This gorgeous little ring is just right for ring or pinky fingers. Genuine raw Turquoise has been hand set in a handmade Sterling Silver setting. Would make a fabulous December Birthday Gift.
Throughout the ages Snakes have been a staple symbol of jewelry, design and decor, temple motifs and literature. Many cultures believe that snakes are symbolic of protection from harm, or used as an icon of power and leadership, as seen in the Ancient Egyptian crowns and tomb treasures of the Pharaohs.
Prince Charming in disguise. This adorable Frog Prince Necklace isn't hard to fall in love with. His wry smile beckons you to take a closer look at the highly detailed work of his crown. Adorned with gorgeous genuine Azurite in Malachite beads, means he is never too far away from his cool pond and comfortable Lily-pad. Cute, unique, a fun and flirtatious piece for you.
These earrings are a wonderful addition to any jewelry collection. Pairing them with your wardrobe is a snap. Pair with Office Attire or that cute Little Black Dress. Perhaps darker fashion are more your style, these earrings are sure to please you and compliment everything in your closet.
This bold and beautiful bracelet is perfect for him or her. Great for the office or a weekend get away. Wow her on date night, interest him at the show. Wherever you choose to wear this gorgeous band it is sure to be a hit, or at least a conversation starter. Named after "Sir Kay", King Arthur's bother, the band stands up from the wrist forming a lovely deep silver-tone 3 dimensional circle that flows across the skin, and catches the light for a subtle shine with movement.

Holiday Trends 2014
Good Morning,
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and this morning the blog has some easy ideas to help out with decorating this season.
This years home decor, tree or table is all about the bling. Shiny metallic Gold and Silver are the key to fashionable soirees. Over-sized ribbons, garlands and pretty ornaments may be hung, placed or tucked on trees, walls or tables to make your room glitter.
Add a bit of color. Get creative with shades and hues. Instead of Red and Green, try mixing it up a bit with soft blues (turquoise, pale powder blues or deep navy) or other pastel colors with contrasting deep tones can make for a lovely and tranquil tree or table center piece.
You can't go wrong with natural elements, and many can be found right in your own backyard. Fallen tree limbs, a bit of wood, pine cones or burlap can make for a stunning and rustic down home feel. Don't be afraid to re-purpose or recycle something. A Lazy-Susan can make a wonderful centerpiece or place setting. Raffia can adorn place cards or tie a napkin for a festive and unique accent. Remember to let the wood dry out a little before crafting your decorations.

Know Your Chainmaille Weave
Good Morning,
Today I thought it might be fun to share samples of Chainmaille weaves.
Most weaves have several names for whatever reason that may be and it has little to do with the origins of the pattern itself.
European 4-in-1 Weave.
A most common chainmaille weave.

Today I thought it might be fun to share samples of Chainmaille weaves.
Most weaves have several names for whatever reason that may be and it has little to do with the origins of the pattern itself.

Yellow Abalone Shell Pendant Vintage
I found this beautiful yellow color abalone shell (I think) pendant at a local consignment shop, and quickly snatched it up. It was dirty and tarnished, but still the golden color shone through, so I took it home and cleaned it up. I strung it on a simple cord and ribbon necklace that measures 18" from end to end with a 2" extension. The pendant itself measures 1 1/2".
There is no marking on the silver so I could not do much research on it, and since I am not a gemologist, I can not guarantee that the stone is abalone shell, but that is what other, more knowledgeable, jewelers have suggested.Regardless, this is a beautiful piece of vintage jewelry.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
