Fun with Rubber Rings

Hope that doesn't sound risque'!

After I started making chain, I noticed rubber rings in my favorite wholesale jewelry component catalog. I'd been using rubber tubing specifically designed for memory wire, which I liked, so I thought I'd give the rings a try.

They're so much fun to work with and the patterns I can create with them and jump ring connectors are endless. The colors are bold and whether I combine them or go monotone, the designs are always eye-catching. They come in different sizes and are so light weight, it's like wearing feathers.

I love that they're so reasonably priced and quick to work with, so I can offer them at low prices. This is costume jewelry that's fun and affordable!

Here are some examples, on ArtFire:

Mardi Gras Necklace

Rubber and stone earrings

Light as a feather green anklet

If you have a request for a particular style or color, let me know. I love to do custom work!

Badge Leashes on Etsy

The Husband has been encouraging (nagging??) me to list my badge leashes on Etsy and I finally did. Yippee!

So many people have to wear badges for their Day Jobs now, why not have some style and protect your clothing at the same time? I purposely created a very simple design so the leash doesn’t clash with any necklace you might want to wear to work.

They’re made to order and you get to pick the length, color of the beads and color of the clips. You can find the listing here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17362964

I also listed a couple of new necklaces:

This is an awesome focal bead (1 1/2") that I bought ages ago from an artist in Louisiana.

Handmade chain in a flower pattern.

The latest Charm N Bead Necklace in my fave color, purple. I've been calling the charm on the right an overstuffed chair but it may be a sofa... I loved the grandfather clock! This also has a couple of kitties and purple roses that I cannabalized from a bracelet. It's called The Comfort of Home necklace.

Come on by soon with your Christmas lists. The free earrings with purchase is still in effect, till December 15. Just tell me in the Comments Section at checkout whether you want pierced or clip on. 1 pair of earrings for each item ordered!
