Star Steam Bracelet

Happy Monday!

December is here!  The winter's here in Idaho are interesting.  It can be pouring rain and lashing wind, power outages and storm warnings one moment, and sunny and bright the next.

This morning, after braving the weather and inconsistent power supply, I have one new item to share with you before it is back to the grind stone, I mean workbench.

Star Steam Bracelet Chainmaille and Charms

Star Steam Bracelet Chainmaille and Charms

 

Steampunk or Industrial Fashionistas will love this substantial and stunning chainmaille charm bracelet. Bronze charms, stars, gears, and disks encircle the cuff, interspersed with beautiful faceted bi-cone shaped glass beads in Amber and Brown. Makes a soft and lovely sound when worn. Light weight and comfortable.

8-1/2" total length and 3/4" wide, including clasp. "Merlin's Gold" or Jeweler's Bronze wire has been hand spun cut, antiqued and woven in a version of the European weave. Gears are sold as jewelry components and have never been used in any device or machinery that I am aware of. Disks are hand-drilled and sanded smooth. Each charm and bead is attached individually. Bi-cone beads are 6mm translucent amber and brown. Finished with a matching Toggle clasp.

Arrives boxed, ready for gift giving.

Curiosity Landing Photography - Space the Final Frontier

Happy Tuesday,

Today is a diversion day at The Alchemists Vessel.   Five Great Gifts to Give will return tomorrow.

I wanted to share this magnificent footage from Curiosity's mars landing.

Photography of Curiosity Landing Site on Mars First HD Panorama of Gale Crater - photoJPL.com .::

Unfortunately I cannot embed the video, but I urge you to click the link above and have a look at the desolate and spectacular landscape of Mars.

This is an amazing thing that has been accomplished, the second mission to the red giant with a better Rover.  

Most of us have been fascinated with Space and Science Fiction for most of our lives, and we created real things from those stories.  Cell phones, video conferencing, medical equipment, and yes, even computers and the internet were all Science Fiction at one time.  

Right now in our life time, we have an opportunity like no others before us, we can truly go where no man has gone before, that is exciting, and wonderful and wondrous, a marvelous something to behold. 

Thank you for stopping by and having a read.  Do check out the brief video.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day, and remind you to shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you still land among the stars.

New Inventory In The Etsy Shop

Here we are, Monday, again.  How does it keep doing that?

Now that you all have your coffee, let us see what can be found in the shop.  There are more items on the way and custom work is always welcome!

Just in time for summer is this very cute and feminine Necklace set, that is the perfect compliment to the Summer dress that you have been dying to wear.  Silver Metal Daisies (Sunflowers) adorn the Silver plated jump rings linked in the Dragon Chain chainmaille pattern lengths, interrupted by lovely Peridot green faceted glass beads.  Matching earrings are included.

 Matching Earrings

Next up is more summertime green with this "Tibetan Silver" Dia de los Muertos inspired motif of Skulls and Flowers.  Green glass beads in a pretty emerald to a soft pastel make up most of the chain, finished with a silver metal Rollo chain for durability.  Although the earrings do not match exactly they continue the flower motif with cute daisies perched atop their heads. 

*NOTE:  Tibetan Silver, has no silver content what so ever and is an alloy consisting mainly of Tin or Zinc.  If there is any silver in the metal at all, it is 1% to 2% at most.  This metal us usually Nickel and Lead free due to allergies to these metals.

Zombie Spring

 

Also available in Black.  See: One Dark Night

Understated Steampunk Theme Bracelet crafted from Antiqued Bronze jump rings, star and gear charms.  This is a fun and light weight bracelet.  The gears were sold as jewelry components and have never been used in any machinery or device to my knowledge.  The chain is linked in the "Daisy Chain" or Rosette chainmaille pattern to add an extra bit of dimension and interest to the otherwise simple charm bracelet design.  The rings appear to be twisted or knotted together.

Star Stream

And last but not least in a three (3) piece jewelry set in antiqued Bronze.  Necklace is 25" long, adorned by a lovely old world style locket with an octopus motif.  Antiqued Bronze chain is interrupted by genuine Pyrite and antiqued Bronze beads.  The earrings match the beads links and the bracelet is 8" and a simple affair of antiqued Bronze chain and six genuine Pyrite beads suspended at equal intervals along the chain.  Both necklace and bracelet are finished with a Lobster Claw clasp, earrings are completed with French Wire (Fish Hook) style ear wires.

Pyrite Octopus

We do have new things in store for the shop.  New beads and other materials are being carefully collected and considered for all current projects and ideas that are in the works!

Thank you for stopping in and having a read.
