Today, tomorrow and Saturday

3 days of fun at Chimera Design starts today. We are doing a fundraiser for the Lowell YMCA Strong Kids program. They win by getting 10% of our gross sales over the next three days - you win by saving some big money on our jewlery. We have some sterling silver and gold jewelry at 50% off - we have Australian Black Opal jewelry in our silent auction - along with diamond rings - and some unique jewelry by Carla - did I mention the Bel-Air watches?
We have never done this before - we hope we get a good response and that we can raise some money for kids who want to participate in the YMCA programs, but don't have the money.
10-7 today and Friday. 10-4 on Saturday.

Julie is making Mokume Gane rings, earrings, and pendants.

The Japanese invented this layering process of metals centuries ago. Mokume Gane (mock-ooo-may gahn-nay) literally means "Tree Eye Metal" because they duplicated the beauty of wood grains using metal.

This pendant is set in Argentium silver and accented with a white sapphire. It can go home with you for $180.00.

The mokume Julie used in these pieces is made of Argentium silver and copper.

These earrings are $115.00




Lucky me - I know the boss. She made the ring pictured at the top FOR ME! Here is what it looks like on my finger. The rings will be $180 to $280 each depending on the finger size and the width of the ring.
