Suegray Jewelry Impressed by history... hand cast wax seal jewelry from my personal collection of unique antique wax

I love seaglass… the colors, textures, shapes, and the mystery and cannot remember a time when I didn’t collect it! Raised on the east coast, I have been fortunate to have access to the seashore and appreciate all of the treasures it has to offer. In 1991, after some formal fine metals training and informal trial and error, I began fashioning sea glass into jewelry. Using traditional hand tools, I

wrap each unaltered and authentic piece of sea glass in sterling silver wire creating jewelry that is unique in its shape, size, and color. The jewelry on this website is not shown actual size and is not always proportional in size with other items on the same page. Also, since seaglass is not manufactured, shapes and shades may vary from the jewelry shown. If you’d like something longer or shorter, please contact me with the finished length you’d prefer and I will try to accommodate you. Perhaps you collect seaglass and would like me to create jewelry with your pieces. Look through the styles that I offer, choose your sea glass with similar shapes and sizes, and specify which style you would like and send me the seaglass you wish me to use with 1 or 2 extra pieces. I don’t charge “custom prices”, just my regular price for that item.

a rainy Sunday so no outdoor activities on this long holiday weekend but at least the flowers, trees and grass get to enjoy the weather …

there’s another ghost in the house …

everywhere I look there’s a ghost and most recently I spied a cat ghost.
I’ve named her Clara the cat ghost because she is wildly clairvoyant.
she may seem a wee bit aloof but really it’s because she sees and knows things that most people can’t and don’t … her psychic gift. she’s spirited and curious as she purrs comfortably in the mist of independence. ... boomeow

I’ve seen her settling on top of a variety of magnetic friendly metal … door hinges, my little cauldron, metal picture frames, cow bells, little stork scissors, on top of metal kitchen appliances and I even saw her keeping a plant company as she sat atop a steel nail that was pushed into the soil but I’m not sure if that nail could become harmful to the plants soil … I must look that one up

Clara the cat ghost does get around and so do her ghostly pals … boo!

I think my house is haunted …

everywhere I look I see ghosts. and she looks just like Tallulah, known for being carefree, uninhibited, highly spirited, outspoken and frightfully scandalous, perfectly comfortable in her own mist.
she spends lots of time sitting on the door hinge but she can actually haunt throughout the house, settling on top of any magnetic friendly metal … my little cauldron, my antique sealing wax melter, metal picture frames, metal fireplace inserts, tops of metal kitchen appliances, tops of metal furniture … she gets around and so do her ghostly pals … boo!

something new this way haunts ... it’s tall Tallulah and she’s a ghost with a different purpose

the sweet frog prince wax seal pendant … do you remember The Frog Prince (Iron Heinrich or Iron Henry) fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm? originally written in 1812, it’s a tale about a princess who reluctantly befriends a frog and when she kisses him he’s transformed into a handsome prince, breaking the spell.

I’ve hand crafted the pendant by impressing a little bloodstone intaglio signet ring into sterling silver. I love the signet ring, too, and it was sold to me as an unusual antique bloodstone and gold signet ring that hails back to 1880.

I love sharing the provenance of the antique wax seals in my collection, and much of it’s about research, but in this case my research might take a bit of a darker turn down the rabbit hole … not meant to bash anyone but more like sharing a cautionary tale.

coming from the UK I was surprised that the antique 18k gold signet had no hallmarks but the reputable seller described it as an antique ring c. 1880 so I truly hope that’s true.
however, it’s possible that it began as an antique blank bloodstone signet ring and the seller had an engraver carve the lovely intaglio.
I believe I found the engraver, he actually carved another frog prince signet for someone else but he is not 146 years old as the c.1880 description implies … maybe perhaps he was just replicating my ring.

I really hope I’m wrong here but it’s possible my ring listing was misrepresented, perhaps fraudulent, though chances are I still would have purchased it (probably for much less) had the seller been honest about its provenance … either way, the ring is very unique and I love it.

a new ghost is floating in through the mist …

her name is Winifred, a peaceful friendly ghost, and her Welsh name actually means blessed peacemaking.
she loves spreading peace and joy to all around her by sharing her little secret … a peace sign wax seal on her base to seal your peaceful correspondence … wonderful ghost jewelry that also serves as a sweet wax seal to make your peaceful impressions.

I was just having some Friday fun when ...

I discovered it’s only Thursday. 🫤 whatever, still fun, different day.

I was rolling around my little bronze DO YOU KNOW (non)crystal ball … a Czechoslovakian (non)crystal fortune telling ball.
The original crystal divination ball dates back to 1920 - 1930 and it’s about 1 inch around with 32 sides with the numbers 1 - 30 plus a 0 and 00 at opposite ends.
Mine didn’t arrive with its paper fortune booklet that promised to answer pressing questions but I was able to re-create one ... there are 30 answers each about Love, Marriage, Luck, Surprise, Finance and The Home as well as a few other ways to foretell answers to your questions and wishes.

I didn’t roll a number from 1 - 30 ... I rolled the 0 so here’s my fortune ...

If “O” turns up the person rolling the CRYSTAL BALL will be successful in all he undertakes, have health, wealth and happiness.

sweet!

Anyway, I have a few more fortune telling dice if you’re ready to give it a roll and play along.

she’s been cloned …

our dear Fiammetta can’t seem to decide what she really wants to look like so she’s trying on a few different looks … shiny bronze, matte bronze or matte white bronze … what’s your favorite shade of Fiammetta?

Fiammetta still takes her job as a candle snuffer very seriously as she safely extinguishes the flame of a burning candle without wax spatter by silently hovering over the flame and cutting off its oxygen supply, but really, she’s so much more than that. she’s happy to sit at your table or on a shelf or at your desk … keeping you company.

🖤 and those chains? don’t worry, while typically a ghost in chains represents unfinished business, regret or guilt that traps them to the mortal world this is not the case with Fiammetta ... her chain is symbolic of love, commitment, and eternal bonds. 🖤

did I mention that this little magical star wand pendant can also be used as a little bubble wand … spreading beautiful magical bubbles into the wind, sparking joy wherever they fly.

beautiful bubbles often represent the fragility of life, the release of spirit and the need for joy in life … the represent the transient, temporary nature of our earthly existence.

go out and blow some bubbles … take some time to celebrate your inner whimsy! !

I’ve finished up a few little magical star wand pendants … salagadoola menchicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

I know, it’s a whimsical trinket that no one actually needs … but maybe you do?

I’ve suspended my little magic star wand pendant from a chain to wear as a necklace but I can also tuck it into my pocket and wave my magic wand any time I please.

it might look like sterling silver but it’s not … the wishing wand has been cast in white bronze this round. with the high cost of sterling silver these days and its size I thought that might be best for now.
