lilisgems handcrafted jewelry inspirations skip to content lilisgems handcrafted jewelry inspirations primary menu menu home about vintage paper ephemera jewelry creations part i july 17 2023 october 3 2023 lilisgems leave a comment having grown up traveling to europe every summer i have such nostalgic feelings when i find vintage scrap book paper as a child in the 1970s i would buy these new and then later in life i would collect older paper ephemera from the early 1900s i recently was cleaning out my office space and found my collection i decided that it was time to either part with them or or use them in a creative fashion so i decide to create some jewelry using some of the pieces i rediscovered olympus digital camera the bracelets were also fun to make brass bracelet blanks in various sizes love the santa cuff will have to make another one the bee pendant below was made using a vintage chandelier crystal and victorian paper scrap from a damage old scrap book you can find the pendant here i will leave you with one more creation this cuff is one of my favorites if i had to have one all of these pieces are fun to make and are reusing items that would otherwise be thrown out for the love of art nouveau august 14 2018 lilisgems leave a comment th i have always loved the art nouveau era from jewelry to architecture as you can see from the above examples it has a great influence on my jewelry designs there is something about the free flowing forms and nature that i find so appealing i am fortunate that i have had the opportunity to travel to europe and see the beautiful architecture first hand from germany to prague in the czech republic the above is an example off of a building in coburg germany i have many more examples of beautiful architecture to share soon the two bracelets below are how i like to make the art nouveau a bit more edgy if you would like to see more of my art nouveau inspired creations check out my etsy shop thanks for reading and looking if you would like to be added to my vip insiders mailing list for sales and special offers vip insiders do you have a favorite piece of art nouveau architecture honey bee jewelry mother nature as inspiration june 9 2018 lilisgems leave a comment in addition to making jewelry i love to garden as i work in the garden i love listening to the buzzing of all the various types of bees busy at work the faint buzzing of the honey bees to the louder bzzzzzzz of the bumble bees when i was a child my great grandfather had a wonderful garden of flowers and fruit trees he also raised honey bees one of many fond memories is of him collecting the honey from the hives or of him making us a thick slab of bread with butter and honey such lovely happy and simple times i created this line of honey bee jewelry with him in mind little petite bees in various finishes and your choice of bead color just one of many flowers from my garden you can find the bees here now back to my garden cleaning does pay off surprise vintage jewelry finds november 19 2017 lilisgems leave a comment this lovely vintage bohemian garnet brooch was mia couldn t find it i had been searching for it everywhere and was beginning to think that i had put it in lot of newer costume jewelry to go to auction this made me nervous angry with myself and of course a bit sad well the other day i was cleaning out some jewelry boxes and lo and behold this is what i found lots of forgotten bracelets and the brooch how that brooch got in there is a mystery there is an obvious theme of bangle bracelets and then this lonely lovely brooch many of the bracelets i have had for years and used to wear frequently perhaps i stopped wearing them because the box they were was lonely and forgotten this still doesn t solve the mystery of the single brooch but that is ok with me so i guess cleaning and reorganizing does pay off one of those tasks that i least enjoy but maybe now i will look at it as an adventure i may just find some forgotten treasures like the ones below victorian style santa jewelry november 17 2017 november 17 2017 lilisgems 2 comments i love the holiday season the anticipation of being with family and friends the music the cool weather and of course the decorations i grew up with old victorian and early european christmas ornaments and decorations when i saw this lovely raku santa pendant made by harry wood i just had to have it and not just this one i made it into a necklace along with some of his raku beads i should have kept it but it is being enjoyed my someone else there is something about the nostalgic feel of his pieces that draws me to them and to create some fun holiday jewelry though some lovers of christmas keep things up all year here are three more necklaces that i sold using harry wood s lovely pieces what a lovely way to get into the holiday spirit i have two more pieces available in my etsy shop at the moment the first i just put on a simple chain and can be found here the second is a sweet pudgy faced fella with some vintage glass sugar beads and orange beads he can be found here there is one more available but i can t seem to find a photo of him so just follow this link and you will be surprised finally if you want to see more of harry wood s awesome creations here is a link to his etsy shop these would all make great gifts for that lover of christmas now off to start decoration for the holidays or is it too soon 1928 jewelry collection brooches july 16 2017 lilisgems leave a comment i don t usually wear brooches so i do not have many in my collection this is one that i found quite interesting the pink and green combination reminds me of the old miami florida plus who doesn t love a flamingo probably will just keep this on the card or may wear it as a pendant this locket brooch was in a large lot of jewelry that i purchased again not really something that i would normally wear but love the nod to old victorian lockets what a whimsical piece for sure love how the bouquet the girl is carrying is almost as big as she the pickets fence and moon add to the whimsy i may try to wear this as a pendant will have to see how it works out just just kinda fell in love with this one for nostalgic reasons only again love bouquets in vases this one with a hint of whimsy as well finally my favorite so far this i will absolutely wear as a pendant fantastic detail down to the bohemian dangle earrings collection obsession 1928 jewelry july 14 2017 july 14 2017 lilisgems 4 comments is it really an obsession fun just collecting fashion hoarding all of the above i am in love with 1928 jewelry especially the vintage older pieces i have recently added a few new pieces to my collection as well it is timeless jewelry that is beautifully designed and made here in the usa someone should write a book about the company i will start by sharing some photos and then hope to get into more detail in a later post maybe show how i wear the jewelry collection obsession vintage brass stampings october 21 2016 lilisgems leave a comment ok i admit it i have a problem i am obsessed with vintage brass stampings and findings the above photo shows maybe 1 4 of what i have i use these to make jewelry if i have multiples of the same piece i keep one of each and if i only have one then that gets kept as well it started with my love of anything vintage and art nouveau and then just ballooned into a collection i love the detail designs smell touch and design of vintage brass things just aren t made like this anymore yes new brass stampings are being made even from old dies but the detail gets lost the actual process of how these were made is quite intriguing now deciding on how to display these without ruining the pieces any suggestions b sue boutiques change it up blog hop september 25 2015 september 26 2015 lilisgems 28 comments welcome to the change it up blog hop sponsored by brenda sue lansdowne of b sue boutiques the idea of this blog hop was to use one of the following raw brass pieces from b sue boutiques in a unique way or in a way we had never used it before in addition the style of the piece should be with a vintage flair you can read more about the background here i chose to use the first one in the upper left corner lf09727 i had used this piece before as a focal in a necklace with this necklace i used the lovely rose ox finish but for my blog hop piece i used the raw brass i aged two of the raw brass pieces by soaking in a salt and vinegar solution and then baking them in the oven this method allows for a lovely rich vintage looking patina here are some examples of other raw brass pieces done using this salt and vinegar method i of course forgot to take photos of the pieces i cut before making them into jewelry but here is an example using the same leaf focal just in the rose ox finish i am planning on making another necklace using these in the rose ox finish as well what i did soaked my cleaned raw brass pieces in salt water and vinegar solution and baked in the oven cut the focals apart using these shears sanded and filed the rough edges sealed the brass with renwax made jewelry here is what i made using two of the raw brass focals i made a parure i used vintage glass faceted cabochons in a very pale lavender color part of my inspiration was this lovely vintage necklace but i was also inspired my some of the old hollywood costume jewelry designers especially joseff of hollywood brooches are in style right now and so are bolder necklaces and long bold earrings here are some more photos for you to enjoy you can click on the photos if you want to see an enlarged picture for more detail and then hit the back button to come back to the post first photo show the necklace earrings and brooch then the brooch and earrings together and then just the necklace thanks for stopping by and don t forget to check out the others on the list below brenda sue
