All you need is a chain or ribbon to change this wonderful component into a necklace. Our Flying Skeleton Key measures 2-5/16 inches high by 2-3/4 inches from wingtip to wingtip.

The trompe-d'oeuil photograph makes this component absolutely amazing. And the laser cutting is so precise that the antennae appear to be real!

We have no idea where we got these. We were going to make something from them (we can't remember what), so we thought maybe you could find something interesting to do with them!

These are very fine hoops (the metal is 1mm at most!) They measure 1-1/2 inch when you include the lip at the top and they are 1-1/4 inch in diameter. At regular intervals, there are indentations, so you might easily make a miniature dream catcher from one of them as the string or wire would hold nicely as you weave your web for dreams.

These are new motifs made in the fashion of vintage tin toys. They are painted on both sides, but only one side shows the detail. As you can see from the photograph, the pig and rider may be facing either way.

The motif measures about 2-1/4 inches wide by 2 inches high.

These hand made glass eyes were made for plush animals and dolls as well as for taxidermy projects. They are vintage - we approximate their origins to be the 1920s or 1930s.

There are slight differences from eye to eye - in size, color and even slightly in shape, making them much more alluring for use in collage, assemblage and artwork than in traditional doll-making or taxidermy.

The back of the eye is similar to a cowrie shell, with the glass folding back upon itself. Each is a approximately 9/16 inch from side to side, 5/16 inch from top to bottom and has a 3/16 inch profile.

The component as pictured measures 3/4 inch high by 3/4 inch wide (at the bottom). The aged brass color is not too aged and not to brassy.

Rubber Stamp with the Same Sentiment in English

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) in 1943. It is beloved even more today than when it was written. Ostensibly a children's book, there are so many instances in the writings that might be meant for adults to learn - perhaps to be young again.

This sweet little charm features the fox, who rightly explains an essential part of life to the Little Prince. The charm reads:

Adieu, dit le renard…
Voici mon secret
Il est trčs simple
on ne voit bien
qu’avec le coeur
L’essentiel est invisible
pour les yeux.

*
Le Petit Prince

In English:

Goodbye, said the fox
And now here is my secret
a very simple secret
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly
what is essential
is invisible to the eye.

*
The Little Prince

We love the offset nature of the quote and the fact that the charm features holes at the top and the bottom - so, it might act as a connector for an additional charm or bead at the bottom. On the back, the charm reads (beneath a simple star), Little Prince.

We're showing two charms to illustrate the front and back.

The charm is finished in an antiqued gold or bronze and measures 1-7/8 inch high - including the loop and 13/16 inch wide.

We were lucky to find a lot of these cabochon pins as new old stock - never used - in a Brooklyn, New York warehouse. They are cleverly made and most are in fine shape. There is some wear from handling on some of the cabochons.

It appears that the cabs are made of metal and that the image has been transferred onto the cabochon either by printing or some other method.

Each of the pins are the same. A poor little sick girl on a pink background.

If you care to do so, you might re-work these into assemblage pieces by removing the cabochon and applying a new image, or, indeed by replacing it with something else. Please be careful if you choose to remove the cabochon - especially if you are bending the prongs.

These were made by a novelty company - not a jewelry company - so please be careful when working with them.

Each measures 1-3/4 inch high by 1-1/4 inch wide has a self-pin on back that has been attached mechanically rather than by adhesive. So, for novelties, these are well made.

The millefiori technique was originally based on the French background coverage of thousands of tiny flowers called mille fleur. Mostly associated with Venetian glass making, this style of glassmaking involves layers of glass made into a cane and then sliced into individual pieces. The pieces would all be very similar as each piece The usual outcome is a lovely many-petaled flower. Then, these little slices are place in masse to decorate a larger piece, such as a vase, or an angel or a candlestick.

But, these little guys surely caught our eye. We're not sure where they were produced - or even when! But we are sure that they are funny and sweet. As you can see from the illustrated sample, they vary in size - from 3/16  to 3/8 inch in diameter. Very few are the same.

They all appear to be bronze and feature a nicely aged patina and a large center hole. The hole is really part of the coin and not drilled afterwards as with some coins used for jewelry.

This lovely transparent aquamarine glass intaglio cabochon features an image of the Taj Mahal that has then been highlighted with a silver foil application. The piece measures 11/16 inches on all sides and features faceted rounded corners. The depth of the piece is just a smidgen over 1/4 inch. The image is lovely on either side, but glorious on the aqua side, which would normally be considered the top, which is smooth. The underside has been cut to create the intaglio and then foiled with silver for the reflective effect.

The Taj Mahal is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world by all cultures. Built as a memorial and mausoleum for the third (and favorite) wife of Shah Jahan in Agra, India, the building took over 16 years to complete. Mumtaz died during the birth of their 14th child, Gauhara Begam. The grounds and out buildings took another 5 years to complete.

Built in 1632 by Shah Jahan in Agra, India, it is a memorial and the mausoleum for his third (and favorite) wife, Mumtaz. She died during the birth of their 14th child, Gauhara Begam.

Long associated with deep and everlasting love, the Taj Mahal has become endeared to many around the world.

Intaglios are engraved, pressed or incised into gemstones or glass. The design is carved or pressed into the surface, and sinks below the surface. It is the opposite of a cameo - where the background is carved away, leaving the design as a relief on top. Intaglios have been made since Babylonian times and were used in printmaking as well as in jewelry.

Two intaglios are shown to illustrate front and back.

My favorite Easter coat was blue, cream and pale yellow plaid. I remember feeling so pretty in it - I wish I had one just like it today so very many years later.

Inside that coat was a chain just like this. The flat round loops were sewn by hand into the back of the coat on (or near the label) so that I could hang the coat on the chain when an appropriate coat hanger was not available. Fur coats were often fitted with these as well.

We were really excited to find that these are still made - and in the USA, no less!

Each chain measures 4 inches (including the flat loops) long. The chain itself is 1/4 inch wide. It is quite sturdy, of course, so that can hold a coat nicely.

Of course, you might imagine all kinds of other uses for this nifty little chain. That's why they come in packages of five.

Made of silvery modern (safe) pewter, this fun component measures 1 inch by 5/8 inch (the diameter of the circle). It's not really a charm, but could be added to a charm bracelet or necklace easily. It's not really a pendant, but it would be lovely on a simple chain or ribbon. We also think it makes a wonderful halo or flower hairpiece for a miniature doll or angel.

Silvery Titanium Mesh Tubing

This really cool component appears to be a ribbon of metal mesh at first glimpse. The fun arrives after you start playing with it. It is really a metal wire-knit tube. Be careful, because it is fragile, but it will hold up well overtime as long as you handle with care.

You can create a necklace by adding crimps on the ends or choker clamps, or use your imagination for finishing.

You can pull and shape this mesh endlessly. It begins with a 6mm flattened diameter. You can open it up and put beads inside and it will stretch as any knit tube would. Of course, as you stretch it wider, the length becomes shorter. You can knot it between beads or even put some of the beads on the outside. What fun you'll have!

If you change your mind, it is easily reshaped by flattening it out again and pulling on either end.

Mesh can be pulled and shaped into interesting forms. Reshaping is accomplished by rolling and pulling the entire strand tight, however, you may affect the overall length of your mesh by pulling on it.

Mesh arrives pre-cut to a 30+ inch length.

My favorite Easter coat was blue, cream and pale yellow plaid. I remember feeling so pretty in it - I wish I had one just like it today so very many years later.

Inside that coat was a chain just like this. The flat round loops were sewn by hand into the back of the coat on (or near the label) so that I could hang the coat on the chain when an appropriate coat hanger was not available. Fur coats were often fitted with these as well.

We were really excited to find that these are still made - and in the USA, no less!

Each chain measures 4 inches (including the flat loops) long. The chain itself is 1/4 inch wide. It is quite sturdy, of course, so that can hold a coat nicely.

Of course, you might imagine all kinds of other uses for this nifty little chain. That's why they come in packages of five.

There are some who believe that there were such coins produced earlier, but the experts have singled this celebration as the beginning.

A smashed penny is is made by forcing a penny (or other coin) through two steel rollers. There is an engraving on one of the rollers (sometimes both sides). A crank (mechanical or electronic) forces the coin through the rollers and squeezes it with extreme pressure. This smashes the coin from round to ...you guessed it...elongated. The pressure pushes the engraving into the penny at the same time it is smashing it.

We've been collecting these since we were children, and now our grandchildren collect them, too. Made from shiny pre-1983 pennies, there is a higher copper content than if created with today's pennies.

We have a whole burlap bag full of these. They are from all over the world, but, most are from the USA. Some have thoughts and words, others are souvenirs from amusement parks long gone. Still others are from special events. Many of these are vintage and are no longer available.

Because they are smashed in the process of impressing the message, these souvenir pennies are super thin, yet sturdy. The new oval shape measures about 1-5/16 long and about 13/16 wide. This makes a wonderful keepsake for your wallet or pocket.

Please let us choose one for you!

Created using a ticket from the Belmont racetrack in New York, this cool little cabochon measures 1-1/8 inch by 7/8 inch and it's about 1/8 thick. Each preserves an image of a ticket for the 7th race for the strangely named horse, ZzCUM. These are old stock intaglio cabochons that have never been used. The one in the illustration is in perfect condition. However, many of these show some wear. You might want to reinforce the back (bottom) of the stone before you use it in your artwork. We like the shabby chic look of the missing pieces of the ticket. Each one reads:

BELMONT

Around the edges, it reads WIN WIN WIN on either side.

How much fun are these!? We've tried to learn to roll Fimo & other polymer clay into sticks or rolls and we always end up with marbleized clay - a fancy way to say we couldn't come up with a picture. With these, we don't have to worry. The picture has already been rolled into the sticks. So, all you do slice and bake. Don't worry, the instructions are included.

This amazingly detailed roll of polymer clay features the American flag. We've not really counted all the stars, but it looks close enough for a charm or bead!

You can slice them to any depth - and can even make the diameter smaller or larger (instructions for this technique included, too). To make a bead or charm, just make a hole before you bake.

Rolls measure 50mm long by 15mm in diameter (about 5/8 inch). So you can make a bunch of beads, components or charms from just one roll!

Instructions are included.

More Collage & Assemblage Items

The favorite of collage, assemblage and jewelry artists for some time, optical lenses (originally from an optometrist’s trial lens sets) are great to add focus to any project. Ours are in excellent condition with few (if any) nicks. The rims may be silvery or golden - and many boast a rich patina or aging, adding to their charm and value. Lenses also differ in thickness and may have some frosting and even a number or symbol on the metal or on the lens itself.

Most hail from the early to mid 1900s; some from a bit later. Some of the lenses have small holes in the handle that make them perfect for your jewelry project - add a jump ring or split ring easily.

We know these would be great as an embellishment or gift tag on a special package for an optician, ophthalmologist, optometrist - or anyone working with eyes - and for collectors of vintage optical instruments and implements.

These are vintage items and no two are alike. So, yours will vary from the pictured lenses (Two lenses shown for illustration only).

What a find! This little plastic cabochon (12mm in diameter) features golden orange lettering and captures a stylized image of the 700-fott high Trylon, the Perisphere (180 feet in diameter) and the Helicline (950 foot ramp).

The theme of the fair was The World of Tomorrow. Right outside this interesting building was the fair's main attraction - Democracity, a utopian city of the future. Fairgoers viewed Democracity from above on a moving sidewalk, under movies displayed on the sides of the sphere. This was all so very modern at the time. And, we guess that we're living in that world today.

The domed cabochon appears almost like a glass paperweight as the image appears to be projected from the bottom with a clear domed top.

Single Blackbird Cabochon

Our lovely blackbirds are made of celluloid (aka cellulose) and feature a flat back for gluing onto your projects. Add a jump ring between their beaks and add a chain. They are a wonderful jet black opaque and are nicely detailed to accentuate their wings, tail feathers and faces. Because they are made of plastic, you can easily drill through them to attach other adornments.

These crows or ravens measure about 3 inches by 1-1/2 inch, so they'll make a substantial statement! They hail from the mid-20th century (around the 1950s or 1960s).

Plastic and composition pieces were major components in jewelry in the mid-20th century. Probably beginning around the 1930s and 1940s. They were popularized by Hollywood heroines and continue to be popular for their stylized design and kitschy colors.

This sweet plastic (or celluloid) lacy heart pendant is exceptionally beautiful in its ivory color. Across the middle, in script, is written,

Sweetheart

This is probably from the late 1950s or early 1960s. There is a top hole if you care to attach a jump ring for hanging, or just use the opening in the heart itself. The front of the cabochon is loaded with detail - it almost looks like real lace! The heart measures approximately 1-3/4 by 1-13/16 inch.
