Retro Steam Jewelry is handmade by Aliena Marie who handpicks quality supplies to derive some of the most eye-catching and interesting works of art. With earth-made stones like Amethyst, Quartz, and Jade, to name a few. Retro Steam incorporates a very wide variety of stones, both natural or polished. Some pendants, however, do not spot-light a stone or a crystal, or even a bead, but instead star a
different gem, like Vintage gears from an old watch, or a skeleton key who's lock has been long forgotten...
The quality of the jewelry doesn't stop at it's elegant stones or vintage heritage when it's all wrapped together with BeadSmith® wire. Retro Steam uses a combination of Copper and Brass, both natural and oxidized. But when it comes to Silver wire, it will always be 1/10 silver-filled, which means that the outer 10% of each item is .925 Silver mechanically bonded to a "white" brass core. The result is much thicker than silver plating and much stronger than solid silver, it will never flake or break, silver-filled will keep its beauty through years of daily wear.
