It's non-stop creativity here at Old Maid HQ, and I've never been so happy to get out of bed in the mornings.
I've got a few new items in the shop this week, plus I've spent some time revamping photos for a few items already in stock. As time goes on, I learn more about photographing jewelry and I get a better idea of how I want the shop to look, so I review older listings to see how I can improve them.
I made one of these bracelets for myself a couple of weeks ago. I love wearing it and have received lots of compliments, so I made a few styles to put in the shop. I'm definitely going to make a some more for myself, too. I really like how they look grouped together.
My sister Rachel bought a pair of these quite some time ago and I'm finally getting some into the shop. Those are fancy chrome-plated lock washers that are used on motorcycles. Very shiny! This pair is 3 inches long from the top of the silvertone ear wire.
This is the same style in a smaller (2 inch long) size. Did you know they keep the chrome-plated fasteners under lock and key at the hardware store? Neither did I, but they do. I always feel like I'm asking to view the crown jewels when I have the case opened.
This is one of the pairs I've had in the shop for a while but I shot some new photos. They are the same style and size as the previous earrings, but made from reclaimed zinc washers with a pretty matte patina. I really like the contrast of the matte and shiny finish.
Visit Sow's Ear Jewelry on Etsy for more information on these and other great designs!

These would make great steampunk pieces as well!
I agree! Etsy allows me to use 13 keyword tags for each listing to help people find my work; one of the tags I used is "steampunk." :)
These are beautiful! I can't believe you made the earrings out of reclaimed washers! How clever!
