Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2014 1:50 pm
Thanks to RSI pain in my hands, I decided to take a little break from metalwork for a week, and do some little bits of jewellery instead.
So, for anyone so inclined, I'm now selling a couple of entirely handmade gemstone paternosters, ready for shipping immediately. Each one comes boxed and with a velvet jewellery bag for protection: Links below each image lead to a higher-resolution photograph.
First off, a 55-bead one with natural quartz crystal tenners and genuine Venetian Murano glass gauds, consisting of crimson glass with gold leaf:
Price: £90 GBP, plus shipping.

Secondly, blue Lapis Lazuli linear rosary with blue/silver-grey tassels, based off the style of those seen in Jan van Eyck's "Arnofini Portrait" of 1434, and Rogier van der Weyden's "The Magdalene Reading":
Price: £65 plus shipping.

Finally, Freshwater Pearls with Red Coral Gauds,
£90 plus shipping.
(Please note that the coral is dyed red Bamboo Coral, rather than the somewhat endangered Mediterranean Corallium rubrum species of coral that the originals would have had.)

Each one of these is, as said, ready for immediate dispatch. Shipping to the United States will likely be £15 for a tracked delivery, or about £10 to European Union states. Feel free to message me if you're somewhere else and I'll check.
