  • purple lady assemblage necklace by french ostrich

    “Purple Lady” Statement Assemblage Necklace / Collage Necklace

    $129.00

    This one-of-a-kind assemblage necklace is a true statement piece from my earlier body of work. Created over a decade ago, these bold, collage-style designs reflect a period when I was deeply immersed in assemblage jewelry—layering found elements, texture, and patina into wearable works of art. Each piece is completely unique, and this collection represents a rare opportunity to own one of these original creations.

    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 …

  • Sale! necklace made from silverplate tray by french ostrich

    Repurposed Silver Plate Tray Necklace

    Original price was: $39.00.Current price is: $20.00.

    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.

     

     

     

     

  • knitting needle earrings by french ostrich

    Knitting Needle Earrings Pale Green

    $46.00

    Part of the Re-Fabulous collection, these unique earrings are crafted from repurposed knitting needles! Each pair undergoes a meticulous transformation process, starting with smashing the needles flat. They are then cut into various lengths, hammered to add texture, carefully filed, and drilled to perfection. After being tumbled for a few hours to smooth out any rough edges, they’re adorned with an array of charms, beads, mini-hoops, and vintage earrings for that final touch.

    These particular earrings feature a stunning pale green hue, complemented by faceted pale green beads and a hint of sparkle from Czech crystal rondelles.

    Please note: due to the handmade nature of these earrings, the knitting needle components may not match exactly, adding to their unique charm.

    Lightweight at just 2.5 grams each and measuring under 2 inches long, these earrings are not only a fashion statement but also a delightful conversation starter. Perfect for the knitters in your life, these earrings make a thoughtful and stylish gift.
