Stir Your Soul


Featured here is an Etsy artisan who's creative works reflect her passion for her craft.  Stunningly beautiful works of art that you can wear and some of the most beautiful pieces that I've found while browsing for new artists.

I introduce to you the wonderfully talented...

Margaret
Jewelry artist and Owner of the Etsy shop...



Handmade Classic Design Jewelry Art


"Creating beautiful jewelry stirs my soul and fills me with energy. I take great pleasure in fabricating each piece that I sell in my small and personal metal smith studio.  My goal is to send you a piece of jewelry that also stirs your soul."
                                                                                                                                  Margaret Zacny

Hand fabricated in sterling and fine silver with a rutilated quartz center stone.  The bottom stone sitting at the root chakra of the pendant is a garnet.  Accompanying the pendant is a handmade silver chain.  To learn more about this piece or any of the following pieces, just click the links provided.




In her wonderful workshop, Margaret is shown here soldering a bezel.



This one-of-a-kind .999 fine silver ring is offered in a variety of custom sizes from 4-10.  The ring shown is a size 7.5, but wears more like a 7.  This statement ring is perfect to give as a gift, for the bee lover, and a lovely little heart with the words "Be Mine" adorns the back.



Perhaps my favorite of Margaret's creations follows with this lovely

Made of Sterling Silver and set with a 1 carat lab created Garnet and flanked by 6 CZ's.  Comes in size 7 and available in her shop now.
