It's all about unique handmade jewelry: Sleek & Chic, Funky & Chunky and all points in between. I enjoy working with a variety of materials; gemstones, pearls, vintage and other unique elements. As a result, it's not always possible to duplicate a piece. Each item will be accompanied by a description, i.e. sterling silver, type of gemstone, history of vintage item(s). etc. With that said, Let's get this party started!
For your enjoyment...

Soar!

“People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.”

The Chic Peach: tcp1658- "Tenacity" - necklace

tcp1658- "Tenacity" - necklace

Found this medal and was pleased to see it was made of sterling. Most of the medals I've encountered are pewter. The front of the medal reads:
"NY Evening Newsboys 1912 Athletic Meet".

It was awarded for the Tug of War event. I wonder about the recipient of this medal. This young man rose each morning and walked his route, despite weather conditions. Skipping the route because he was tired, or not feeling well wasn't an option. Isn't it fitting that someone with that type of determination would win in Tug of War? Tenacity, Determination, Resolve. Qualities that surely served him well throughout his life...
