Items on New Selling Site: Addoway.com

Some of our items are now listed on a newly-found selling site--Addoway
This site features a wide variety of items of general buying interest, from fashions and clothing to housewares; it's more like a department store of small business owners rather than a crafting store.
Our first listings include two more of our silver dollar coin pendants:  a crystal (April birthstone color) rhinestone bezel with a 1922 Peace Silver dollar and a 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar with amethyst (February birthstone color) bezel.
Based on research with coin and vintage jewelry dealers, these bezel pendants were likely manufactured in the Providence, RI area in the 1950's when that was a fashion jewelry center.  Based on the number of coin pendants we have in the collection, we assume that the rhinestone colors were selected at birthstone colors.

From the custom jewelry department of our business, a new pair of gold filled wire ear pins has been added to the Addoway store; these ear sweeps have a colorful mix of Swarovski aquamarine, peridot, and citrine crystals.  We have a variety of ear pins and ear cuffs available for sale at our retail location:  Webster, FL market.
Items are also available for direct shipment.

For other sellers, click on the Addoway graphics link on the right, or click here.  Sign-up is easy and there is no cost until an item sells.  Pre-paid memberships are also available.

Vintage 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar in Peridot Green Studded Bezel with Chain

This 1921 U. S. Morgan Silver Dollar is one of a collection of 12 we recently obtained indirectly from an antique dealer desiring to clean out inventory.  It is currently (18 Jun 2011) available for sale on on ArtFire.com.  Others (both Morgan and Peace) are available at our retail location on Mondays.
This one has a silver tone finish on the bezel.  According to our coin dealer friend and also a jewelry metalsmith, the bezel and chain are not sterling silver.  The chain appears to be a type of stainless steeel.  I could not find any maker's mark on the bezel.  The peridot green stones (rhinestones) are quite nicely "cut", but of unknown material.

This is a lovely piece of vintage jewelry.
When available, additional pictures will be placed on our FaceBook page.
This view shows the back of the pendant and coin with the tabs intact.  The bail is a separate piece.

This one has a silver tone finish on the bezel.  According to our coin dealer friend and also a jewelry metalsmith, the bezel and chain are not sterling silver.  The chain appears to be a type of stainless steeel.  I could not find any maker's mark on the bezel.  The pink stones are quite nicely "cut", but of unknown material.  It is a lovely piece of vintage jewelry.
When available, additional pictures will be placed on our FaceBook page.

 This new pair of earrings combines the elegance of Swarovski Montana sapphire crystals and lapis lazuli round beads as a stepped trio of drops.  The silver lined gold Delica seed beads maintain a brilliance for the supporting pins.  The "blue jeans" color of the Swarovski Montana sapphire crystals works well with the blue lapis lazuli color.
This single pair of earrings is available for purchase at our DPCreations CraftIsArt.com web site and also at our Webster, FL retail location until sold.  Pictures will remain posted even after a sale.
We also have multiple colors of Swarovski crystals and crystal pearl earrings in the style represented here at our retail location.
