Brandy Amber Handmade Sterling Silver Ring

Rich, brandy color genuine Amber is the focal point of this stunning handmade statement ring designed by A Second Time and made in our studio located in Calgary, Alberta. Amber is the fossilized sap from prehistoric trees that has aged over the course of millions of years and this ring is a beautiful way to showcase and preserve an important piece of earth’s history and evolution.

Mother Nature is confused!

In my last post, I remarked how the May Long weekend signals the beginning of summer here. This picture was taken just moments ago looking out my front door. Yes, it's SNOW! Heavy, wet, white snow! The moisture will be wonderful...but I think Mother Nature is confused on the dates!

Summer Days are here!

The past May long weekend signals the beginning of summer for most of us in Canada. This Steampunk inspired pendant, titled Each Day, will serve as a visual reminder that summer days are all too short here and inspire us to make the most of the hours we have to frolic in the sun.

The Each Day pendant is hand made using a vintage repurposed Swiss made watch movement and date wheel, gorgeous Neo Victorian antiqued silver tone filigree and accented with CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements.

Restyled Cascade Necklace

Luxurious creamy white vintage faux pearl beads are given a new purpose in this hand made necklace. Each vintage bead is meticulously wired to a nickel and lead free antiqued silver tone cable link chain that measures approximately 18” (45cm) in length. The chain closes securely and easily with a lobster style clasp. A single bead drops romantically from the clasp. The nine beads that cascade in the front of the necklace are graduated in size; the largest measures approximately 15mm and the smallest measures approximately 8mm. No longer for just for ‘old’ ladies, this necklace is now restyled for a modern look that will take you from blue jeans to weddings! This piece is available for purchase by clicking here.
