LT Creates Jewelry on Etsy
Ok, so I wanted to give a little "shout out" to LT Creates Jewelry on Etsy. Etsy.com , as you may know, is a web site where individuals sell their hand made wares (or sometimes, just craft supplies). I think it's such a fab web site, and I love looking at what people are making. However, I've only ordered anything once or twice. But there's this great vendor who makes and sells jewelry from vintage silver-plated flatware. Her work is really, really nice in my opinion. After C. got a spoon watch from LT, I was ready to go ahead an place my order. I got a spoon watch and matching spoon bracelet. You can see a pic of the watch above. The bracelet I got is identical, except that instead of the watch face, it has a turquoise bead. I love both pieces, but if I had to pick one, I'd probably say that I actually like the bracelet best. The pictures here and on Etsy really don't do the pieces justice--they are much prettier in person. You send LT your wrist measurement, and she custom sizes them. And I just love, love, love that this is vintage 1940s silverware that's been repurposed; that idea really appeals to me. I ordered online and had the pieces in hand in less than a week. And I think the prices are quite reasonable. The only drawback IMO is that they are both somewhat difficult to clasp. The clasp is large, and I'm sure that the piece is secure while one is wearing it, but it's a bit difficult to negoiate.
