Acknowledgement: I have gotten several requests lately from men for a piece or two that would fit a "more traditionally masculine jewelry" description, so that they could wear it to work and so on. I like certain design challenges, and therefore folks should not be surprised to see some stuff with fewer "fiddly bits" on it, and generally in larger scale. Of course, anybody who likes it can buy it, because I've got no gender requirements on my jewelry, but I did want to acknowledge the requests. (Also, I must admit that the term "man-bling" amuses me.) I have now posted a bunch more large-scale pendant goodness above. Enjoy, whatever your gender may be!
Shipping's $5 domestically and $7 internationally for small things, more for heavy things and for insurance; check with me for specifics.
(And since the only way to get something is to send e-mail to the gimme address, please feel free to comment here without fear of accidentally putting dibs on anything.)
*18% of the chapbooks have been spoken for already. w00t!

"Neptune's Daughter" necklace-crown: gold filled wire, slab pearls, Swarovski crystals in various almost-clear colors.
