I haven't been over to Etsy in a while, and it's one of my favorite places to virtually shop for hand-crafted jewelry (and other goodies), so I figured I was past due for a visit today.

Right away when I surfed over I found this wacky, fun bracelet made by Kathi Parker. It looks almost dangerous to wear, but according to her description, it's plenty safe:

This bracelet is a favorite in my booth. Each spikey actually ends with an end which has been drawn up into a ball by placing a torch at it. As it heats up it draws itself together into a raindrop shape.

The entire bracelet is handmade from 16G wire. The spikes hang loosely and flop around as you move.

It's NOT SHARP! It's just called that because the name "bent wires ending in round balls bracelet" was just too long.

It is tumbled in stainless steel until it becomes bright and shiney and comes in a beautiful velvet bag.

A little more cruising turned up this bright purple shell earrings from Jing Jing Design.


Continuing on the earring phase, I found these Murano glass heart earrings. Ah...Italians and their talent for glass!


Finally, let's end this shopping trip with a necklace. It's amazing the detail that talented artist like Etsy member JGB can get these days with polymer clay.
