  • convertible cork choker - french ostrich

    Cork Choker with Vintage Pearl and Crystal Necklace

    $35.00$145.00

    This cork choker is a yummy chocolate brown and is stunning all on its own. But when you add the upcycled pearl and crystal necklace or one of the sterling silver pendants, your necklace will become a real eye-catcher.

    How to transform the choker:  You may wear the choker by itself, or the pearl and crystal necklace by itself. Or, you can attach the two for an “uber-statement necklace!” Or, choose any of the sterling silver pendants, to which I’ve added a ring so it will easily slip over a small ridge in the magnetic clasp.

    Please note: The listing is for the cork choker + the vintage pearl and crystal necklace for $145. You may add any, all, or none of the sterling pendants for $35 each.

    If you enjoy unusual jewelry, then you just may want to add this fabulous creation to your shopping cart!

  • wearable art necklace - french ostrich

    Wearable Art Face Jewelry

    $119.00

    “Dreamland”

    This lovely lady is off in dreamland. She’s sporting a sparkly, repurposed vintage earring on her forehead!

    The face is approximately 3″ tall and  2″ wide, and hangs from a 20″ cork cord with magnetic clasp.

    The pieces in the The French Ostrich Wearable Art Face Collection are conversation-starters … and not your average, mainstream jewelry. This piece of wearable art is “one-of-a-kind in series,” meaning I’ve crafted the same face numerous times, but each one varies a bit from the next: different makeup or hair, perhaps, varied chain, or unique embellishments.

    Each creation in the French Ostrich Wearable Art Face Collection is crafted from clay, hand painted, and baked 2-3 times.

  • copper and aqua collage necklace - french ostrich

    Statement Necklace Copper and Aqua

    $169.00

    This  assemblage necklace is a one-of-a-kind-statement-making stunner. Crafted in copper and aqua, it’s truly spectacular.

    The definition of assemblage is “a group of collected things.” In the art world, assemblage refers to putting together a group of objects into a unified whole. Several years ago, I was absolutely captivated by assemblage jewelry and have been making it ever since.

    The patinaed butterfly is the focus of this creation; it’s surrounded by components that are richly plated with copper: four flowers with faux pearls at their centers, a leaf and various other copper components. The assemblage hangs from a rolo chain complemented with faceted Amazonite beads.  A toggle clasp makes the necklace easy to put on and take off.

    Be mesmerizing …

  • bullet shell tassel necklaces - french ostrich

    Bullet Shell Necklace

    $59.00

    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!

    Take your pick:

    #1 sports a rectangular teal-colored bead, brass bullet shell and silver tulip bead. The tassel is just over 5″ long.

    #2 features a black bead with a silver-tone bullet shell.  The tassel is about 4.5″ long.

    #3 features a brass bullet shell with a faceted bright silver bead.  The tassel is about 5″ long.

    #4 featured a brass bullet shell, silver tube bead, and a mustard-color focal bead. The tassel is about 5″ long.

    #5 is neutral in silver and gold tones with a faux pearl, and has a tassel about 4.5″ long.

  • purple lady assemblage necklace

    “Purple Lady” Statement Assemblage Necklace / Collage Necklace

    $139.00

    This assemblage necklace is sure to garner lots of attention, and you’ll certainly never see this necklace on anyone else.

    The definition of assemblage is “a group of collected things.” In the art world, assemblage refers to putting together a group of objects into a unified whole. Several years ago, I was absolutely captivated by assemblage jewelry and have been making it ever since.

    The purple lady is the focus of this creation, and she’s surrounded by richly plated brass components, faux pearls and Swarovski crystals. The assemblage hangs from a double chain: a silver vintage chain, and a second chain composed beaded connectors: gorgeous purple beads enveloped in cone-style filigree bead caps.

    This necklace is a stunner, and if you or someone you know loves purple, well …
