Natural Bourn Handmade & Re-designed Jewelry
I have been making jewelry since I was in Jr. High School, I became a designer and took classes got my license and work in my shop daily to be where I am today... I still learn new things as I travel in my adventures. I love vintage jewelry and beads made of glass or natural gemstones/earthly materials like stones or wood. I rarely use synthetic stones, unless they are passed on from a nostalgic piece of long ago or requested. I love anything from the sea. However, I have always been inspired by the natures of "Outdoor Earthy Colors" which gives my jewelry endless possibilities. Working with earth-tone metals, MOSTLY BRASS, adding a splash of color for balance. I also collect time worn jewels of the past, transform and give new life. Since my work is handcrafted, each piece is "One-of-a-Kind....made from mostly of natural born elements or salvaged antique and vintage treasures gathered from estate sales, flea markets or handed personal collections, which I may not be sure of the metals origin.. I will note on items if the metal is from actual vintage reborn or new Vintaj Natural Brass. On request, many people send me their short necklaces and ask me to "recreate" a new necklace or update the style from and heirloom or favorite necklace that they no longer wear....for me to design special orders with your choice of colors and metals. . . simply email me! www.BourneElementsDesign@yahoo.com, or visit my web site at : http://bourneelementsdesign.com/ Follow me on Pinterest : http://www.pinterest.com/paulijoyce/bourne-elements-design-my-work-and-favorite-design/
