- Please read descriptions to identify the types of stones used ie precious gems such as garnets, sapphires, emeralds etc, Swarovski Crystals, Vintage Rhinestones, Glass, Acrylic etc. Where it is not specified this information was not obtained from the artist. In this case, we recommend the products is of lesser quality than top quality, for example glass instead of Swarovski and so on. Where a genuine quality stone or crystal is used the artists usually ensure they include this in the descriptions. Carefully viewing each picture may also help identifying quality, for example between acrylic and higher quality crystals and rhinestones including glass.
- Most of our photos are taken outside in natural light to ensure the best possible representation of the actual colour, intensity of stones and natural sparkle.

Silver choker with Garnet Pendant at clasp
Hand made with passion and presicion from Studio Budi Gold and Silversmith Works Silver itself is hand made to precision using traditional blending of the correct amount of copper and silver to ensure it is not too soft. This is called sterling silver, technically it is .975 silver and .025 copper. This is stamped .975 This is a one off item I did some time ago, and have only recently released for sale. I used a genuine garnet that is around 1cm long and quite deep, set it into a silver setting and welded the silver on one side of the pendant so that it is not able to fall off. I then used this centerpiece as the actual clasp or closure of the choker by fashioning a hook on the choker on the other side, which hooks into the garnet centerpiece setting. This is truly a statement piece. This item is not able to be ordered, one off piece Description and Images courtesy of the Studio Budi Gold and Silversmith Works.

The chain is gunmetal, keeping the dark death glam theme, whilst the brilliant rhinestones make this piece a stunning burlesque accessory or paired with a little black number would suit high fashion at the track or even a cocktail party or event. Alternative Bridal Themes especially would benefit from this piece. I love it! This item is not able to be ordered, one off piece Description and Images courtesy of the Studio Selma Designs.

Choker Dark Elegance HIgh Fashion
Hand made with passion and presicion from Studio Selma Designs This piece was made some time ago, I have had it on display in a sealed cabinet because I loved it so much I didn’t want to sell it! The time has come to move on and let this one go with regret. It is a choker made from stiff black material with chain closure at the back. The beaded pattern goes up the sides of the choker so the sides of your neck will sparkle with dark elegance as well as the front piece. I used marquisite rhinestone crystal beads to create the sparle, mixed with AB dark beads on the sides in an interwoven crossed pattern. The pendant area in the front, or dangle, is created using quality metal findings in between each crystal. Whilst it is delicate, it is darkly elegant and is a real statement piece. Perfect for high fashion with an alternative flair. This item is not able to be ordered, one off piece Description and Images courtesy of the Studio Selma Designs.

Hand made with passion and presicion from Studio Selma Designs This piece is from my Burlesque Bridal collection. I made a range of pieces containing the brilliant sparkle of rhinestone chatons placed in settings I felt would bring both the erotic excitement of a burlesque showgirl together with a bridal elegance. I always mix themes in each creation, to ensure pieces are suitable for high fashion as well as bringing alternative themes to the mix. Starting from the top, there are 13 mokey grey cabachon rhinestones set on the inner circle. All metal is a dark pewter or light gunmetal, leaning more towards pewter. Three flower settings follow, each with a smokey grey chaton rhinestone set in the center, the top being bigger than the side two. There is an inner circle, set with ten chaton rhinestones which encircle the large pewter flower with larger chaton set in center. On either side at the bottom of each of the smaller flowers is a pewter leaf arrangement with a smaller chaton set in the middle, a larger set under each. The dangle under the circle is a pewter flower the same style as the larger flower but the same size as the larger one of the first three. It is followed by the largest Smokey Grey Rhinestone set in a cicular finding. The chain is a chunky ball chain, in that it is comprised of many tiny balls to make a thick and sturdy chain, very unique.

What Wiki Has To Say About Necklaces, Pendants and Lockets...
A necklace is an article of jewellery which is worn around the neck. Necklaces are frequently formed from a metal jewellery chain, often attached to a locket or pendant. Necklaces can also be manufactured with cloth, and they sometimes contain rocks (particularly gems), wood, and/or shells with different shapes and sizes. Necklaces have been an integral part of jewelry since the time of ancient civilizations. The birth of necklaces is believed to be as old as the Stone Age, which is around 40,000 years old. At that time, people were decorating themselves with mollusk necklaces. Later, necklaces made of stones, bones, shells and animal teeth became popular. After the discovery of metals, gold, silver and a variety of other metals were used to make eye-catching necklaces for both men and women.
Types of Necklaces
Bib necklace
A bib necklace is made multiple strands of stepped pearls.
Choker
35 centimetres (14 in) to 43 centimetres (17 in) long and sits high on the neck.
Opera necklace
An opera necklace is 75 centimetres (30 in) to 90 centimetres (35 in) long and sits at the breastbone.
Princess necklace
A princess necklace is 45 centimetres (18 in) to 50 centimetres (20 in) long. It is between choker and matinee length.
Sautoir or rope necklace
A sautoir or rope necklace is any necklace longer than opera length.
Uniform necklace
A uniform necklace consists of pearls that appear to be all the same size, although normally there is a slight difference towards the ends so they appear to be in proportion.
Sharktooth
A sharktooth necklace is a necklace with a shark tooth attached.
A pendant (from Old French) is a hanging object, generally attached to a necklace or an earring. In modern French this is the gerund form of “hanging” (also meaning “during”). Pendants can have several functions:
Ornamentation
Identification (i.e. religious symbols, sexual symbols, symbols of rock bands)
Protection (i.e. amulets, religious symbols)
Self-affirmation (i.e. initials, names)
Ostentation (i.e. jewels).
Award (i.e Scouting Ireland Chief Scout's Award, Order of CúChulainn)
These purposes can be combined (i.e. a richly jewelled symbol).
A locket is a pendant that opens to reveal a space used for storing a photograph or other small item such as a curl of hair. Lockets are usually given to loved ones on holidays such as Valentine's Day and occasions such as Christenings, weddings and, most noticeably during the Victorian Age, funerals.
Lockets are generally worn on chains around the neck and often hold a photo of the person who gave the locket, or they could form part of a charm bracelet. They come in many shapes such as ovals, hearts and circles and are usually made of precious metals such as gold and silver befitting their status as decorative jewellery.
Lockets usually hold only one or two photographs, but some specially made lockets can hold up to eight. Some lockets have been fashioned as 'spinner' lockets, where the bail that attaches to the necklace chain is attached but not fixed to the locket itself which is free to spin, this was a common style in the Victorian Age.
Keepsake lockets can also be made with a glass pane at the front so that what is inside can be seen without opening the locket. These lockets are generally used for items like locks of hair which could fall out and become lost if the locket was repeatedly opened, whereas photograph lockets are generally enclosed on all sides and the photographs are secured by pieces of clear plastic.
Another kind of locket is/was made in a filigree style with a small cushion in the centre to which a few drops of perfume should be added, perfume lockets were popular in eras when personal hygiene was restricted and sweet smelling perfume was used to mask the odour of a person or their companions.
Very rare World War I- and II-era British and American military uniform locket buttons exist, containing miniature working compasses.
