  • convertible necklace to bracelet by french ostrich

    Convertible Teal Cork Bracelet or Choker with Pearl

    $46.00

    Part of the French Ostrich “Voyageur” Collection, this cork bracelet converts to a choker. That’s right! You can wear it two ways: wrap it twice around your wrist for a bracelet, or wear it as a choker. The teal cork cord is adorned with either a silver or copper magnetic clasp and a bail that sports a lovely freshwater pearl dangle. The teal cork has tiny specs of red throughout the cord.

    This is the perfect piece of jewelry to take with you when you travel. Not only is it versatile in that you can wear it two ways, but it’s super-lightweight at less than half an ounce, so it’s very easy to pack. The simple magnetic clasp means easy-on, easy-off.

    When you wear this piece as a choker, consider layering it with other necklaces. And, when you wear it as a bracelet, it looks great stacked with other cork bracelets, or with metal bangles or chains. Or, keep it minimalistic and wear it all by itself.

    Please note: since cork and pearls are both natural, each bracelet/choker will be slightly different.

    French Ostrich genuine cork is eco-friendly and imported directly from Portugal.

    Cork jewelry …  always a conversation-starter!

  • bullet shell tassel necklaces by french ostrich

    Bullet Shell Necklace

    $49.00

    Look closely and you’ll see these tassel necklaces, part of my Re-Fabulous collection, are made from spent bullet shells. (I purchased the shells from a local gun range. I love to upcycle pretty much anything and everything.) After painstakingly cleaning the bullet shells, I drilled holes in the top. Next I sealed the shells using two coats of a protective coating so the bullet shells would retain their luster and prevent tarnishing and oxidation.

    The tassels themselves are crafted from old chain, much of it vintage, plus beads, Czechoslovakian crystal rondelles,bead caps, and whatever else strikes my fancy as I’m putting the tassel together. Each tassel hangs on a 24″ stainless steel ball chain, making the perfect tassel necklace!
