Review by Aimee Winner When I first took a look at LaurelOBrien on Etsy , I instantly fell in love with her artisan, handcrafted jewelry. Laurel, the craftsman and artist of this shop shows off the natural beauty of where she lives in New York in not only the pictures she takes of her jewelry, but in each piece that she creates (at least in my opinion...just take a look....I think you'll agree and LOVE)! ;) Forged Leaf Earrings . Hammered Gold brass with pyrite. 14K gold fill ear wires. LaurelOBrien 's Laurel is a one woman business and is talented in painting, drawing, sewing and concocting lotions; but is mostly interested in creating beautiful, (coveted, I might add lol) metal jewelry. She doesn't work with junk. What you get is made usually of real sterling silver, brass and or gold with real gems. You really do get what you pay for here. Abstracted flower ring in sterling silver. Antiqued Black nesting dome ring. Black Abstract Flower Necklace s
