My First Attempt at Oxidizing Silver


Here are the results of my first attempt at oxidizing sterling silver earrings with liver of sulfur. The process was easier and went much smoother than expected. I had purchased liver of sulfur over a year ago and just never took the time to experiment, because I thought the process would be complicated. I absolutely love the steel gray tone of the oxidized silver, and can't wait to create more jewelry!

Bracelets, Bracelets, Bracelets!

I feel like I have been really behind in making bracelets, so I spent the last few days on a bracelet-making frenzy! I got a total of 10 bracelets completed, photographed and listed. If I do say so myself, I think they turned out really nice. Here are a few examples:


This bracelet is created with swirl-cut smoky quartz beads, crystals and freshwater pearls. I also created one, similar in design, using bronzite and gold vermeil beads.


You just can't go wrong with Bali silver! This is one of two Bali silver bracelets that I have created. Both feature ornate handmade Bali silver beads with adjustable toggle clasps.



This colorful Swarovski crystal bracelet is accented with gold vermeil beads and sterling silver twisted rings. I completed two other multi-crystal bracelets, which both feature Bali silver. Other new bracelets include an Amethyst and Keishi Pearl Bracelet and a Crystal Quartz and Bali Silver Bracelet. Visit our website, http://www.myraelizabeth.com/, to see all of our new designs!

New Findings Shop Open on Etsy

I finally took the time to go through my ridiculously vast inventory of beads and findings, and grouped together the items I'm no longer using in my jewelry designs. So, I have opened a new shop on Etsy, Findings by ME (Myra Elizabeth). The shop currently includes an extensive collection of watch faces, and I have a few pieces of Hill Tribe Silver left. Coming soon, I will be adding sterling silver charms, Bali Silver toggles and much more!
