Etsy Bling...

...from the jewelers of Etsy. Well, not from ALL the jewelers and jewelry makers of Etsy—that would just be an extreeeeemely long post. But here are the works of five:

LLing2303
Tetty likes making jewelry using glass beads, sterling silver, pearls, gemstones, and polymer clay. The pendant shown here is made from black and blended green and yellow polymer clays.

AnnaAhrensNZ
Anna, is a "Kiwi chickie" (her words) now living in southern California who likes to work with a variety of materials, including glass, crystal, natural gemstones and shells. She loves to incorporate a little piece of home into her jewelry by often using Paua, a species of abalone (Haliotis Iris) found only in the chilly waters surrounding New Zealand.

letitiah
Letitiah describes herself as a "procrastinatory grad student" creating jewelry in Toronto, Canada. Her pieces are almost always drenched with a brilliant splash of color, as shown here in tangerine.

CavanaghCraft
Natalie Klein Cavanagh decided to turn her love of jewelry-making into an official business, and founded Cavanagh Craft in 2005. Her Zebracube collection (layered color resin beads) has been featured in the gift shop at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC.
