Handmade Stamped Necklace...Carpe Diem

Hand stamped Sterling Silver Necklace...Carpe Diem

Today, I have decided to daily try and post a picture and link of one of my pieces of jewelry that I have created.  I have been having trouble selling anything as the market has seen such a decline in business.  My hope is to inspire each of you to be creative!  I hope you will enjoy these pretties!  Thank you for taking the time to look and I would love it if you could share them in some way.  I would like to add a little treat, type in freeshipping (no space) when you check out at my shop on Etsy called Designs By Tahra.  This will allow all of my followers and whomever you tweeted or shared to have free shipping!  Would like to hear how the economy has affected your lives!

A Few Samples of My New Pieces

I just wanted to share some of the pretty things that I have been working on.  I so enjoy playing around and making things with my hands.  It is difficult as the household holds many interruptions and it is a challenge to get time to myself to work on making jewelry.  I am sure that each of you have felt the same way as you have embarked on "Motherhood."  I would love it if you would tell me what you think of the jewelry that I have listed and what would you like to see.  My goal is to be relevant to what is "in" at the moment so that I can have more sales. I would be grateful for any clever input. Here is a sample of a collage of gemstone charms put to a necklace.  It has Peruvian Blue Opal, African Amethyst, Mystic Flourite, and Rainbow Mystic Aquamarine.  What do you think of that combo!

These earrings are such an amazing cobalt blue chalcedony.  You have to see these little beauties.  They are suspended from a sterling silver kidney earwire that has been oxidized. Take a look at these here:

I decided to be extra creative and use leather instead of sterling silver chain to finish this necklace off.  I used rainbow mystic aquamarine and african amethyst on this sterling silver hammered link to give it some interest.  It is finished with a sterling silver lobster clasp.  I hope you'll love it!
