SmeltyMelty is the name I've given my Aquaflame - a blowtorch, powered by hydrogen gas that she creates using blue hydrogen technology, powered by the electricity generated through our own photovoltaic cells that's we've had since 2009. I'm very proud that all my jewellery is powered in this way. See my blog about it here: https://wordpress.com/post/dawngilldesigns.wordpress.com/2539
Safety information
The sterling I use is supplied by a UK manufacturer as fully recycled with a minimum fineness of 92.5% silver; the remaining element of the alloy being copper. Copper items are 100% copper Within my making process I use food grade citric acid, vegan polishes, Liver of Sulphur, food grade Sodium Bicarbonate, Renaissance Wax finally cleaning each item with tap water and ‘Simple’ branded face soap. Each piece I make will stand up to regular wear, but, as with all jewellery, please keep it away from children, don’t eat it, remove it before washing, using chemicals, applying perfume etc. Apply body lotion and perfume a few minutes before putting on your jewellery to help slow down tarnish. The gemstones I use have been sold to me by reputable UK dealers as untreated (unless stated specifically in the listing). They are a natural, organic creation from the earth and each one will be slightly different. It's law in the UK, that precious metals for sale, heavier than 7.78grams (silver) / 1gram (gold) must be formally assayed (ie tested, verified & hallmarked)
You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.
Unless faulty, the following types of items are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements; items which deteriorate quickly (e.g. food), personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken; digital items.
Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Full description
This listing is for an individually, handcrafted, solid copper, or sterling silver coiled stitch keeper / cable stitch needle assist / shawl pin.
I've used 2mm round, pure copper wire, or 2mm round sterling silver wire. The colours are created by playing SmeltyMelty's flame over the finished and polished pieces, then I hammer them again to complete the firming up. The coil measures approximately 2.5-3cm in diameter, but each will be unique, as you can see from the pile I've got in my hand here.
Shown with the Soffritto scarf (pattern available as a digital download on my website, or as part of a kit from www.KosyKitchenFibres.com which will also include one of these keepers)
Please note that each will be slightly different, as I make them individually.
Sterling silver and gemmy ones in my other listings (and on my website!)
Final photos shown with a UK penny, USA dime and 2 euro to help visualise the size of them
As with all my jewellery the Sterling Silver is certified recycled
