Refresh(ing) Jewelry Designs

So, while thinking about my fear of getting a real job and the fact that I am going to have to, I, Jonie, decided to compromise and open a wee little Etsy shop, called Refresh(ing) Jewelry Designs. Each piece is hand stamped and oxidized (by yours truly, of course).    *Oxidizing is pretty much a natural process, I just speed it up. It would happen anyways after many, many years.*    I oxidize each piece with Liver of Sulfur (a chemical agent that speeds the oxidization process), unlike many other sellers who use Sharpies. Oxidizing using Liver of Sulfur creates a more natural look, since the color is more of a deep gray than black, which is what would happen with a Sharpie. I take a lot of time on each piece: drilling, stamping, oxidizing, and polishing. All metal components are sterling silver. I create each piece with the intent of it being highly wearable for everyday-simple, but lovely. Here's what I've got in my shop so far:

Sterling Silver Branch Necklace

These bracelets are long enough to be wrapped around the wrist about 4-5 times, or they could be used as anklets or necklaces.

JOY wrap around bracelet

PEACE wrap around bracelet

HOPE wrap around bracelet

LOVE wrap around bracelet

So, there's me sharing my endeavors and shamelessly promoting myself :)
