Handmade Earrings
I like variety, and I hope you do as well. Here you will find a sampling of jewelry from simple beaded styles to chain maille and wire wrapped, with or without stones, lampwork glass, or other kinds of beads. My photos are unretouched except to adjust the exposure or focus, and the colors are accurate on my monitor. Clicking on each picture will bring up a second, larger, picture.

Thank you for visiting my shop! If you see something you like, but would like it in another color, or if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Shipping charges begin at $3.50 and include insurance. I combine shipping charges for multiple purchases if purchased at the same time, but the shopping cart doesn't know that - it will add a shipping charge for each item. I can either issue a refund after payment, or if you let me know prior to payment, I'll send a revised invoice which reflects the correct shipping charge. Credit cards are accepted via Paypal - it is not necessary to have an account with them in order to use their payment service.

If you have any questions or encounter problems with the shopping cart or checkout process please email me at contact@lonerockjewelry.com

No. 8 Turquoise Wire Wrapped Earrings
These quality turquoise stones have a beautiful shade of light baby blue with some golden brown matrix. This turquoise is considered rare and collectible because the Number (No.) 8 mine in Nevada was depleted years ago. Smooth, nicely polished nuggets are wrapped and wired into a handmade frame of sterling silver. These earrings are 2" (5 cm) in length, including the ear wires.
$75.00



 

Lampwork Earrings - Sterling, Thai Silver
A handmade and wrapped sterling silver frame, a self-made lampwork glass bead, a gorgeously big Thai flower, and voila, earrings! The glass beads have a pretty shade of light periwinkle blue on a base of ivory, with black webbing. The beads were annealed in a kiln to increase the structural integrity of the glass. Total length is a little less than 2", and the flower is 1" in diameter. They're not as heavy as they might look - I'd consider them to be of medium weight.
$56.00

Lampwork Earrings - Vintaj Natural Brass
These lampwork glass beads are self-made, and were annealed in a kiln to increase the structural integrity of the glass. I modified a segment of brass chain and let them sway at the bottom.

Wire Wrapped Gemstone Earrings - Red Garnets
To make these sterling silver gemstone earrings I formed the frame, hammered it for effect, then hand coiled and wrapped fine silver wire around the frame and hung these gorgeous deep red garnet trillions in a chainmaille type fashion. About 1.75" long, including the ear wires. I then darkened the silver and polished the earrings by hand to give it this elegant antiqued look.
$42.00



 

Wire Earrings, Niobium, Apatite, Amethyst
I hand shaped the niobium wires for the frame which gets tricky because each earring has to be shaped with the swirl opposite to the other one. I used a little torch to get the fine silver wire to ball up on the ends, then wrapped these gorgeous stones of Caribbean blue apatite and grape purple amethyst, and decorated them with sterling accents. Niobium is hypoallergenic - customers have told me they can wear niobium when they can't wear anything else. These earrings are very lightweight, and total length is about 2" long. Other metals/color combinations - inquiries welcome!.
$29.00




Lampwork Glass Earrings, Antiqued Brass
I keep coming back to this combination, it's a perfectly earthy mix of colors. A self-made lampwork glass bead having an avocado brown shade of color as the base, then blue and black. I love the black webbing effect, or "bloom", which is a reaction that happens when the glass is heated so hot it almost run off the mandrel. These beads were annealed in a kiln to enhance the durability of the glass, and I made the earrings with naturally antiqued brown Vintaj brass and golden pewter. A little under 1.5" long, including the handmade ear wires.
$24.00



 

Wire Earrings - Golden Niobium, Antiqued Brass
This design is one of the ones I came up with when I first began to play with wire. They are made using simple hand tools, and the tricky part is making each one opposite the other. Anodized niobium wire of a nice yellow/gold color with the bronze brown color of the Vintaj chain and beads. About 2.25" long, including the handmade ear wires.
$27.00



 

Citrine Earrings with Antiqued Brass & Niobium
The combination of sparkly, golden yellow citrine gemstone briolettes and the brown or bronze look of antiqued Vintaj brass are quite pretty. Lightweight, go anywhere earrings. Total length is 1.75", including the handmade niobium ear wires. Niobium is hypoallergenic - if you are sensitive to other metals, it is a good choice.
$18.00
