Artisan Aztec Clasps - Handmade Jewelry Findings

Artisan Aztec Clasps - Large, Small and Tiny

My handmade Artisan Aztec clasps were an inspiration from my signature Kites, another original design of mine, since 2009.   I adore these clasps because of there unique and secure style, which makes a fabulous closure to any handmade jewelry piece.



Handmade Jewelry Findings - Artisan Aztec Clasps

I create my Aztec clasps in 3 different sizes: Large, Small and Tiny, as well as in different metals and finishes.  They are sold as a set and individually in both of my handmade to order findings shops on Etsy and Artfire.

Artisan Clasp Findings - Square Hook

 What better way to complete your handcrafted jewelry creation than with a handmade clasp.

I create and design many styles that can be found in my Etsy and ArtFire online shops.  Today I'm featuring my Square Clasp design.

 I create these clasps in Sterling Silver, Copper, 14k Gold Filled and Silver Filled 18 gauge and 20 gauge wire.  If you like your clasps oxidized, I also do that in a Dark Gunmetal and Antiqued finish.

Some designs, like my Rustic copper set above, have a wire wrapped eye link closure while others a jump ring.  Either way, this style truly makes a statement. 

Artisan handmade jewelry findings - from my hands to yours.

Handmade Link Connector Findings - Twist n Wraps

Here are my handmade Twist n Wraps that I create in Fine Silver and Copper Wire.  These fun findings can be used to twist and wrap around your jewelry or handcrafted creations for that extra special touch.

Or use these fun findings in place of jump rings as unique connectors.

Link them together or with other findings to create something spectaculor!

The key here is imagination, so let it take off and see where it goes!

You can find my Twist n Wraps in my Etsy Shop and in my ArtFire Studio.  If you can't find the quantity you are looking for or have other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Guess I better wrap this up and get to work - pun intended :)

Peace,

Handmade Jewelry Supply Findings Intro - by Rocki Adams

Handmade Antiqued Ear Wires

I decided to start a second blog dedicated to my work and this post is a brief intro for today. That is me above, well my hands actually ;) and I'm applying an oxidized, hand brush technique to antique an order of Sterling Silver ear wires: my Tiny French Hoops. 

Oh and my main blog, which I'll be posting more to, can be found here.  That is where I talk about anything that strikes me and also share other talented artists.

My Peaceful Busy Studio

Many years ago, my metalwork bench started out in the garage until I outgrew my little space, at least that’s what hubby said. Then he helped me remodel a spare room into a studio. I don’t know who was happier – me, as I got my very own home studio or very supportive hubby, since he got his garage back! 

Variety of some of my Original Design Signature Kites

What I’m most proud of to date are my original design Signature Kites, which have expanded into an entire series of a variety of ear wires and clasps. Formally titled “Go Fly A Kite”, they came to life in 2008 and, well here’s my orignal blog post with more details of their debut: http://rockisrocknbeads.blogspot.com/2009/02/awe-go-fly-kite.html

Coming from the corporate world many moons ago, I had no idea I had a creative side.  So if you have a goal, don’t let anyone or anything stop you. My motto for many years has been "never give up.” No matter if it is a goal to reach or one of many obstacles to overcome that life throws at you - with a positive attitude, strength, determination, faith, willpower and the love and support of family and friends, you will get through it - usually with a better outcome.

Peace,
