Meet the Maker
Welcome to MariesGems. I've been offering handmade jewelry on Etsy several years with a 5-star rating and am thrilled to open my shop on GoImagine.
So much jewelry is mass-produced, with it all looking very similar. I like to make beautiful, handmade pieces that are one-of-a-kind, so that when women wear it, or give it as gifts, they can express their individuality and stand out from the crowd.
My items are made with natural materials. Each piece is unique–there's only one like it in the world! Everything is READY TO SHIP. Thanks for visiting my shop. Please follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.
How it’s Made
I made these earrings with 20 gauge Copper sheet. I cut, filed and formed the sheet into the marquise shapes. I then used a specialty hammer to create the unique texture. Then I dapped them to create the concave shape, which is also known as monoclastic. Next I punched the hole in the top.
I oxidized the marquise copper shapes with Liver of Sulfur, then polished them with sandpaper, starting with 400 grit and working up to 12,000 grit paper. I wanted to pair the textured and oxidized Copper with something bright, so I chose the neon green Hemimorphite beads. I wire wrapped them with Sterling Silver head pins. I made the Silver ear wires with 22 gauge Sterling Silver wire that I wrapped with complementary 26 gauge Copper wire.
