Welcome to my ramblings & beautiful jewelry. My Etsy store is a place to shop for vintage, nostalgic button bracelets, repurposed vintage jewelry, and found objects; bits of abandoned history brought back into everyday life, along with contemporary styles using gemstones, sterling & goldfill. I love asymmetrical and one-of-a-kind pieces, which have such character!

I Wanna Botswanna Necklace!!!
Thursday, February 18, 2010
Hello fans,
I'm happy to announce the opening of the Eugene Saturday Market on April 3rd. Ok, so it's over a month away, but it seems like just around the corner to me! We've been doing a lot to get ready, by focusing on getting Esther Lee Jewelry out there using the social media networks like Facebook, Twitter and my blog. It's amazing how many people you can reach now with these popular sites, and for free! Of course it does take a lot of time, but doing a little each day is my goal for now.
Also, I'm working on making a banner for my booth and matching business cards with my new logo! I can't wait to come out with presence this year! And, lots of new jewelry, of course! We will have a free necklace giveaway each Saturday, by drawing one lucky customer's name at the end of the day. Also, we're continuing our Food Fight Initiative, in which you get 1$ off your order for each can of food you bring in for Food For Lane County. No limit; what a deal! You get a great discount on unique jewelry and help those in need. Please tell all your friends, relatives and co-workers; let's make this a great donation to a worthy cause!
Hope to see you soon!
Here are some pics of an awesome guitar knuckle ring I made for my son James' 18th birthday. I am so happy with it! After forming it, I dipped it in liver of sulfur to oxidize it, then spent hours polishing it off. See the progression in the pics below:
He loved it! Needless to say, he's an awesome musician-he rocks the guitar! Love you, James!!!

Exchangeables!!!
These cute Exchangeables have done well at the Saturday Market, so I thought I would add them to my store. It's a great way to customize your look by getting just the stones you want. I made my mom one with all five of us kids' birth stones an she loved it!!! They slide off and on, over the clasp. Start with this 16" or 18" sterling chain, and add your favorite charms. Wear a different one each day or combine them all for a funky fresh look. Have fun with these! Also available are paired earrings to match, with round, square or spiral hoops to slide them on. To purchase, go to: www.EstherLeeJewelry.com

Hello everyone. Today I made an Animoto video (above) that was so easy and free! All you do is upload pics or video and choose a song (either upload one or browse their extensive audio site) and that's it! They put it together in about three minutes and you can share it on any number of social sites like Blogger! Yea :) It was a lot of fun. Mine was only 30 seconds, which is the free one, but you can pay for a longer one with more features if you wish. I uploaded mine to Twitter, Facebook and my bog so far. Have fun!
