Mimi Steadman Handmade Jewelry
On the following pages, you will find a sampling of designs in the current collections. Each of these stylish and timeless pieces has been handcrafted from the finest quality fourteen-karat gold fill* or sterling silver and semi-precious stones and/or freshwater pearls.
I create all of my work in my seaside studio on the midcoast of Maine. As much as I enjoy making the jewelry, it gives me even more pleasure to see it being worn and enjoyed. What could be nicer than creating something beautiful for you that enhances your own natural beauty?
Each piece of jewelry comes in a silky amethyst drawstring bag. I will also be happy to gift wrap your purchase at no extra charge.
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and pendants are all available. Please note that since I do not make multiples of each design, pieces pictured here may already be sold. Please contact me regarding the piece(s) that interest you, or to discuss what you are looking for. If I do not have what you are seeking in my current collection, I will do my best to create it for you, provided I can find the stones and other components required for the particular design.
*Jewelry made from 14-karat gold fill is considered heirloom-quality jewelry. Fourteen-karat gold fill should never be confused with gold plate. In fact 14-karat gold fill contains 200 times more gold than gold plate. Fourteen-karat gold fill is an affordable variation on pure 14-karat gold, and is considered lifetime jewelry. It is created by forming solid fourteen-karat gold with a filling, only at its very core, of base metal. Because the very center is not gold, the cost is far more reasonable than full 14-karat gold. In sharp contrast, gold plate is base metal with only a “nail polish” of gold applied on top. The thin coating of gold on gold plate will wear off. Fourteen-karat gold fill, on the other hand, will always remain true gold.
