Metalicious

Big Bling Stack

Stephanie is the NYC based artist behind the incredible jewelry collections of Metalicious and I am happy to feature her as our Jet of the Day today. Happy, yes, but very challenged. I have fallen in love with so many pieces that I do not know where to begin. Lets start with Stephanie and her inspiration in her own words:

"Metalicious is forged from my passion to create using both my hands and my imagination. My creativity is influenced by science and nature, forming a balance that translates into my work. From architecture to tree bark to brick walls, there is beauty and perfection in every form and texture"

Wide Band Alternative Modern Engagement and Wedding Rings

"Big Bling" and the ring set above are part of the  timeless Modern Rock Collection. These  highly polished, faceted "metal jewels" sparkle like gemstones. The collection includes other ring styles, earrings and necklaces. Less is more in the Modern Rock Collection and these pieces stand out in a crowd and make a fashion statement.

Stephanie’s inspiration comes from the pureness of form, the vibrant color and sparkle of 
gemstones, diamonds and precious metals, and her desire to create timeless designs. She makes each original piece by hand using various techniques, from traditional metalsmithing to unconventional wirework.

Periwinkle Lavender Purple Tanzanite Filigree Antique Look Pendant Necklace in Wrought Sterling

 These little "Sweetie" earrings are made to look like diamond stud earrings, but with a colorful surprise.

 

Teal Blue Topaz Diamond Stud Earrings

There is so much more to see, from the fun 'Bubbles" collection, to the men's jewelry selections that even my man would wear! Whether you are in the market for rings, necklaces, bracelets or earrings, or if you just love well made, artisan jewelry, do not miss a visit to Metalicious

hitME

Try hitME Free! During their launch promotion.

What does this mean? It means you can send an Ecard with a song attached.
The song is a gift the recipient can download and keep forever.

How? Its easy as 1-2-3-4

This is a fantastic idea from my friend Isabel at ecardindustries.
How many ecards do you open and think, "nice, they spent 20 seconds sending me a card".
Those thoughts do not apply to a hitME card.
First, your recipient will know you took the time to choose an artistic and beautiful card, not kitschy.
Next, they will know you took the time to choose the gift of a song  you know they will love; or that has deep meaning for the two of you; or that sends a message that you cannot put into words yourself.

What are you waiting for? Try it for free!
Use it on Facebook. Simply "allow" the application and you are off and running.

about hitMe and ecardindustries (http://www.ecardindustries.com/hitme)

hitME is the first web application to enable users to send full-featured e-greetings to anyone with an email address and attach a downloadable digital gift - which currently can be any song or album from more than 10,000 major and independent record labels. Future digital gifts will include video games, television series, movies, digital books, tickets, and gift cards.

Jet of the Day: Malves1009: Handmade by Michele

Today’s Jet of the Day is Michele, lovingly known as Malves 1009, who runs the shop Handmade by Michele on Etsy.com

A simple gesture of having been given a crystal necklace by her mother began the career of this talented jewelry maker. Loving the way it sparkled, she was hooked.

Glamorous Crystal Earrings

Today, she is a mother and a wife, and one of those women who cause me to scratch my head and think, “How does she do it all?”. But, lucky for us, she manages to fit making jewelry in, and with a fantastic eye for design.

Round Fuchsia Pink Earrings

Michele creates lovely handmade and affordable, vintage inspired jewelry featuring Swarovski and Czech crystals, pearls, Bohemian faceted glass stones, and Czech glass beads. These beautiful gems are artistically paired with sterling silver and gold filled metals, and  base metals as well. In addition to jewelry, Michele designs a small collection of accessories.

Amethyst Purple Flower Headband

Crystal Clear Bracelet

  

Much of the collection has a vintage-inspired feel. However, many of the components Micheles uses are actual vintage or antique pieces.

 Michele stands behind her quality made pieces and manages to keep them affordable for those at any budget. Whether you are looking for an everyday piece, a “black tie” piece, or a custom design for the wedding of your dreams, you will benefit from Michele’s creativity and talent and will own a piece of vintage inspired handmade jewelry that will last for years to come.

Blue Swirl and Antique Silver Necklace

Jet of the Day: cooljewelryJR

 

Today, our Jet of the Day is Pam from cooljewelryJR, the sister store to cooljewelrydesign. Pam lives in Atlanta and is proud to be a former Jersey Girl. Yay, go Jersey! (Some of us have to stick up for New Jersey).

'Wavelength' Red and Silver Ruffled Lampwork Necklace

I have not met Pam, but I have a feeling she is a lot like her jewelry, cool, eclectic, unique, one of a kind, and a world of color and texture!

'Hot Cider' Amber Glass necklace on Silver Chain

Pam takes chances in her jewelry design and her risk is well rewarded in this second shop of hers on Etsy. Her designs are edgy; often asymmetrical, and, as she describes some of her pieces, "random Chaos". 

'Skully's Cousin"  Day of the Dead Necklace

You will also find the occasional beautifully restored vintage piece of jewelry, rounding out a collection of handmade bracelets, necklaces, and earrings that is unique and  appealing to women of all ages.

"Big Mama" Vintage Burgundy Gold Domed Earrings

"Paradise" Apricot Handmade Enamel Flower Earrings

 Pam knows women and understands our need to feel pretty. This knowledge is what drives her jewelry making. She does it for us, ladies. So we can feel pretty.

Your Daily Jewels

Jet of the Day: Little Brown Bird

Our Jet of the Day today is Mary of Little Brown Bird out of Chicago.

Mary is not a "jeweler" per se, she is an artist. And each of her handmade jewelry pieces is  a little piece of her art that you can wear. 

Baroque Earrings

Each piece in  her eclectic collection of one of a kind rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and accessories has a little special something, different from any other.  

Butterfly Round Silver Pendant

Mary does not just love all things shiny, she brings to her work a love for photography, writing, painting, singing, and acting. An artist experiences the world differently than you and me. The non-artist sees the world, the artist is inspired by the world. 

Peridot and Silver Wide Band Ring

 

  

You can actually feel the inspiration in Mary's Jewelry. She, herself states that,

"Every piece created is a product of a restless imagination."

Love Quotes Fine Silver Vertical Pendant

At Little Brown Bird you will find jewelry for all the ages. You will find items that range from  semiprecious stones and interesting glass beads set in sterling and .999 Fine Silver, to beautiful beads or found objects and mixed metals

Little Brown Bird is one of those shops that you want to keep checking in on. You never know what to expect as Mary's  style is ever changing and evolving.

Button Bling Hair Pins

You can also visit Mary's two other shops on Etsy:http://urbanmetal.etsy.com for fine silver original designs and
