New Listing! Teal Blue Heart Vintage Style Necklace


by
 
I pondered what to create with this beautifully enhanced natural stone in a non-symmetric shape...so many wonderful colors and hues such as teal, brown, blue, and even a bit of orange.  When I finally put the piece together I was really pleased with the results.  I especially like the neat little heart locket I added and the beautiful teal czech glass flowers!

Passing Through Time Together Vintage Style Watch Pendant


Passing Through Time Together Vintage Style Watch Pendant

Isn't this watch beautiful? It takes you back through time with it's filigree casing and bold and beautiful watch face. I added a wonderful cornflower blue polymer clay rose, mounted on antiqued bronze filigree and wire wrapped a gorgeous opalescent faceted teardrop and hung both these charms from antiqued bronze chains. The piece is tied together with 29 inches of antique bronze chain and an antiqued bronze lobster claw closure.


Did you even meet someone and right away it felt like you had know them a long time?  There was a familiarity about them that made you feel like you had perhaps known them in another lifetime...like you were passing through time together! That's what I was thinking about when I made this design!

Pure Beauty Vintage Style Necklace by Zur Designs

This 20 inch vintage style necklace features a beautiful blue glass drop nestled in an antique style bead cap, surrounded by bead and brass charms and held together by antiqued brass chain with a swirly toggle clasp. 


To me this necklace represents all things that are pure and beautiful: the pureness of a clear blue sky, looking across the horizon at the beauty of the ocean, and the miraculous pure beauty of a newborn baby.

Timeless Love Vintage Style Necklace by Zur Designs

The focal point of this necklace is a vintage rose, once part of an old brooch, that I found at an antique shop. I mounted that on a filigree and tied it in a pale green ribbon and then surrounded this centerpiece with chains filled with czech glass beads, fabric flowers and unique antiqued bronze findings. The 16 inch vintage twisted rope chain  is so beautiful and is held together with a swirly antiqued bronze toggle clasp.

The use of these vintage materials to create something brand new brings to mind some things in life that are truly timeless; the powerful beauty of nature, the strength of the human spirit, the undying beauty of this little vintage rose, and often times, the timelessness of love itself.

Some New Listings From Zur Designs


Here are some of the things I've been working on over the past few of weeks!


Delicate Vintage Style Sweetheart Locket


I just fell in love with this vintage heart locket and I imagine it holding two old sepia pictures! I adorned it with accent flowers in lucite, swarovski crystals, pearls, and czech glass and a beautiful swarovski crystal teardrop that gives it endless sparkle. It is mounted 18" antiqued brass O shaped cross chain with an antique tibet bronze swirl hook toggle clasp! So pretty, so delicate, and a bit of the old world to enhance your outfit!!

Bountiful Harvest EarringsThese vanilla czech glass drops surrounded by colorful bicone swarovski crystals reminds me of a wonderful harvest, just picked from the garden. Antiqued bronze headpins hold the vanilla drop and dancing crystals in place and handmade bronze ear wires tie everything together. These earring dangle approximately 1 1/4 inch from the ear.


Fields of Lavender Earrings

I absolutely love these Czech Amethyst Luster Faceted 10x13mm Teardrops and I decorated them with assorted colors of swarovski crystal bicones all wire wrapped so that they dance above the amethyst drops. I tied it all together with handmade silver ear wires and Fields of Lavender Earrings were born! They dangle about 1 1/4 inches from the ear.
Czech Glass Ruby Azuro Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Ring
Wow these Czech Glass 10mm Ruby Azuro Faceted Rounds are just so brilliant! The rich ruby color and then shades of blue and purple that just sparkle in the light! I wire wrapped this in sterling silver wire and the results are truly breathtaking when you slip this ring on your finger!! I know this because I made one for myself!! The ring shown is a size 7 but I also have one available in sizes 8 and 9...or I can customize a size just for you!

I Hold You In My Heart Vintage Style Necklace

Whenever I lose someone I always say that I hold them in my heart forever. This thought came to mind as I was creating this necklace. I found this wonderful large vintage puffy heart embossed with a lovely pattern and painted a bright orange and green. I added a filigree wire wrapped in flowers, some lucite and pearl accents, and a lovely czech glass flower and hung it from an intricate 18" antiqued brass rope chain. The piece is tied together with an antique tibet bronze swirl hook toggle clasp!

The heart pendant itself is large, approximately three inches so it makes a wonderful statement and will be a favored accessory!

Azurite Malachite Antiqued Bronze Wire Wrapped Ring

I love this azurite malachite stone! The vividness of both blue and green and the oval shape make it a perfect stone to generously wrap in antiqued bronze wire.The result is a beautiful little ring you'll be happy to wear every day that combines a contemporary style and a vintage flair! The ring is a size 7 but I can customize a size that's just right for you!


New Orleans Blues Necklace
The focal point of this 24 inch necklace is the extra large faceted crystal in a deep rich color blue. Add to that an ornate elongated bead cap, an antiqued bronze filigree decorated with vintage lucite flower and swarovski crystal accents, and a large vintage key. The piece is tied together with a wonderful antique brass chain and held together with a vintage style swirly toggle clasp.  I was listening to bluesy, jazzy New Orleans style sax music while creating this necklace reminding me of the rich and vibrate history of that city that not even nature can take down!
Hand Stamped Vintage Style Medallions
Well, I got a hand stamping kit for my birthday and am having so much fun with it! These brass oval tags can be stamped with inspirational messages, names,or personalized in any way. Each tag is surrounded by a cluster of bright flowers and beads and hung on an antiqued brass 16 inch chain. They look good by themselves or layered with other necklaces.
The ones I have in stock right now are:
JOY--surrounded by pink flowers; sure to bring joy to you every day
LOVE--featured swarovski crystals and pearls; make someone you love really happy...even if it's yourself!
SEEK--a great inspirational message for everyone surrounded by a garden of flowers in orange and turquoise
MEH--hehe I love this word...and sometimes it just says it all; features a black webbed jasper rondelle and pretty green flowers.  The size of the tag accommodates three to four letter words best. Just convo me on what you want your charm to say and preferred color palette.


Yellow Flower Vintage Style Wire Wrapped Ring
This ring began with a beautiful yellow african jade stone, generously wire wrapped in antiqued bronze wire, and topped with a pretty yellow flower with a creamy swarovski pearl nestled inside. The ring is a size 7 but I can customize the size just for you!

Bliss Necklace

I've been thinking a lot lately about the word "bliss".  How many times in your life have you actually experienced true bliss?  sometimes it happens int he quiet moments of the day when you know that everyone you love is safe and happy and well.  it can happen during the creative process, when all elements come together to become something beautiful; cherished for years to come.  If Bliss were a design it might look like this 19" necklace made from vintage lavender and white pearls, used as the focal point, nestled in antiqued bronze vintage bead caps and surrounded by charms made of lucite flowers, swarovski pearls and crystals. More lavender and white pearls line the chain surrounded by antiqued bronze vintage heart connectors. A lovely white lucite flower with an amethyst swarovski crystal as it's center dangles from the antiqued bronze chain. The design is tied together with an antiqued bronze swirled toggle clasp.



Bliss can be purchased in my Etsy Shop!  Giving this necklace as a gift?  Bliss will arrive at your door beautifully wrapped and ready for giving.  And remember, there is always FREE SHIPPING at Zur Designs!

Experience Bliss! :)
