Shazzabeth - Specialising in
Chainmaille Jewelry & Wire Work Jewelry
The handcrafted artisan jewelry created by Shazzabeth is amazing. There is no better way to describe it; you need to slowly go through this shop and actually look at each piece this wonderful artisan has on display.
Her wire skills are top notch; and while the technical aspect of her pieces will make you think "how did she ever do that?", the beauty of this handmade jewelry is truly astounding. This designer specializes in wire-wrapping and chainmaille, two very different techniques. The wire-wrapped pendants in this shop are gallery worthy - the type of jewelry you see on the cover of handcrafted jewelry magazines. Combining unbelievable lengths of wire and fabulous cabochons, these pieces are truly one of a kind. You'll love the intricate wirework on display here!
Chainmaille jewelry is made by fashioning wire into rings, then linking them together to produce jewelry. Shazzabeth has a fantastic array of beautiful chainmaille bracelets, necklaces and earrings, many using traditional patterns - but also newer designs, some accented with fabulous beads to add color. This can give these traditional jewelry creations an inner glow - as in the featured bracelet shown above, the luxuriousSterling Silver Box Chain with Swarovski Crystals.
There are hours of labor and untold lengths of silver wire in some of these pieces, so yes ... most of them are higher-end jewelry that can be expensive. But Shazzabeth also has less expensive items, like this pretty Rhodonite and Sterling Cocktail Ring for just $12.00! There are fabulous gifts in this shop, so get over to Shazzabeth today and check it out. You'll find yourself falling in love with this designer's gorgeous handmade jewellery!
