She dances at night when the moon is right...
"Gypsy At Heart"
16" long .925 Sterling Silver chain combined with a leather Greek cord holds 8 vintage "three pence" coins:
year 1941, 1931, 1937, 1932, 1941, 1934, 1941 and 1936.
Earrings are handcrafted out of sterling silver chain and wire and accented with 5mm faceted genuine black onyx beads.
Coins: year 1930 and 1937.
Leather cord ends are all .925 sterling silver, marked with my favorite symbol "X".
Each coin and all rings are fused(permanently attached) to a sterling silver chain. Tiny heart, sterling wire and leather cord ends are oxidized to match the look of coins. Ear wires are for pierced ears, left bright and shiny.
At any time during your dance the coins will make mysterious sound as they gently hit each other.
The center point of any Gypsy costume!
Black onyx is the stone of protection.
Three pence-former cupronickel coin of the United Kingdom equal to three pennies. Year 1941 is silver.
"X"-Gebo (G)=gift, balance, love, partnership, friendship, understanding and so many other things.

One-Of-A-Kind Sterling Silver Hand Stamped Heart & 1920 Vintage Key Necklace
"The Key To My Heart"
18" .925 Sterling Silver cable chain holds one-of-a-kind 1920 1 1/4" high Vintage Key, sterling silver heart pendant-hand stamped with my favorite symbol, genuine ruby roundel, moonstone faceted beads and freshwater pearl.
Both chain and a heart are oxidized for an old look and to match the color of the key.
The hand stamped symbol for this necklace is based on Elder Futhark
runic alphabet. "X"-Gebo (G)=gift, balance, love, partnership, friendship, understanding and so many other things.
Ruby is the stone of passion and when given as a gift, it is a symbol of friendship and love.
Moonstone is the stone of passionate love.
