FAQs:
When will my order ship?
If you ordered an item that is "ready to ship" then I generally ship between 1-3 business days after time of purchase.
If you ordered something that is "made to order" then I will begin production after receipt of payment.
My current production time required for me to make all of my one-of-a-kind items by hand is 2-3 weeks. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via my contact page: http://www.jamiespinello.com/contact.html
All buyers receive order confirmation emails, shipment dispatch email notices, and tracking numbers to track shipments. Please check your spam folder for all of these.
I ship US domestic orders via priority mail with tracking and all international orders via first class international which does come with partial tracking.
What if a listing sells out? Will you ever make it again?
For all of my one of kind works, I may make other designs inspired by similar themes in the future and list them during one of my shop updates. All of my work is one of kind, so no two designs will ever be exactly alike. I try to make between 2-3 shop updates a month if possible.

Orb Spider Necklace
Sold out
**Made to Order** Original one pictured has sold - I will make a one of a kind spider necklace, just for you. This necklace is hand drawn and etched by me. Each is free handed and one of kind.
Etched Copper - Stone shown is "snowflake obsidian". I am working on sourcing new teardrop stones to use for this piece. If you have a certain stone in mind please contact me first so that we can discuss the price. Please contact me about working out what stone I will use for your 'one of a kind' necklace. Generally I select a stone as close as possible to the one pictured, unless you have another stone preference, in which we would have to discuss first.
This listing is a commission for me to make another one of a kind spider necklace. No two will ever be exactly alike because each is hand drawn (free hand) and etched by me and comes with its own unique stone. I will seek another cuprite stone or discuss another stone option after checkout.
This piece is hand cut using a jewelers saw. 100% handmade and one of a kind!
size: width of centerpiece is 4" tall / 2.25" wide
Shown worn at 17". Adjustable options of 19" + 21" available, or longer if desired.
Inspired by a recent conversation I had with someone about orb spiders. Although these guys look intimidating, they are very beneficial to the garden and harmless to humans. Too many harmless creatures minding their own business are killed out of fear. Next time you see a garden spider, please remember that she is a beneficial and harmless and leave her be. They are the guardians of my gardens and I truly appreciate their help.
Production time estimate currently 2- 3 weeks before shipment
I do accept custom requests for etched designs:
Some ideas for a custom etchings would be a family seal, coat of arms, tribe symbols, shaman symbols, dates, personal symbols etc, astrological signs, charts etc. I draw and design the arrangement of the symbols etch, cut and form the cuff . Each are 100% handmade and one of a kind. The etch is very deep so unless it is run over or melted down will last essentially forever and will eventually become an artifact for a generation far into the future to find. You can also order a cuff with animals / plants / portraits but must talk to me first to see if your idea would be a good fit for the etching process that I use. Please msg me to discuss pricing and your custom project before purchasing.

Silver Nautilus Pendant

Check Out my Ammonite ring:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/238374544
Ammonites were prehistoric creatures that were (essentially) the predecessors of the present day chambered nautilus. They were cephalopods that lived on the bottom of the ocean inside their chambered shells millions of years ago. Each cell within their shell was a new room they built for their body as they grew, leaving behind the smaller cell they once inhabited, and so I view the chambered nautilus, as many do, as a symbol for the spiral of life; symbolizing how we endure and grow through our own chapters. I have always been fascinated by the chambered nautilus and its beautiful geometry, so exact and so absolute.

'The Chambered Nautilus'
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main,—
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed,—
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed!
Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathèd horn!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings:—
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!

Many species of snakes are given an unwarranted bad reputation and non-venomous species are killed for no other reason other than fear and ignorance. Snakes are integral to our ecosystem and an attribute to any garden. I made this cuff to honor all of the beauty of all the wonderful non venomous snakes that are often found around the garden. Read up on non venomous snakes in your area to familiarize yourself with their patterns and features to avoid killing a harmless species.
The snake is an ancient symbol of strength, wisdom and fertility in the mediterranean and was often a symbol that was worn as an adornment. Ancient practices and themes have always piqued my interest and have influenced my aesthetic in both my designs and drawings.

Spider Hunt Cuff Ring - Sterling Silver
Sold out
Spider Hunt Cuff Ring- Sterling Silver - Statement Ring - handmade in my Studio in Austin, Tx - Jamie Spinello
ADJUSTABLE, but please select your apx correct size from the menu.
*made to order
*please allow apx 2 weeks to make this, if I can make and ship this sooner, I will. If you need a rush, please contact me before ordering to see if it is possible.
Each ring cuff is made in my studio.
Material: Sterling Silver .925 (currently only offered in sterling silver, I am currently not offering this in copper or Bronze until further notice)
<<SIZING: Adjustable, but the metal is rigid and requires strength/tools for adjustment, so let me know your ring size during checkout so I can size it before shipment
For this particular ring cuff I recommend that your lower digit on your finger you want to wear this on be at least 1" long or longer. I think I have normal length fingers(my fingers are in the pictures), but anything shorter than that and I will probably need to custom make one to your size so that it fits comfortably. Just ask, it will be the same price, but will be made to order. >>
