bottle cap)

Thank you so much for looking!

Faithfully yours,

Steampunk GOTHIC CROSS brooch vintage watch parts ANTIQUE jewelery



"For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life.....John 3:16"

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

I love each and every piece I list on Etsy but every once in a while a piece "creates itself" that I just ADORE!

Take a peek at this one!










If you want to take a look at it in my shop just click on the link below:

Gothic Cross on Etsy

I started with an antiqued silver filigree and added a tiny gothic cross in the very center. The cross rises above the other treasures.....4 different "sections" around the filigree. A large gold gear with a tiny silver engraved wheel (with STARS!)from an antique watch and 3 different vintage wristwatch faces with gears behind them.

A fetching little victorian brass heart graces the bottom along with two different styles of brass chain.

This piece measures 4" (with chains) by 1 1/2" and is mounted with a jewelry quality pin back.

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.

The story behind Noble Studios Ltd. Steampunk Cameo Earrings







Happy April everyone!


I've been sharing some of my jewelry that have stories behind them and here's one of my favorites!

The earrings are made from actual antique cameos and there's a lovely story to go along with it!






"She waited by the window but was careful to conceal herself from the light as she did not want to appear too eager. But she was.....she was so in love with him that the very thought of him took her breath away. Every waking minute she spent dreaming about the time when they would be together again.

His parents did not approve of their love. Her family lived in a small cottage close to a section of London everyone called "The Gutter" and his family lived just outside the pearly gates of Halifax Park. His parents concern went unheeded as they spent many hours making secret plans for the future.

She was dressed in a breathtaking velvet evening gown that her mother had arranged to borrow from her cousin. It had yards of delicate handmade lace and layer upon layer of billowy petticoats that rustled even when she simply took a breath. Her ears were adorned with her Grandmother's antique cameos and she felt like a queen. He was dark and handsome and she could only imagine how every eye would be upon them as they floated into the Grand Magna Opera House.

This was the very first time she had been invited to such a lavish and magnificent place but she had no fear, as she would be with him.

As she stood there waiting for him in the shadows of her humble home she couldn't help but wonder if tonight would be the night that her life would change forever."

The illusive mermaid of Steamworks Port!



Here's a fun piece that inspired the following story snippet!

"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.
