Sea Creatures

This collection was inspired by my continuing obsession with all the weird and varied creatures of the ocean. I really cannot get enough of this stuff. You should see me during shark week on the discovery channel. Glued all day to the TV. This is just a start to my tribute to the deep. There are cuttlefish and crabs, octopi (thats multipule octopuses), whales and sharks; even goldfish. Who knows what else may show up here? My new handmade metal charms can come in sterling silver, brass, or copper. They all have sterling silver findings, and hang from dainty silver or 14kt gold fill chains. And all my ocean pendants come with a pearl or shell that hangs from the clasp down the back of your neck.

Please use my new shopping cart! If you need to be more specific, just email me. I hope the shopping cart is self-explanatory, but if confused, just email me! To see examples of the pendant and earring finishes click here.

Crabby Pendant ..... $50.oo ($60 in sterling silver)

Aren't I just the cutest little crab you have ever seen? In this picture I am made from silver, with silver bezels holding sparkly fused glass for my eyes. I hang on a 16 inch chain, which you can get in silver or gold. All my findings are sterling silver. I am myself just a tiny crab, at an inch and a quarter wide; but soon you will be able to also order my larger brother, who will be about 2 inches wide!

I also come in brass, copper (which is also pretty fun) and antiqued versions of all those metals, your choice! You can also pick my eye color.

 

 

 

 

     

Crabby Reverse Pendant.... $45.oo ($55.oo in silver)

Do I look familiar? I am the reverse of my cousin above! I am made from the metal surrounding the crab cutout, Maggie thought I looked pretty cool like this. I range a bit in size, but will be a tad under 2 inches in diameter. In this picture I am brass with the antiqued finish and am hanging from the 16 inch gold chain. Like all the other pendants in this collection, I have a little freshwater pearl dangling from my hook in the back.

 
     

Goldfish Earrings.... $38.oo ($43.oo in silver)

What sweet little frolicsome fishies! This pair of goldfish will dance just below your ears. The ones shown here are copper, with the ones in blue being the fresh, new copper, and the ones on the green are antiqued. I don't coat my metals, so they will change and age over time, which I think is pretty cool. They kind of grow with you!

Their eyes are made of sterling silver, and so are their hooks. They are around three quarters of an inch wide, and you can wear them swimming towards your head or away, depending on your mood, or theirs.

 
     

Little Fishes Earrings.... $26.oo ($31.oo in silver)

These are cute little dime-sized fish earrings. I love the rough circles the bubbly little fish inhabit. In this picture they are made from blackened copper. These little cuties make great everyday earrings, lightweight but very pretty.

 
     

Cuttlefish Pendant .... $50.oo ($60.oo in silver)

Know what I am? I'm a relative of the Squid, but I have a much cuter name! And here on this pendant I even have a little fishy friend. I'm about an inch and a half long, and hand from a 16 inch chain. In this photo I am brass, and my fish is silver. But we can be any metal you like! You also get to pick a color for my glass eye!

 
     

Cuttlefish Reverse Pendant ..... $50.oo ($60.oo in silver)

Do I look familiar? I am the reverse of my cousin above! I am made from the metal surrounding the cuttlefish cutout, Maggie thought I looked pretty cool like this. I range a bit in size, but will be a around 2 inches in diameter. I have a little fish friend that swims along with me wherever I go. He comes in a contrasting metal from me so he stands out.

In this picture I am brass with the antiqued finish and am hanging from the 16 inch antiqued silver chain. The antiquing of the silver causes it to range in color from a deep brown to a blue/black. Like all the other pendants in this collection, I have a little freshwater pearl dangling from my hook in the back.

 
     

Sharky Pendant .... $42.oo ($52.oo in silver)

Grrrr, I'm sharkie, or Mack the Knife, depending on my mood. I was made for action, check out my moves! In this picture I am made from copper that's been antiqued a bit for a deeper, orangey color. I've got a silver bezel that holds my glass eye.

I'm hanging from a 16 inch silver chain in this photo, and I've got a little pearl that dangles down the back of your neck!

 
     

Whale Pendant .... $46.oo ($56.oo in silver)

This is the little guy who started the whole ocean collection! He comes in just under an inch and a half long. This particular one is in brass with a little round silver eyelet for an eye. He has been dapped all over to give him his delightful texture.

He is hanging from a 16 inch sterling silver chain, with a darling little pearl to dangle down your neck!

 
   

Whale Reverse Pendant .... $45.oo ($55.oo in silver)

Do I look familiar? I am the reverse of my cousin above! I am made from the metal surrounding the whale cutout, I'm the reverse pendant that inspired the rest! I range a bit in size, but will be around 2 inches in diameter. In this picture I am brass with the antiqued finish and am hanging from the 16 inch silver chain. Like all the other pendants in this collection, I have a little freshwater pearl dangling from my hook in the back.

 
   

Goldfish Reverse Pendant .... $45.oo ($55.oo in silver)

Awww, the fishies are in love. Gotta be happy for 'em. This pendant is about three inches across. Its textured around the edges, with some extra texturing in the middle here and there for fun. The one in the picture is made of copper, and has been heated to get some crazy colors to come out. The chain in the picture is blackened silver. They hang from a sixteen inch chain, with a pearl dangling off the back!

 

 
   

Octopus Pendant .... $66.oo ($86 in silver)

Such a big and happy clown of an Octopus! Count his arms, I believe I got them all in, which takes some doing, let me tell you. I love him in brass, but would REALLY love to see him in silver, I just haven't needed to use up that much silver yet... He comes in at two inches across, and two and a quarter tall. And you get to choose the colors of his eyes!

The guy in this photo is brass, on a silver chain.

What could be better? I haven't seen any cuter brass octopuses out there, have you?

 

 
   

Jellyfish Pendant .... $68.oo (78.oo in silver)

Cute little jellyguy. His body might be solid, but his little legs swing too and fro as you go about your daily business. But don't worry, this happy little guy will keep people from taking you to seriously.

The jelly shown has a brass body and silver legs. he hangs from a 16 inch chain, but it also has a three inch extender chain, so you can dangle him just where you want him off your neck!

 

 
   

Jellyfish and Starfish Pendant .... $98.oo

Hmmm, look familiar? I'm the same guy as above, I just made a friend! Silly Jelly has a starfish friend. They swim along together from your neck, charming everyone they meet.

This group is a collection of metals too. The starfish is copper, the jelly's head is brass, and his legs are silver! This necklace is about an inch and a quarter wide, and a bit over three inches long.

they hang from a 16 inch chain, but they also have a three inch extender chain, so you can dangle them just where you want to off your neck!

He is so cute! I can't really think of anything else to say, but that. He was the first teeny tiny charm I made, cause I wanted one for myself. Thats usually how it starts...

This one is silver on a blackened silver chain.

I love the look of the tiny charm on a delicate chain. Each chain is 16 inches long unless otherwise asked for. The teeny tiny pendants are always somewhere between a half inch and three quarters of an inch in size. Tiny charm, big impact!
