Turquoise Nouveau Garden Pendant
*One of a Kind* This piece is completely sculpted by hand out of wax and then cast in Sterling Silver.
About this design:
I utilized wild native central Texas plants and plants from my garden to create the frame for this unique Turquoise stone. This one of a kind piece is part of a series of pieces I have been creating for a few years. I sculpt each one of a kind piece out of wax and then cast my one of kind wax model, transforming it into solid sterling silver, using a form of traditional metal casting that has been used for thousands of years to create metal sculptures and jewelry.
This is meant to be worn short or at a medium length, to lay against the chest on display.
Necklace Length Options:
15" with 17" adjustment
16" with 18" adjustment
17" with 19" adjustment
longer sizes upon request (just add to notes your desired length)

FeverFew Earrings
FeverFew Leaf Earrings - Handmade in Austin, Tx - Plant Jewelry - Statement Earrings - made by Jamie Spinello
Size: From ear wire to the tip of the leaves, each measures just under 2" long.
Parthenium Hysterophorus, also known as Santa Maria Feverfew. I was really attracted to the lacy leaves of this "weed" growing in my garden, so I utilized its leaves in a few designs and learned more about it. 'SantaMaria Feverfew' / 'Parthenium Hysterophorus', is a native plant to northern Mexico and Texas. Although it is often pulled from the garden as a weed, it actually has positive affects on the surrounding plants by pulling nitrogen from the air and releasing it into the soil. It was once used by native people for treatment of fever illnesses, similarly to the European FeverFew herbaceous plant.
Material: The pair in the picture is cast in Bronze. {pick your material preference from drop down}

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!

Bronze Bone Bangle

This bangle was made from a mold that was a discontinued design given to me by a friend years ago that no longer makes jewelry.
The mold was made from linking models of an Ulna bone together that originated from a possum that met its untimely end on a roadside. The Ulna is the larger of the two forearm bones.
Each is made to order, which means, my production of the design begins after purchase.
material: Solid Bronze
Coated with a sealer to prevent oxidation

Wreath of Endurance Diadem Pendant
Wreath of Endurance Diadem Pendant
I made this in 2019 and originally entitled it "Corona Diadem" Pendant, which is latin for crown and greek for crown, the base of the word "diadeo" meaning "to bind around."
In 2020, I have changed the name for obvious reasons. This design now represents something quite different for me and I see it as a symbol for endurance.
This design is symbolic of ceremonial harvest wreath ornaments and binding rituals.
Each is one of a kind, I twist new pieces on making each a little different.
Material: Sterling Silver
Dimensions of wreath: 1.6" x 1.6"
Chain: Stainless Steel
Chain Length:
Please pick from drop-down {or you can request a custom length in notes during checkout}
I make these in my studio one at a time. This is a limited edition production, there will be slight variations between each piece due to the handmade quality. Please allow time for production if it is not listed as ready to ship. Generally, my production is 2-3 weeks unless a very large order is placed or during high volume times of the year around the holidays.
Each is made to order, which means, my production of the design begins after purchase.

These are mutated (fasciated) seed pods from a Mexican Evening Primrose that I cast into bronze and made into earrings last year.
