Spring is almost here

It certainly seems a lot closer to Spring with the temps in the 70's in Indianapolis early March. I'm celebrating the warm weather by featuring this notecase and a pair of earrings today.

Filigree Diamonds by me


Simple, lightweight, and long. Just the way I like my earrings and hopefully the way you like yours too.

I flattened a piece of aged brass filigree and added a lime green glass tear drop bead for a hint of color. They are shown on brass leverbacks, but can be switched to hook or kidney wires free of charge.

Sticks, Pokes, and Long Pointy Things

Yesterday, I made visit to the Dentist office to get an old filling fixed and one new filling. I just cringe at the thought of getting those numbing shots in my mouth. I would rather be home sewing or making jewelry.

Pincushion Ring - Hot Pink with Black Scrolls

by dottyral

I just love Dotty's idea of putting a pin cushion on a ring. Only $8.00 What a cute idea!

I’m here to rescue you, your family and pets. No more sticking your pins in the armrest of the sofa, in the rug, ironing board or your pants leg. No more “Ouch, what’s this pin doing here?”

The ring is made from base metal. The pincushion is cotton fabric stuffed with polyester batting.

Pink Capped Glass and Brass Earrings by TheBrassHussy (me)

My inspiration for these was trying to figure out what to do with these pink beads, lol. They remind me of upside down ice cream cones.

I love the contrast between the hot pink glass and the darkened brass filigree. The earrings are just over 2 inches long. If you would prefer them on shorter earwires, please look at my other items for leverback and hook styles. No charge for swapping them out.

Nostalgic Whimsy - Brass Leverback Earrings with Lock and Key

Light weight, long, with lots of dangles. These earrings were made by linking one jump ring at a time and adding Carnelian Gemstones, Lime green and Topaz Czech Glass, a Cream dyed Fresh Water Pearl, and a sweet little heart shaped lock and a key.

All the brass is nickel free, lead free, and not plated in anyway. The earrings are around 2.5 inches or 62.5 mm long. On hinged brass leverbacks and can be switched to fishhook earwires free of charge.

Welcome to my Revamped Blog

My blog has been wiped clean, all fresh and new. I hope you enjoy the new style!

To start, I would like to post something that is a new style for me, old, yet new, and just in time for Spring.

Peridot, a French word for Olivine

Gemstone Folklore says Peridot helps you to gain foresight and divine inspiration. Some of Cleopatra’s emeralds were in fact peridots. You will feel like a queen wearing this green glass jewel pendant. The faceted glass jewel pendant is 3/4 wide by 1 inch long. I set the jewel in a brass prong setting. The setting is open, so the color of the glass jewel shines thru. The entire pendant is around 1.5 inches long. Your choice of chain length, 16, 18, 20, or 22 inches.Matching earrings included as a bonus! The brass is nickel free, lead free, and not plated.
