My Old Connector Stone Settings Really Add A Professional Touch To Any Design.

And Have Had A Small Quantity Of Them Finished In Gold, Silver, & Copper. See Link At The Bottom Of This Page To See All

IDEAS WITH JEWELED CONNECTORS

!! INTERESTING FACT !! The victorians used names of
stones to spell out words or initials in jewelry. Example: Connect together turquoise (T), amethyst (A) and jet (J). To make
the initials TAJ (Tammy Agatha Jones :)) You can also use these connectors to make wonderful "MOTHERS" jewelry.

Victorian Bracelet Just 3 jeweled connectors were used to create this lovely victorian brass with vintage
swarovski crystal amethyst bracelet.

These findings were used to create the necklace
and earring set shown below. These connectors (shown above with a vintage fire opal stone), have very unique fleur de lis
prongs. These are closed back settings
with patterned/texturized backs.

You can get stunning results with just a few connectors. Earrings are so easy to make!
Just attach an earwire and dangle a bead at the bottom. Bracelets are made in a snap by just connecting them together with
a jumpring and adding a clasp :))
You can use these in very simple or very ornate work. These are beautiful with
victorian style work but can also lend themselves to just about all styles of work from art deco to contemporary.
I acquired several different styles of these lovely old brass connectors and have about 10 or 12 different stones
in gemstone colors that fit these settings. I have had some of them custom finished in antiqued copper, antiqued silver, sterling silver and antiqued gold. As you may have noticed, some of them are for flatback
stones (cabochons and cameos) and some are for faceted stones. I have these available at my shop with or without stones included.

Add chain to create dramatic collar necklaces Matching earrings are made in a snap! Just attach an earwire
and a dangle at the bottom. 
This pronged, open
back style has hand soldered bezels and will fit faceted or flatback stones or cameos measuring 10X8mm oval. I also have a fabulous assortment of old swarovski crystal
and czech glass stones that fit these lovely old settings.

Tip: I glued the filigree onto the leaf to create
a loop at the top of the leaf. After the glue as dry, I just attached the jeweled connector to the top loop in the
filigree with a large jumpring which also created the bail.

Just 3 connectors were used to create this unique dragonfly
and pink tourmaline with mother of pearl necklace and earring set.
