MY NEW JEWELRY COLLECTION: SWIRLS FOR GIRLS!

The swirl or spiral is a universal design, found in every culture. The spiral is the most widespread shape in nature.  It  is part of the design of plants,  animals., and even  ourselves.  The spiral design occurs in our own. DNA!"  When left alone, energy tends to move, grow and balance as spirals.

The swirl or spiral has many meanings , and often symbolizes: “Growth and Evolution.”

I read that working with the spiral design inspires creativity, and I believe it is true.  Every time I work with  the spirals, I get an idea for a new piece of jewelry!

 My “Swirls for Girls” earrings are able to grow and evolve too! Take a basic swirl earring, add  or remove different color beads, dangles, or other swirls to match your outfit or mood. My swirls are hand shaped from sterling silver plated  or copper wire. They can be made smooth or hammered. Necklaces are available to match with handmade swirl chain links and clasps and a variety of blown glass, dichroic glass, handmade lampwork beads, natural stones, and silver.

Each piece is one of a kind.  New items are always being added so please check back regularly.   My full collection can be viewed at my online store by clicking on my PURCHASING JEWELRY AND GLASSWARE page located on the left margin.

 


Basic Swirls
Swirls for Girls"! Interchangeable earrings . Start with your base earrings in several styles which you can wear alone, or slide on and off beads, dangles, and other silver swirls to change your look, match colors to your outfit, and suit your mood. Design your own! Made by hand from sterling silver plated wire. Can be made smooth or hammered. Necklaces are available to match with handmade silver swirl chain links and clasps and a variety of blown glass, dichroic glass, lampwork beads, natural stones, and silver. Each piece is one of a kind. Enjoy!
Basic Swirl

The basic swirl earring comes in a variety of sizes (S-M-L) and is made out of sterling silver plated wire with a copper core.  I also make them out of copper wire.  I form the swirl by hand so each piece is one of a kind.  The swirls can be smooth and round, hammered , or hammered with divets for different effects.  Start with these and add your own beads, or request certain color beads ( 3 per earring, no additional charge) with your order. Earrings can be purchased with or without removable bead dangles or silver swirls.


Spiral , Wavy, and Double Swirls

Other swirl designs are also available.  Every style is available in a variety of sizes.  You can also add beads or various small dangles to these designs too. The double swirls have what looks like an additional hoop at the top, so on your ear looks like a second earring.  Each earring has a diffent look based on if you thread the wire through your ear from the front or back.
