Honour Your Inner Magpie

current shinies
This is a post for me to keep track of what's currently in inventory, but I thought you guys would like to see it. I hope to take photos in the morning and add stuff, in between packing sale goodies. (I am still moving slowly, but feeling some better today. Yay, progress! Now if we could get the shoulder happy again....)

[Please note that the pieces on gold filled wire are still at the old prices. I have not marked them up to compensate for the recent insane rise in precious metal prices, so you're getting a serious deal there. Also: I add named things alphabetically, so don't just look at the end of each list for new goodies. The unnamed ones, though, I'll add to the ends of their respective lists.

Necklace-crowns:

“Fantasy in Red and Black” – glass and sterling silver $265 ON HOLD PENDING A QUESTION
“The Moving Particle Writes” – labradorite and sterling silver $210 ON HOLD
"Neptune's Daughter" necklace-crown: gold filled wire, slab pearls, Swarovski crystals in various almost-clear colors. I was playing with the off-white pearls and the elusive colored highlights that dance on them, as well as trying out a very flexible design. See how I can curl it around (carefully!) almost twice? I think this might be handy if pinning it around a chignon or whatchamacallit. $450, and would be a lot more if I took the gold prices today into consideration, so no markdown here... and there may even be a mark-UP, if Juan's lecture to me succeeds.
(more to come when there are some)

Linked necklaces:

"All the Currents Are One Current; All the Tides, One Tide" necklace: gold filled wire, labradorite, aquamarine, Swarovski crystal, metal, prehnite, plastic, lampwork glass, and so on. I tried to take pictures in a bunch of different lighting conditions to give you a good idea of it. Also, the shot of me with my chin wrinkled up is because I am in the land of ouch today. But it does give you an idea of the length of the piece and how it drapes. $625
