  • 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.

  • statement necklace - french ostrich

    Statement Necklace with Silver Bird

    $169.00

    This lustrous assemblage necklace is a one-of-a-kind-statement-making stunner. Just imagine it on your little black dress. Or, even a tee-shirt if you dare.

    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 vintage rhinestone earring with three dangles of rhinestone chain is the focus of this creation; it’s surrounded by components that are richly plated with a gorgeous silverware silverplate: three flowers with faux pearls at their centers, a curved leaf and a bird. The assemblage hangs from a silver plated rolo chain with silver filigree and quartz bead connectors. A beefy lobster clasp, complete with a flower of it’s own, makes the necklace easy to put on and take off.

  • repurposed silverplate tray necklace

    Repurposed Silver Plate Tray Necklace

    $39.00

    This necklace, made from a repurposed silver plated serving tray is a great layering necklace, and also just right on its own.

    The silver-plated embossed necklace pendant was created from a no-longer-loved tray using a disc cutter. It was then filed and sanded. It hangs from 22″ stainless steel chain.

    Part of the French Ostrich Re-Fabulous collection, this necklace is one-of-a-kind (OOAK) because no two necklaces will have the same embossing.

    Note: there is no coating on the pendant, but I’ve polished it up with a bit of Renaissance wax. It may darken like any silver, and can be easily brightened up with a polishing cloth.

    The disc measures 1” in diameter.
