Beaded jewelry necklaces appear on CNN

This morning while tuned into CNN, and like most of America, sipping coffee checking on the state of the world, I noticed Deborah Feyrick. She was reading the news, and had a striking necklace adorning her polished morning attire. Wow, I thought--these are just like Peggy's on the Magical Silver Jewelry Website. How cool is that?
I spoke with Peggy Burgess earlier in the week and she is doing shows, working Clematis in West Palm Beach and when she needs to escape from the rigors of South Florida hits the road for South Carolina! Peggy always has a story and is a joy to chat with. Her beautiful jewelry creations--all HANDMADE can be viewed at www.magicalsilverjewelry.com or scene in person every Thursday during the months of October, November and December at Clematis. Other Artists worth checking out who display on the Magical Silver Jewelry website include: Don Dietz with his world famous black Coral, Jane Levy with her green silver jewelry (reclaimed from scrap computers!), Terry and a host of others . . . all Handmade and one of a kind. So, now as I watch news anchors--and their accessories, do I Facebook them and tell them about one cool website? Time will tell . . .

Don Dietz Creating Custom Black Coral Jewelry

Don Dietz is well known and respected in the lapidary circles. And, he continues to impart his knowledge and his skill at the Boca Raton Museum of Art-- Art School teaching several jewelry classes. Besides his expertise in the natural gemstone jewelry fabrication, he is famous for his black coral jewelry, some of which can be viewed at www.magicalsilverjewelry.com Currently he has about eight projects "on the bench" with several new orders being placed for custom black coral pieces. Black coral is easily found on the beaches on Florida and with a creative eye and skillful touch become wearable works of art! As they become finished and available for viewing, perhaps I can talk him into a few photographs for everyone to see!

William Ken Hatch: the Asphalt Vagabond

William "Ken" Hatch is living the life we all dream about: foot loose and fancy free. To give you a taste of his adventures and his jewelry we pick it up in his own words:
This blog is about the travels and adventures of the Asphalt Vagabond, Me. I am working toward living the full time RV lifestyle, and I have a plan, drive north when it gets hot and drive south when it gets cold. Mostly I will tell of the adventures that I will encounter on the way, Like searching for relics in old civil war battle grounds, panning for gold in some quiet stream, hunting nuggets in Arizona, digging for gem stones or just meeting people and making friends.
I have been cutting a bunch of cabochons in preparation for the show. I hope to have at least 300 cabs for the show. Some I have already photographed and put on my web site http://www.wilstones.com/ or the pictures on http://www.Magicalsilverjewelry.com.
The weather has been nice up here. I spend my time reading, relaxing, cutting cabs, making more wire inventory and cutting grass. My aunt and her children have around 40 acres of land between them and I have been running the bush hog in the mornings and the evenings (to keep out of the heat of the day) for the past week, I still have some more to cut but I will take a break for awhile. Last week I was browsing through “Craig’s List” looking for another display tent and I found a good used one I liked in Atlanta and picked it up at a good price. I will take a photo of it when I practice setting it up and post it in the blog. We wish Ken safe travels and will check in with him periodically. Enjoy the cooler weather farther up North!

Who are the Artists involved in Magical Silver Jewelry

Simone's love developed early, growing up in the Caribbean, so closely immersed in the environment of the sea and sun has led to the impression of nature in my work. The myriad of textures found on the beach; in the rocks, shells, drift wood and sand are only a few of the natural objects that I draw my work from.

Unpolished and raw, rustic and earthy is how I envision my creations. With the world becoming more aware of being Eco-friendly and going Green there has been a trend in jewelry towards natural unpolished stones. Volcanic depths have spewed their best of geodes filled with sparkling druzies, raw emeralds and aquamarines strung like beads without the expected setting of gold. Ammonites, fossilized specimens bursting with vibrant opalescent color, and petrified wood, luminous with forms of light and dark.

You can view Simone's work at www.magicalsilverjewelry.com. Jewelry Collections displayed include her "Dreamers Driftwood" and "Urchin Peacock" necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Wonderfully unique custom and wearable and beautiful! Check her out!
