Bluebird...

Remember that sweet little French enamel bluebird I showed you a couple of weeks ago? Well here he is, all stored away in a cool old, vintage wearable showcase! I tucked in some old Victorian lace and my little signature key for added elegance, and now he can be preserved forever in the beautiful condition that I found him in....


gorgeous faceted aquamarine, art deco rhinestones, and mother of pearl accents...

 
...and a really pretty finish!


..."Bluebird" can be found at Etsy, later this evening.

Below, is the "Rhinestones in Paris" bracelet. I had originally made this piece for myself, but decided recently that I should part with it so someone else could enjoy it's sweet French charm...
Creamy golden freshwater pearls, faceted citrine and pyrite, and vintage bracelet links give this bracelet lots of personality!



The "Saisir Le Jour" bracelet, pictured below, is made with an old American medal still attached to it's colorful gross-grain ribbon and a sweet old gold-filled heart locket filled with the words "saisir le jour" placed inside. Saisir le jour, meaning "seize the day" in French and a old picture of a French soldier makes this piece
a special military inspired bracelet.





 "Paris Monuments" earrings came about after a night of reminiscing about my trip to Paris. That wonderful trip from last Fall is still inspiring my creations, to this day!!!!

 Stay tuned, because next post I will debut my new adventure that I am so over-the-moon excited about. Here's a hint:  It's not jewelry, but it has to do with jewelry.
Au Revoir for now my friends and have a beautiful weekend!

So very pretty!! I always enjoy seeing your creations. I have not worked with any of my vintage pieces in a while, and am anxious to get started back again.
Enjoy your weekend.
