More to drool over on Etsy

The champagne is delicious! *hic*

Since you don't have any, here's something else for you to enjoy - jewelry and accessories by SatinDollCo:

There's some wonderfully unique accessory items in her store, as well as lovely jewelry. She's got colorful wraps for pilates or yoga mats:



What a great idea!

For a night out, this mocha clutch would be perfect!



And for summertime fun, there's these pink and black plaid earrings.



It always amazes me, the variety you can find in one person's shop on Etsy!

And more for the girls

Because, hey, why not? Here's some great chic, contemporary, handmade jewelry from another Jewelry on Etsy teammate, LotusStone.

She's got some great sets available, each matched by name in her listings. My favorite is the Kathleen set:







There's also the Adriel necklace, a delicate silver leaf:



And look! More garnets! A set of earrings with my favorite stones and matching freshwater pearls:

Something for the gents

I'm pretty much all for the ladies, I'll admit. Although I do a unisex piece from time to time, most of my styles are a little too frilly and delicate for the boys. So, a little something different from me today! Here's some handmade silver jewelry pieces by my fellow Jewelry on Etsy teammates Terry and Bob from Jewelry24Seven:

Firstly, check out this jade ring:



It's a gorgeous piece of nephrite jade set in a diamond shaped setting, such a striking piece!

For a little bit more color, there's this dichroic glass ring in a hand-cut bezel setting:



How about these black mother of pearl cufflinks?



I love the elegance of cufflinks, peeking out from the sleeve of a jacket. If you can't find a shirt that'll fit cufflinks, all you need to do is remove the button from the cuff and add another button-hole. I've done this with a couple of my shirts in the past, works like a charm! If you don't have a sewing machine with a button-holer, a tailor can do this for you quite quickly and reasonably.

If you're craving some major blink, their huge sterling silver rope chain will satisfy that itch:





Okay, I lied. This isn't just for the boys. How could I not show you this gorgeous garnet and silver ring? Garnets are my favorite stone - the rich burgundy color always makes me happy, and the setting is beautiful!

One of my hats was featured on this week's Top 10 Handmade Creations!

Recovering from too much fun this weekend. I have declared it to be a night of relaxation.

A feature for Thursday

Or two - two more of my fabulous Jewelry on Etsy teammates!

Firstly, Shazzabeth, over whose wirework and chainmaille jewelryI've literally been lusting over for years:

Pretty in... by dbvictoria

My all time favorite piece, that will be the one of the first things I buy when I win the lottery, is her Medieval Onyx & Pearl Chainmalle necklace:



And how about these beautiful antiqued brass beauties by The Brass Hussy:

Beautiful Blues... by dbvictoria

How can you not love a shop with a name like that? I've never been a fan of gold jewelry, but I've grown to love the muted tones of antiqued brass, like in this lilac purple flower necklace:



Probably taking a creation break tonight, although I might be able to convince myself to work on a parasol later tonight. We'll see. It depends on whether tonight's episode of Supernatural is new or a repeat, most likely.
