Scales of Justice by Jennifer of Envy Designs Jewelry
The scales of justice usually held by the goddess Themis, or Lady justice. I have to thank my husband for this idea.
North America by Ghislaine of GS Creations:
My July challenge piece. Since I am Canadian and I live in the U.S. and my son is both Canadian and American I decided to honor both countries. I created this fine silver pendant with the maple leaf representing Canada and the Stars for the U.S.
Memory of Holland by Esmerelda of SilverBlueberry
It has part of a Dutch poem that for me is Holland more than anything else. I added red, white and blue (rubies, quartz and sapphires in the front, freshwater pearls in the back) for our flag color. The translation of these first sentences is:
Thinking of Holland
I see wide-flowing rivers
slowly traversing
infinite plains,
It's written by H. Marsman
Remember September 11 by Tammi of My Brown Wren
This is my third try at the Etsy Metal Clay Heads July Challenge on Patriotism. It is an artistic rendition of the Twin Towers.
I Heart my Country by Betty of FacciaFelice
This is the piece I designed for the Metal Clay Heads Team Bi-Monthly challenge Patriotism.
I used the signature red, white and blue colors on a fine silver heart to express my love to my country.
I used the signature red, white and blue colors on a fine silver heart to express my love to my country.
The star is the state where I'm living in now - California.
Patriotism and Hope by Anise of SeavBeach Designs

American Flag Earrings by Erin of Heartsabustin
Lady Liberty by Patsy of OxOriginalArtJewelry
Polish Coin Necklace by Terri of Nineteen Thirteen
One clear cubic zirconia and one red lab corundum garnet have been added to the bail to represent the Polish flag. The words "SUPA DUPA" have been added to the back...this can either represent "Super Duper" or "Nice Butt" which is my very loose interpretation of a Polish saying my grandmother used to repeat!
America the Beautiful by Lisa of Willow and Me Jewelry
This pin was made for my Metal Clay Heads team challenge. The challenge was to make something patriotic. The first thing I thought of wasn't the flag or the national anthem, but the song all Americans learn in grade school: "America the Beautiful".
A note about the photos. Some of the pieces are listed in the artist's shop, while others are not. Where they are, they were linked to the shop and can be found by clicking on the photo. The others were taken from their uploads to the Metal Clay Heads group on Flickr. They, along with alternate views of the items, can be seen here.
Those all are so wonderful! I was on vacation in Santa Fe and couldn't get in the challenge.
