A few months ago, while browsing etsy, I discovered this amazing little shop that sells hand-molded fantasy jewelry. The shop is called Marty Magic- and the creator, Marty, truly makes some wonderful and unique pieces. I instantly fell in love with her shop because I am always on the hunt for fantasy jewelry and it is very difficult to find. She creates all types of pieces at a wide range of price points; from affordable ear cuffs to one-of-a-kind pieces that contain rare and beautiful opals. Her pieces are not only beautiful, but also very well-made; they are cast from solid bronze, solid sterling silver and also solid 18k gold!
The first piece that I purchased was this Bat Ear Cuff and I could hardly believe how adorable it was once I put it on. I absolutely LOVE bats and I just got so excited to have this new little friend who will cling onto me at all times. I even named her… haha, Lucinda. The detail on this piece is absolutely astounding, every time I look at it, it makes me smile.
A few weeks went by and I got an email from Marty asking me if I’d be interested in featuring some of her pieces on my blog. I was so pleasantly surprised that she contacted me and instantly agreed to share my love for her creations. The first piece that I chose was the French Twist Ear Cuff {see top photo}. This cuff looks like it belongs in a fairy world! I love how it travels all the way down the ear. It fits very securely and stays in place all day.
The next piece I chose was the Arabesque Bajoran Ear Cuff, which is just breathtakingly beautiful on. It seriously looks like it was stolen from The Lord of the Rings movie wardrobe! This cuff, unlike the previous one, is an actual earring that connects to the upper part of your ear. This piece is solid sterling silver and very detailed; the woven design on the cuff is so lovely.
The last piece I picked is by far the most interesting and unique. It’s the Fairy Snail Rider Ring. How cool is this?!? From the second I saw it, I knew I had to have it. No photo could do it justice, it is SO amazing. When I look down at it, I am instantly taken to a fantasy world where snails are the means of transportation… and fairies decorate their shells to show their different personalities and cover their heads in embellished chains of jewels and flowers. Haha… oh how wonderful such a place would be!
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing these pieces as much I enjoy wearing them! They mean so much to me and I figured you guys may love them too! In addition to how wonderful they look, one of the major reasons I adore them is because of the person behind it all. Marty is such an inspiration. She has been making jewelry for 33 years and it is so clear to me that this is her true calling and passion; nothing gives me greater pleasure than to support someone who has followed and is currently achieving their dream. I can only hope to be like her one day :)
