The brass stampings, beads and gem replicas we offer are used in many projects other than jewelry design. Here are just a few great ideas worth sharing.
The beautiful bud vase pictured here was a gift from my sister and her husband. It includes several filigrees, a flower and two cherubs. They are soldered to a large round filigree and a plain brass band to hold it all together. The band doesn't show, but it is inside the design at the heads of the cherubs. The vase can be removed from the ornate holder for cleaning. The same concept could easily be used to make decorated jar candles or bud vases of your own design.
Large filigrees were added to #A10 post earring backs to create unique push pins for an ornately framed bulletin board.
You could also use filigrees or stampings to create refrigerator magnets, to make stencils or decorations for scrapbooks, as embellishments for picture frames, lamp shades, trinket boxes... the list is endless!
