Okay, so I've been trying to get some photos together to show some of the ocean themed jewelry I've made in the past. Some of these pieces are quite old, I made them when I was in the metal design program in art school. (that was over 10 years ago now!) Some of them I may be interested in selling, but I also do custom pieces.
I've mostly been focusing on my Norse and Viking themed jewelry for the past few years and my husband and I have an Etsy shop for that: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HammerSol
I'll start with the oldest piece first. This is a copper starfish brooch and ring set. I cannot duplicate these unfortunately because I no longer have access to the equipment used to create them. The starfish on the ring spins:

Here is an octopus pendant I made with precious metal clay (PMC). I don't enjoy this medium and prefer casting:
21597
This piece I may actually be interesting in selling. The necklace is glass and real coral beads, the seahorse is enameled fine silver. He is articulated, which means that he moves!
21598
This is a pendant I made just a few years back. It's a megalodon shark tooth that's actually probably about five inches long!
21599
Ok, this is my favorite piece. It actually took me a few years of working on this on and off. The chain is woven by hand out of individually fused fine silver rings. The clasp was hand fabricated and set with a tiny moonstone. The mermaid I carved from wax by hand and cast her. That part alone probably took me about a month. She is holding a rainbow moonstone.

Sorry for the big pictures! I hope you all enjoy my little gallery of mermaid jewelry. If any of you are interested in a special custom piece, I would love to work with you on it! Or if you have any questions about working with precious metals or the techniques I used to create these pieces, I would love to answer them.
