Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose...

"Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose
Will I ever see thee wed?
I shall marry thee at thy will, sire
At thy will

Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose,
Wilt thou never marry me?
Ah, marry that I will,
If thou but stay."

I remember this song from a drama class I took through the Lyceum when I was a kid.  Something about this traditional ditty stuck with me and I found myself humming the melody while I made this one-of-a-kind lariat.  Click here to purchase this piece through my etsy site.

A sterling silver rose charm, recycled red glass, red freshwater pearls, and red jade handwired with sterling silver form this simple lariat, closing in the front by feeding the rose through a sterling silver hoop.

Bacchus II Lariat

To the Greeks he was Dionysus.  To the Romans he was Bacchus.  To both cultures, he was the god of wine and intoxication. 

I created a wine-themed lariat for York School's fundraising gala on March 5th, 2011; I liked it so much I decided to make a similar piece for sale with slightly different gems and glass pieces.

This Bacchus lariat features a hefty sterling silver grape cluster on one strand and Bacchus's face on a grape leaf on the other, recycled glass in deep red and black, garnets, and hematite are handwired with sterling silver complete this one-of-a-kind piece.  Click here to purchase this piece on etsy.
