What are you offering for Valentine’s Day?

I have a beautiful selection of hollow handle diffuser necklaces along with my mood necklace collection.  You may purchase them as is, or I can easily add your favorite birthstone, and, of course, Red for Valentine’s Day.  They are fashioned with a 20” glittering stainless steel chain and lobster claw clasp, but I’d be happy to make length adjustments.  20% off and Shipping is free.  Contactless pick up available.

In addition, I have a selection of beautifully carved and finished Mermaid Tails.  I use serving spoons, serving forks and sugar shells to make the pendants.  There’s much cutting and grinding involved, and of course, professional burnishing.  These pieces are my no means new, but when I’m finished with them, the result is a brilliant shine. 20% off and Shipping is free.  Contactless pick up available.

Any other new items in your Valentine selection?

My Four Directions spoon pendant features my hand etched pave’ finish, with red, yellow, green and blue crystals to represent the four directions of the compass and a white crystal in the center to represent spirit.  The stainless steel chain is 20” long with a lobster claw clasp.  Custom chain lengths available at no extra charge.

Do you have a shop?

No.  I have a basement studio full of tools and material.  I create, finish, burnish, photograph, manage my website and ship from my home.  Truly a “one woman operation”.  Shop my website at altasornamentation.com or find me on Facebook at AltasOrnamentation.  You can always email or call: altasornamentation@tcny.rr.com / 607-244-4588.
