Runway 2011, Vancouver

Full credit for these picture goes to Keith Walters, the photographer who did a great job during the catwalk at the Vancouver Fashion Week 2010, and took all these great shots!

I was also very thankful to the coordinators who paired my jewellery with Papillon, local fashion company, whose designs I happened to just love! They look great together, don't they?

Amethist pendant

Getting ready for my Advanced Stone Setting Class is a good reason to make one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery. This pendant is made of silver, copper and brass with an amethist.

My husband had a funny reaction to this pendant.
- Is this a real diamond?
- No, this is a real amethist.
- Hm... Fake diamond?
- No! A REAL amethist! :)

Canadian labradorite pendant

Most of labradorite stones come from Madagascar nowadays. This one is from Labrador, the area that gave the name to the stone.

Some times I make jewellery for my personal "not-for-sale"collection. This pendant is one of those pieces.

Winter in a Russian fairy-tale

Rina took these pictures near by her house in the suburbs of Moscow, Russia. It happened right before Christmas.
