ON SALE “Poker Face” Earrings

msb-117-cards.jpg

$12.00 - Item#E117CARDS

ON SALE NOW ONLY $8.00 

King and Queen faces are taken from reprinted images of an old Italian tarot deck, which is the origin of our modern playing cards. Faces are glued under a glass pebble. I can personally attest to the fact that such glued pebbles are difficult to remove (having tried to take apart previous items of similar construction), but they are not indestructible; keep away from water, cleaning chemicals, blunt force, etc. Accented with crimson Czech glass drops. Only one pair available, handmade in my studio; the pair you see here is exactly the pair you will receive. Measure 1-1/2 inches long, not including surgical steel ear wires (image enlarged to show detail). Gift boxed.

Browncoat Earrings

February 1st, 2008 by monkeyshinesbeadery

ff-firefly-earrings.jpg

$14.00 - Item #FF001BE

Brass pistol charm and Chinese coin capture the spirit of FIREFLY fans everywhere! In fact, when I got my copy of the Firefly: The Official Companion: Volume Two I saw that the back cover features a pistol and coins just like these (but I was making the earrings before the book came out!). Earrings measure 1-3/8 inches long, not including brass leverback earwires (surgical steel french hooks available upon request for those with metal sensitivities). Image slightly enlarged to show detail. Handmade in my private studio. Symbols on coins may vary from those pictured. Giftboxed.

Most of my jewelry is one-of-a-kind, but this is one of the few items where I do make several of the same design. These are a tribute to my fellow Browncoats, and proceeds from the sale of these earrings go right back into the Can’t Stop the Serenity event I help sponsor and coordinate in Raleigh, NC, each June.

Please note that this item is made-when-ordered, and depending on my schedule might not be shipped for 4-6 weeks. Making jewelry is only a hobby of mine, not a full-time job, and I typically only get to spend a few hours a week in my studio. - Jen

SOLD Inara’s “Jaynestown” earrings

January 2nd, 2008 by monkeyshinesbeadery

msb-018-injt.jpg
$18.00 - Item #FF018INJT

Inspired by the earrings Inara wore in the FIREFLY episode “Jaynestown” when she met Magistrate Higgins. Purple glass drops, balls are vintage filigree beads. See a screenshot of Inara with the earrings here. This pair I made measure 1-3/4 inches long, not including lever-back earwires. Handmade in my private studio. Giftboxed. The COMPANION NECKLACE was worn with the same costume. I will make more, probably not exactly like the ones shown here, but as close as possible to the original. Finding parts is hit-or-miss, so I can only make them when I’m able to find the right materials.

See some of my Inara’s Jaynestown earrings and an Inara Jaynestown necklace replica “in action” by clicking on the thumbnails below. Photos sent to me by one of my customers.
