October 27, 2008 etsyBlogger Mini Monday

This is your etsyBloggers Honorary Week!

This talented Artisan is a part-time SAHM with a young daughter. She was born and raised in western Maryland and educated in northern Indiana, I now live with my husband and lovely little girl in Buckinghamshire, England.

What influences her jewelry?

Fantastical stories in particular. My shelves are crammed with lush, illustrated faerie tales and sweeping epic trilogies like Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials , Lord of the Rings , and Garth Nix's The Old Kingdom . It's the love of stories such as this that drove me to want to adorn myself with them. To make jewelry as potent and sumptuous as the stories that inspire me.

I use real gemstones in all of my work except where otherwise stated. I believe real gems have a significant weight, feel and lustre to them that glass does not. Any piece of jewelry can be fitted with stones other than the ones pictured!

Extraordinary artist, using only quality materials and skilled craftmanship, all items in her shop come with a 1 year warranty covering the body of the piece. (excluding chains)

Mini Monday Celebration of Rose Works Jewelry

The woman behind the shop Rose Works Jewelry introduces herself to us in her Etsy Profile-

Hi! My name is Ruthie and I have been creating jewelry, for fun, since I was a freshmen in High School. Over the years I've mostly made projects for my family and friends, including all the jewelry for my wedding in 2007, but I've had people telling me for a long time that I should sell my work. So here I am!

I work with a variety of styles so I hope you can find something that you like. Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions! I am a full time college student and I check my e-mail frequently.

If you want to learn more about my creative process and who I am, check out my blog at:http://www.roseworksjewelry.blogspot.com/

This beautiful bracelet is just a small part of the creativity that flows from the hands of this talented jewelry maker. Look at the Etsy Mini below to see the latest offerings in the shop. Clicking on any item will take you to Rose Works Jewelry where you can see more items, find out her latest sale information and of course I encourage you to purchase something. After all you deserve it, right?
