Ingenious jewelry

I found a new (to me) vendor at the InterGem show today... Her display stopped me in my tracks. I wish my photographs did these justice. Her specialty is brass filigree stampings that she hand finishes with varying degrees of antiquing or patina. But her real gift, imho, is the unconventional way she has used these findings for her example display

Beautiful, thank you!

Her work looks lovely, would love to see more of this-- her Etsy and Artfire listings were the parts and findings, but I love the finished products.

Yes auntie, I would have liked very much to fork over my money for finished pieces. She did have a few, but concentrates on the findings.

Possibly?

[yo_vict]

Yup, same lady. But you will notice the lack of listings there! lol In fact, she directs you to the findings site!

Well, I had never seen the wrapping technique before and thought it was worth sharing. Do you have links to those other etsy folk that I could look at?

[yo_vict]

Hmmm... maybe I didn't look through enough pages, but I don't see the wrap technique, though they both have wonderful regular settings used in interesting combinations.

[yo_vict]

Yes! The jewel-by-nature is just the kind of thing I am talking about! I think it's a really cool idea, and worth sharing. I saw the morning glory and since I have seen pre-formed settings that look like that, I assumed that is what those were too. My mistake. BTW - what's with the snarky jaded attitude? I never said she was totally unique, or invented the idea or anything - I just thought it was different enough to be worth sharing.

Here's some more wrapped settings:

Oooo! Shiny pretties! "Rivka's Mom" sounded really familiar... I must not have looked through her other categories, but I think I have her button page bookmarked. Thanks for the head's up on the rest of her stuff!
