click on the image to go to the listing - ok sorry i took them all down again because etsy cant manage to figure out how to pay me. they keep telling me its my fault but i gave them even a god damn detailed bank statement which puts my financial privacy at their mercy and they continue to insult me so i give up and the only stuff left in my shop is stuff im ok to have to give away if someone wants it. although i realize this is stupid. i have a new shop now its nicoletirona.bigcartel.com

20 years long glue
it took about twenty years for the watch resin i used to use for cameos to flake off easily with a fingernail. thats not a lifetime!! im sad about it and hope no ones cameo has fallen out. im now looking into other two part epoxy resins or super glue. i want a permanent bond!!! not sure if i should use super glue but i see it advertised as ok for jewelry repair. i would never use the stuff. theres a two part epoxy resin that says its for jewelry but what does that mean. does that mean delicately handled items only? i want super strength. two part epoxy ... or just super glue. i dont know what to do.
another thing im looking into is finding a gold plater in town that wants to work with me and tiny pieces of jewelry without gouging me for rates. still havent found any to even agree because once they hear youre selling the stuff they either refuse or charge you up the wazoo. i find it dumb and unfair its not like the pieces to be plated are already sold. so greedy like what, no one else can make money on gold plated things apparently according to the few local gold platers ive contacted. worse yet, a jewelry store with in house repairs...... sighing. glue and paint it is.....

Plume Necklace - Feather Necklace
I love it.
Made it with lots of feather charms (two kinds) and lots of chain tassels made from ball chain and linked chain.
The metals have a slightly different tone and I've lacquered the whole piece so its finish is just wonderful.
Plume Necklace by Its Your Life $45
