Couture
This page is dedicated to the teen crowd who love high fashion! In addition to some girly pieces, I am
developing my own version of the Gothic, Metal, Rock, and Steampunk styles. Non-traditional jewelry
items, such as the Gauntlets, are also displayed here. These pieces are edgy, current and fun! I can
create custom orders is this section as well, but some pieces require specialized custom fitting.
While some creations are listed as sets, each piece may be purchased separately.
Gauntlets
$10 to $40, plus labor/fitting
The gauntlets pictured represent only a few style ideas for this concept. The possibilities for a gauntlet are quite literally
endless. Styles can range from the simple to the outragous - and beyond! If you can dream it, I will attempt to make it!
Gauntlets are by custom order only because they must be tailored to fit the customer's hand.
B
Double-decker Collar
$50 to $80
A "collar" length necklace is an extreme version of a choker. Instead of resting at the base of the neck like a choker, a collar
necklace fits tightly around the throat. A stand-out among neckwear, this can be made in any color or combination of colors
and with almost any kind of beads - the one pictured is black and white crystal. Dangles or chain loops can be added to the
bottom of the necklace if desired - let me know what works for you! It can also be made with tiny pearls as a bridal piece.
This design is by custom order only. Please allow time for delivery, as this necklace is complex to assemble.
