SilverCrow Exclusive

Mirage Cross Necklace

More Milagros & Religious Jewelry

More Necklaces & Pendants

 

Like life itself, Mirage Beads are always changing and mysterious.

This wonderful Mirage Cross Necklace comes alive with sensuous color as you wear it. Inspired by the mood jewelry of the 1960s and 1970s, this mesmerizing cross pendant is made of beads that change color with minute variations in temperature. You'll be amazed by the quality of the substantial silver-accented beads.

This stunning cross pendant features mirage beads forming a cross with the help of a silvery base. It arrives on a 36-inch nickel-plated ball chain necklace that can easily be adjusted for length with a snip of the scissors between two of the beads. Of course, you might add your own chain or a silken ribbon for a different effect.

The mirage beads are indicators of your moods. And of course, with the length, your many moods will make this necklace uniquely yours every time you wear it.

The color-changing thermo-sensitive liquid crystal beads are the main focus. The mirage or mood beads are made of nickel-free white-plated brass. Long chain crystals in the colored section of the beads refract light in uniquely at different temperatures - creating a different necklace each time you change environment or mood! The beads can range in color from:

Black (Stressed) to
Brown or Gray (Afraid) to
Yellow (Nervous) to
Green (Unsure) to
Turquoise (Normal, if that exists) to
Dark Blue (Relaxed) to
Indigo (Calm) to
Purple (Cool) to
Orange (Lovable) to
Light Green (Romantic) to
Teal (Passionate) to
Deep Blue (Very Happy) to
any other color beyond and between.

You'll even find that each bead may display several moods at once.

Although the cross is moisture resistant, please avoid prolonged content with water.

Art Postcard - Maus Mouseholes

From artist and author Art Spiegleman, famous for his graphic novel, Maus: A Survivor's Story, we have this poignant depiction of five mouse huddled within a special hole.

Maus won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992 as it did not fit any of the classic Pulitzer classifications. The novel is based on many of his father's struggle to survive the Holocaust as a Polish Jew and further how his father's experiences, like those of so many other survivors, reverberate through families and many generations.

Not only are these beads beautiful, they have a surprising texture to them that is ever so special. You can almost feel the stripes. Hand made from glass, these vintage beads are elegantly striped in oranges, reds, yellows and in shades of black and grey and white.

Every single bead is different from the next one as you can see from those illustrated. But, they are all about the same size - 3/4 inch long by about 1/4 inch in diameter. Some of the beads are slightly wider in the middle. The stringing hole is wider than average to accommodated larger cords and chains.

For the Huichol people of Mexico, the deer is magical and represents the power of maize (corn) to sustain the body and of the peyote cactus to feed and enlighten the spirit. The special deer represent peacefulness and completeness, brining spiritual guidance and inspiration.

Each of these deer ornaments is embossed and hand-cut, then tinted by hand, so each one is slightly different than the next. The ornament measures about 3-1/4 inches wide by 3-1/4 inches high.

This interesting  tin ornament has been created by Mexican artisans in the old tradition and then hand painted or adorned. The tin is embossed and debossed for effect.

Oil Painting of Jesus on Dried Ficus Leaf

Hand painted in oil on dried skeleton leaves, these striking portraits of Jesus are quite out of the ordinary.

This style of painting is an involved process, requiring the artist to first prepare the leaf. After the leaf's regular cycle of life, turning from pinkish-red to a deep green. Once green, the leaf is soaked in water for 8 or more hours and then rinsed to remove all but the skeleton or the veins of the leaf.

Leaves are dried in sunlight, which takes several hours to days. Because of the strength of the the leaf, it makes a wonderful "canvas" for oil paintings. This art form was developed in India and continues there today (where the trees grow). Each painting takes 3 to 4 weeks to complete. The approximate size of the leaf is 4-1/2 inches wide by around 8 inches high.

Each leaf is, of course, natural and therefore everyone is completely different from the other. Each leaf features a portrait of Jesus, which may vary from Ecce Homo, to a profile, to the Sacred Heart. No two are alike, but all are stunningly created. Please let us choose one for you.

Because iron pyrite so resembles true gold, it has been known as Fool's Gold for years. It has also served as a symbol for money and good luck because of the same resemblance. It is shimmery and reflective even in its unmined state. Some believe it to help overcome fatigue.

We created these pendants right here in the SilverCrow Creations studio. As you can see from the illustration, the three pendants were all made from pyrite nuggets, but every one is completely different from the next, except for it's color and sparkling features. Each of these is created from a natural pyrite nugget and a sterling silver plated bail. The bail is simple enough for your simple chain, but it will also accommodate a velvet ribbon or leather cord easily.

The pendants range in size from 1 inch to 1-1/4 inch high (including the bail) and from about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch wide.

This vintage devotional scapular features a black and white printed image of Jesus as Ecce Homo. Ecce Homo generally refers to Jesus as he was presented to the crowds after having been scourged. Pontius Pilot presented Christ, wearing his Crown of Thorns, to the crowds and uttered:

ECCE HOMO

(Behold the Man)

Although not printed or sewn anywhere on the piece, it is believed that a scapular helps protect the soul of the wearer and it is usually accompanied by the invocation:

Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular
shall not suffer eternal fire.

The picture has been protected by glass and is then framed with brown felt and hand embroidered. The backing piece is reinforced felt that has been hand sewn. Perhaps there is a devotional inside - but we did not open the scapulars to determine this. The hanging string is just that - cotton string or cord.

The brown pieces are approximately 1 inch long by 15/16 inch wide, but vary slightly as these all hand made.

The artist named her Esmerelda. She is posing for her Hallowe'en snapshot, but we're not quite sure that this is not her everyday dress! This delightful pendant is hand made, so each is slightly different, but all are works of art! It is thinner than many of our other pendants, and we especially like it hanging longer from ball chain necklace - or even a ribbon or cord!

Hand-made by our friends in Salem, Massachusetts, we're delighted to offer you this engaging piece of jewelry.

Alexander Henry fabrics are known for their versatility and cutting edge designs. Their talented in-house artists paint each design by hand, and the company screen-prints the final product on 100% cotton. Fabric is 44 inches wide.

Of course these are a cat's prints. Of course these are a dog's prints. They can be whatever you like, but they are cute, that's for sure. A seemingly random pattern of paw prints is dabbled throughout this white-background fabric. Most are black, but, as you can see, there are small shadow sections of only grey prints.

Joan of Arc has become a symbol of women's strength and strength of faith for both men and women. Born around 1412, she did not even make her 20s, dying as a martyr to her faith on May 30, 1431.

Almost single-handedly, she turned the tide of the Hundred Years' War for the French, aiding the French Dauphin, Charles against the English. She heard the voices of the saints who have her the strength and will to fight for her beliefs. She is usually pictured with sword in hand, but in a peaceful moment, it is sheathed as she has become an inspirational finger puppet.

Saint Joan was captured in 1430 and put on trial as a witch and heretic, and then famously burned at the stake in Rouen.

For safekeeping, you can keep St. Joan on your fridge (she is also a magnet).

Stunning Lenox Snowflake Ornament Tag

The oldest and most famous maker of fine china in the United States, Lenox, Inc., has been producing superior ceramics for over 100 years! Lenox has created china for four American presidents as well as countless dignitaries worldwide. Even a desert prince who required enough tableware for a formal dinner for 1,000 came to Lenox to meet his needs! Lenox fine china and giftware are both highly collectible and is the only American china to have ever been shown at the Ceramic Museum in Sevres, France.

This lovely and delicate fine china snowflake might be used as a frame, or a tag for a gift. The insert in the middle of the snowflake reads, To & From, but you might use this as a template to cut your own center and to write a special message. Te ornament is even pretty with no message at all!

We love the ageless beauty of the snowflake and this ornament captures it perfectly. Snowflakes know no holiday or holy day - only winter!

The snowflake measures 2-3/4 inches in diameter and hands from a lovely red bow. But, you might choose to add a golden cord or traditional ornament hanger.

How lovely and unique this is to hang on a bottle of champagne as a host/ess gift!

Oh! The possibilities for these great lenses. Each box of 3 dozen lenses is from the late 1940s or early 1950s. They were made in Japan originally for use as the lenses for sunglasses. But, they are perfect for use in jewelry and assemblage.

Because they are glass, they are fragile, but they are not delicate - we've not broken any yet. The convex shape is great for covering a secret in an assemblage or collage. These are the darkest lenses we have - but, they are still transparent. After all, they are sunglass lenses.

These dark smoke lenses are 53mm at their widest and 63mm long and they arrive in their original packaging. We have not opened all of the boxes in order to preserver their vintage value, we are not sure if they are complete and unbroken. But, in the sample boxes we opened - all were present, individually wrapped and intact.

At less than 18¢ each, you'll be able to complete several projects with these great glass pieces. They also make great collectibles for anyone in the optical professions!

But, alas, in it was a different guy in each one.

Although all are similar, the señora's dress might be a different color and the Posada print in the background may differ as well as the positions, instruments, etc. Rather than return these, we thought they might be fun to add to a collection in their current states.

Each measures approximately 7-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches by 2-1/4 inches. The top and front are made of glass. On some the sides are made of glass as well. However, most have wooden sides and a wooden base and back.

All of our Day of the Dead figures and diorama boxes are made by traditional artisans and are hand sculpted and painted by traditional Mexican artisans. Each diorama is a bit different (and colors may vary) as they are all handmade!

These wonderful tin candle holders are just like the ones made so long ago. We are lucky enough to be able to import them from Germany, where they are made by the same companies that made them so long ago. Each candle holder has an outside diameter for about 2 inches and easily hold the 7/8-inch diameter candles that are included in the set. To use the holders with smaller candles, simply squeeze the outer holder prongs slightly. For wider candles, spread the prongs slightly.

As shown in the picture, each candle holder has a nail at the bottom, so that you can just press it easily in to Styrofoam (like the ball we used for illustration), straw or even live wreaths. We love these because you can rearrange them as you please - use a traditional wreath, or even a straight log to display them!

In the United States, advent wreaths traditionally use 3 purple and 1 pink candle. However, we've chosen to include the old-time red candles that were originally used. Of course, you can replace these with your own candles, if you wish.

Each set is wrapped in festive net for presentation and includes 4 holders and 4 red candles (measuring 7/8 inch in diameter by 3-1/4 inch tall).

We are showing 2 sets for illustration only. Styrofoam ball not included.

This vintage devotional scapular features a black and white printed image of Saint Benedict. Born to the Roman nobility, Saint Benedict studied in Rome but was dismayed because his fellow students lacked discipline. He fled to the mountains and became a hermit for 3 years, living in a cave and being fed by a raven. His sincere virtue were an example to many and he founded a monastery at Monte Cassino. The strict discipline of the Benedictine rule became both popular and dreaded. His motto, quite simply was:

Pray and Work.

Saint Benedict is the patron saint of students, farmers and farm workers, civil engineers, monks, spelunkers and cavers. He is also the patron against witchcraft, poison, kidney disease and temptations.

Although not printed or sewn anywhere on the piece, it is believed that a scapular helps protect the soul of the wearer and it is usually accompanied by the invocation:

Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular
shall not suffer eternal fire.

The picture has been protected by glass and is then framed with brown felt and hand embroidered. The backing piece is reinforced felt that has been hand sewn. Perhaps there is a devotional inside - but we did not open the scapulars to determine this. The hanging string is just that - cotton string or cord.

The brown pieces are approximately 1 inch long by 15/16 inch wide, but vary slightly as these all hand made.

Claude Monet's The Poppy Field, an oil on canvas, was painted in a field near Argenteuil, France in 1873. The original measures 19-5/8 by 25-5/8 inches and is shown today in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

So evident in this painting as well as in all his others, Monet's passion for colors, both in nuance and in broad accentuation, defines his special Impressionistic style. In the foreground amongst the dabs of red poppies strewn across the field, Monet sketches in the figures of Camille and Jean (his wife and son) with simple strokes of violet, black, and white that hint at their. Their figures appear again at the top of the hills in the distance, more a suggestion of color than an accurate record of their appearance.

Service stripes are also known as hash marks or bars in the US military. They are presented to enlisted service members to denote length of service. Each of these bars (or stripes) were used to commemorate 6 months of overseas service during World War II.

These authentic gold  stripes are unused and backed with buckram, commonly used to stabilize the felt cloth for embroidery. The felted material is what appears to us to be an army green/brown over-dyed wool.

We were fortunate to obtain a length of them, so we will cut them to order. All stripes you order will be in one piece as pictured in the illustration.

Five stripes are illustrated above, denoting 2-1/2 years of overseas duty. These were awarded in recognition of time served, regardless of the type of service. A soldier need not have served in actual combat to receive stripes.

What a fun plastic necklace. It measures about 2 inches in diameter and hangs on a novelty-style cord. Hailing from the 1970s or 1980s, these appear to be unlicensed carnival prizes. But we think they are way fun for today!

This sweet white is just what you need for a ghost costume, a health-care professional (aka, nurse or doctor) and even perhaps a Greek goddess.

This nicely laminated hot pad is so sweet and a lovely gift for a tea lover. It is the perfect size for a teapot!

It resists hot and cold temperatures. It's easy to clean - just use a damp cloth, but please don't immerse in water. The durable, cork-like backing says flexible. But, what we love most of all is the die-cut image of the sweet little angel surrounded by an oval frame of rosebuds and ribbons, based on a century-old image. The hot pad measures 6-1/2 by 7 inches.

I Love You - I Love You Not Frame

How fun is this!? This two-sided magnetic acrylic frame lets you show your love how you feel - or don't! One side represents love and the other represents love you not.

We had two ideas for this - either put a great looking picture of your beloved on the love side and a not-so-great one on the love you not side. Or, put your new love on the love side and your past love (or loves) on the love you not side.

The frame itself measures 3-1/2 by 3-5/32 inches and is about 5/16 inch thick. We're not usually fans of acrylic frames, but this one is really special and very well made. And, besides, it's lots of fun!

We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.

These letterpress notes are printed by hand on antique letterpresses. The illustrations are engraved into magnesium plates. The cards are placed by hand into the press where the images are transferred by relief method, creating an impression you can see and feel. And, just in case we could not identify this fellow, the image is labeled:

BE MINE

The card measures 3-1/2 by 5 inches and is accompanied by a matching tan envelope.

Nothing says Summer in the United States, like a backyard barbeque - even when there's no backyard. This photograph by William Eggleston tells a city story like no other. Shot sometime around 1972, the vivid message is still right on target.

This makes a great invitation to a barbeque, or indeed, a thank you for one you might have enjoyed.

Susan Mrosek is the super artist of these absolutely terrific cards! There are so many occasions that might require this card:

Pete's third eye was distinguished,
as it oddly grew inward.
And oh how he treasured this insight - in particular,
the vivid fruit pole extending from one ear to the other.
It Promised Pete a colorful mood, regardless of genuine availability.

The wonderful print of the watercolor painting illustrates this so very expressively on the notecard, which of course is accompanied by an envelope.

Straw Satin Rayon Raffia in Pale Sky Blue

Although this is not the natural raffia made of straw, it is mad of rayon - so it is not synthetic at all! Because rayon is manufactured from cellulose fiber, it is truly one of the most renewable products around. The naturally occurring polymers in the plant cellulose make it not a synthetic, but it is not actually natural either as it must be manufactured to be used.

We think this an important, point, but, as philosophers, we agree that it could be argued that even natural wool yarn must be manufactured (spun) before it is used.

Now that all argument is aside, we must say that we love this stuff. It is great for wrapping presents. It adds a touch of elegance when used a s a bow on an organza bag. And we love it for making Ojos de Dios (God's Eye) ornaments.

You can use it as is (about 1/8 inch wide) or spread the width (to 7/8 inch). Either way, the lovely sky blue color will accent many projects nicely.
