Moonstone Necklaces

Moonstone Necklaces Just Hit The Website

For this collection I have combined my love for everything vintage & retro with the current boho jewelry trend. Dark Oxidized sterling silver provides a rich backdrop for moonstone flashes, opal iridescence and regal amethyst.
Moonstone Necklace Opal Necklace
Each piece has been handcrafted by my two hands. In the opal & moonstone necklace in the photo above I have combined an oval Australian opal that has flashes of blue, green, orange and yellow with an asymmetrical pear shaped moonstone that has deep flashes of blue and purple. Each piece has a unique chain that has been hand picked to compliment every pendant. 
Amethyst Moonstone Necklace Boho
A unique boxy sterling silver chain is paired perfectly with this charming pendant. This amethyst moonstone necklace is out of this world. The trillion shaped, faceted amethyst gemstone draws out the purple & blue hues in the oval shaped moonstone gem. I hand oxidized the sterling silver to give it that contrast I love so much.

The third piece in this collection has the most exquisite details.This opal and moonstone necklace has a gorgeously detailed sterling silver flower on the front. From the back you can see that the shape of the piece is actually an owl. I sawed a crescent moon cut out on the back so you can enjoy the moonstones flash on the backside as well. Click on the photo to see all of these amazing details.

Personalized Jewelry Gift Ideas Angel Wing Necklace
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, personalized jewelry gifts are the hottest most sought after item. There is nothing better than receiving a gift from someone we love. Not all gifts are created equal though. While all the gifts I've received in my life have been well received there are a few that stand out because they were heartfelt. They were given without expecting anything in return. The recipients smile or tears say everything. At Inspired by Elizabeth we love to be part of all your special moments. We have put together a collection below of gifts we believe will make her smile.

You Are Beautiful & Unique - Your Mothers Ring Should Be Too

At Inspired by Elizabeth we know how special moms are. We have handmade hundreds of custom made Mother’s Rings for our special customers. Unique Mothers jewelry is hard to find and when most people hear the word "mothers Ring" they cringe at the thought of the generic highly manufactured rings our moms and grandmothers wore. Don't get me wrong I have seen some amazing vintage mother's rings but most of them make me cringe too and that’s ok because times change, fashion changes and mothers rings change too.

Charitable Weddings - Giving Back On Your Wedding Day

                 Weddings That Give Back - A How To Guide

Recently, it has become more common to see people choosing to give back on one of the happiest days of their lives. Couples have been finding new and innovative ways to involve charitable giving in their wedding and it can range from favors, to cost effective and eco-friendly products. If you are considering having a wedding that gives back, we have some great ideas for you to consider.

PictureEco Friendly Wedding Invitations made from flower seed paper from Of The Earth
Invitations  

From save the date cards, to invitations, and RSVPs, invitations can be damaging to the environment. Traditional papermaking involves harsh bleach and the processing creates even more waste, but there are still ways to have your invitations on paper. Look for companies that specialize in tree-free paper or recycled paper. For those wanting to go that extra step, you can also get recycled paper with seeds inside of it; when your recipients have the date down, they can plant their paper in the garden and flowers, trees or vegetables will grow. These invitations are from Of The Earth and are made with flower seed paper.

Bridesmaid Gifts
 
Choosing where to purchase your bridesmaid's gifts or jewelry can be a tricky task. Purchasing gifts that your bridesmaids will actually wear again is another story. One shop that is sure to check all your  boxes is Inspired by Elizabeth. 5% of their profits are donated to empowering young women through wonderful organizations like StreetightUSA that support young girls recovery from sex trafficking. Make your ladies happy and change the world. Each box can be personalized with your bridesmaid's name or special  message. They also carry groomsmen gifts and bridal jewelry. Giving back has never been so beautiful.

Create a charitable gift registry with the I Do Foundation.
Register for Charitable Donations or Gifts 

Many sites now offer a way to create a wedding registry for charitable giving, and you can choose from many charities that will suit your desired way of support. The I Do Foundation is a great way to get started and makes it easy for guests to be able to help out charities in need, in your honor. 
Rent a Not-for-Profit Reception Site  
Paying your site fee to a not-for-profit organization goes to help them in their various causes, whether it is the upkeep of the property or for training volunteers or more. Imagine your reception taking place in something beautiful like a botanical garden, a historical site or even a museum. Not only will your guests love the location, but you will be supporting a local not-for-profit with your site fee, as well as raising interest among close friends and family about the location.


Décor & Ambiance

Transforming your reception area into the space of your dreams can be challenging. Allowing your kind heart to shine through is easy, with these beautiful candles from Feya Candles. Each candle purchased provides a meal for a child in need. Not only will your reception be stunning but your guests can delight in taking these beauties home with them as wedding favors.

March is one of my favorite months of the year most notably because of the arrival of spring. When I lived in NM the dead of winter was only bearable by the hope of spring. The promise of new life. The world becomes new again. Living in Arizona now there is not this distinct cycle of seasons but I will take the warmth over the cold any day!

Steampunk Ring Handcrafted Jewelry: Behind The Scenes at Inspired by Elizabeth

Steampunk Rings

Steampunk Ring
What I love most about creating Steampunk jewelry, particularly Steampunk rings, is the uniqueness of every piece. Every watch movement tells a story. They all come to me with a unique tale to tell. These stories are quietly revealed in their brand names, their watch faces and the intricate text written inside the actual watch itself waiting to be revealed.  I often wonder about the person who once wore the watch itself. Was the watch a gift, was it a piece they held dear or was it easily discarded by the posh that have too many trinkets to call one sacred?  Was this watch worn during the flapper era, worn by a woman or minority voting for the first time, or worn by a Don Draperesqe man in the 1960’s? This is all so fascinating to me and this is why I continue to make these unique rings.

The watch movements I use in creating these rings are all well known, high quality brands such as gruen, bulova, elgin and more. I do not use any of the lower brand name watch pieces (timex, citizen) that come a dime a dozen. I carefully inspect each piece making sure it is stable for use in my jewelry. Some pieces have already been removed from the watch while others I remove myself. It is like opening a present. While I have a good idea of what I will find inside I am always in awe of the uniqueness of some of these watch pieces.

Even the watch faces, or dials if you will, can vary greatly. Some have intricate embossed designs, roman numerals or more traditionally numbers, gold or brass hands (some still attached), varying shapes and sizes from long rectangles, squares ovals and even circles. Some of the watch faces are medal while others, often older pocket watch faces, are porcelain and very delicate in nature.  I remove the watch faces before making the ring. I usually sell these to private buyer or online with watch movements that are either not up to par with my standards or are in styles or colors that I do not use. Needless to say I am very picky with the materials I choose to use to create your fabulous ring.

I am also very picky in the band I choose to create your ring with. I generally use four different styles. One is an antique silver filigree ring. These are sealed and are very durable. These are not the thin flimsy rings associated with some other Steampunk rings. I have had mine for years now and I love it. The second is the same type of filigree ring only antique brass. The third is a solid band ring with an adjustment (gap) hidden in the front. This works great for sizes 6-12 and for those that do not want a gap in the back of their ring. The adjustment here is hidden in the front under the watch movement. This is the type I use when creating rings for men. Lastly I also have a fabulous two tiered sterling silver band.

As if the watch movement variations and band types weren’t enough variation for you I also use amazing Swarovski Crystals to add color and uniqueness to your ring. Many of my rings are already made and ready to purchase but I also create Custom Steampunk Rings as well. These are great if you have a favorite color, want to include your birthstones, or even create a mother’s ring.
