  • bullet shell tassel necklaces by french ostrich

    Bullet Shell Necklace – Only One Left!

    $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!

  • wearable art face necklace by french ostrich

    Wearable Art Jewelry – Face Necklace

    $159.00

    “Key to My Heart”

    This piece of wearable art is designed to get noticed. Set in her own dreamworld, this expressive face necklace carries a quiet sense of personality and presence—right down to the heart charm inscribed “He who holds the key can unlock my heart.”

    Part of an earlier French Ostrich series, each face has its own presence and personality—meant to be noticed and remembered. This is a completed collection, so it’s doubtful that any new pieces will be added.

    The hand-sculpted face measures approximately 2″ and is affixed to a detailed brass stamping. Beads and charms dangle from the base of the stamping, bringing movement and dimension to the design. The full pendant measures approximately 4″ from top to bottom and hangs from a 28″ chain. (Please feel free to ask if you’d prefer the chain shortened.)

    Each piece in the French Ostrich Wearable Art Collection is “one-of-a-kind in series.” While the same face form may appear across the collection, every necklace varies slightly—through differences in paint, hair, chain, or embellishments. All pieces are crafted from clay, hand painted, and kiln baked multiple times for durability.
