off balance...

I seem to find no matter how hard I try. God created me a little off-balance. I even find it in my designs. Symmetry is not my thing. These Chandelier earrings are no different. Sure to shine at any event!

..i say, embrace that which is off balance in yourself, and support Ruby Slippers Jewelry Designs! :-)

savy silver

these have become my new everyday wear earrings.

How I made them :

~ taking 1' of sterling silver chain

~ put three beads of choice on the chain (place them in reverse order to how they will fall on the earrings)

~wind the chain in three circles/rounds to the size you desire

~ take sterling silver wire and finish off the chain by wrapping tightly around the top

~finish off with handmade sterling earwire

always love...

....hate will get you everytime.

I was listening to that song today. it just really struck me. anyway. in a time of turmoil nothing good ever comes of being bitter. you never know who you might touch with your compassion,joy,encouragement, or LOVE. :-) these earrings completely handmade of hammered sterling and copper make me feel like living that way. they are just lovely.

i like to think that whoever wears my stuff will have a story to share about them. I love the story and mystery behind everything in life. please feel free to share yours with me.

butterfly inspirations...

 these pieces are handmade one of a kind pendants. ABOVE: copper pendant with sterling silver nugget inlay. torched after creating to give purple/blue hues with flame. Necklace is composed of mother of pearl,semi-precious stones, swarovski crystal, handmade Africa beads, and gold-filled wire. BELOW: completely handmade, one of a kind, copper flower pendant with copper wire and a touch of glam with a swarovski crystal center


So, I have been having encounters with butterflies nonstop lately. Word on the street is, this is a great sign of good stuff to come. ;-) YES PLEASE. I'll take it. So I have listed a few photos of the butterflies around and some of the jewelry I have created in light of these encounters.

rockin bracelet

Hey there friends! I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  I have designed a pretty cool new bracelet. At least I think its pretty fantastic. :-) I took a picture of the area I was looking at to show the connection of the space you are in and the influence it can make on your creativity. if you notice there are lots of reds around me. and shocker! check out the colors i used in this design. this bracelet is a combination of sterling silver, vintage buttons (thank you mamaw) shells and Swarovski crystals. I didn't plan on this design. its neat to see what you come up with when you sit back  and allow God and his creation design for you. steps I took for this bracelet:

1~cut about a 2" long piece of sterling silver. (.25" wide) 

2~hammered the piece of silver and sanded the edges 

3~drilled holes in the silver pieces, randomly by eye

4~ took sterling silver wire and basically "sewed" the assortment of beads and buttons on the silver using the wire as my 'thread'. :-)

5~ attached the piece to chain and handmade clasp to make a fabulous bracelet. 

have a great labor day!
