Necklace and earrings

Here is a set I designed to be a reflection on vintage and modern, with a menage of ancient times. This set is done in copper with fire scale and the main stones are turquoise and natural gem stones. The colors are a magnificent blend of earthy tones ,with a sophisticated edge.

Necklace and bracelet

Here I have designed a set. The base metal is copper with fire scale and it is wrap and encrusted with Agate as the big stone and citron and garnet.

Necklace

This design was inspired by antique necklaces from the early 1900. I wrap sterling silver around amethyst stone and fresh water pearls. Plus earrings to match

Necklace and bracelet set

This set was inspired by the past of belle epic and an ethnic twist. The base metal is copper with fire scale and the stone are a sun star sapphire with garnet

Jewelry

I found the moss agate stones and loved the color and shape. I wanted to show the stone as the focus. I then liked the idea of showing the semi precious stone in a regal manner. I came up with a collar idea, which gives it an antique yet cultural feel. I also used silver wire to wrap stones along with silver chain and cut carnelian beads as accent. And earrings to match
     

Jewelry

This necklace and earring set I designed and produced. This is silver with a moss agate and pearls.

These bracelets I designed are Copper with fire scale and a varnish over so they with keep the color and pattern and not oxidize. The two bracelets to the right have a garnet set in the center.

Fashion

My favorite resale shop in Chicago. Is Savvy Seconds and 1st. Here I can bring in the clothes I no longer want and either get  cash or if I get credit I get more bang for my buck and basically trade my unwanted wears for wanted and I have scored some incredible finds!!! Everything from new with tags to vintage, designer, jewelry, purses, shoes, glasses. You name it. Every week there is something new!!!!  Love it!!!!

Faux painting

This faux finish I painted on an older piece of furniture. Originally it was a blonde wood color and had some scratches. So Ta DA!!!! Slap some paint or a faux finish and it can take on a new look!!! From distressed to antique. Also can look like a Million Bucks!!!! No need to get rid of something you may have that no longer works, just give it a facelift and you have a new piece of furniture.

Interior Design

Here is some of my interior design work.
When the building was gutted I went back in and used Vintage doors . I also found a combination of art work that was garage finds and vintage collectables, along with new influences. I also had the walls ragged so they had more of a stone look.

If the shoe fits

Love an exciting shoe! Make it be the statement piece to outfit. Like a piece of jewelry!!!! So if it fits wear it

Jewelry designs by Sheila

This necklace is one of my designs made of copper and silver with antique glass stone set in center has a modern feel and an antique twist.

This is bracelet and necklace set made of copper with  with a fire scale finish and stones are antique crystals

This necklace design is inspired my oyster shells I had  made a cast of and then I manipulate the wax and cast in bronze with a gold plate. I wanted it to have the feel of ancient Greece or Rome. I combine silver and gold crystals to the chain so it can be worn complimentary with either silver or gold.

I created this necklace to have an antique and earthy feel with a softness of color
