The Dragon's Eye

Well, I am a little bit too late :) This was supposed to be finished by August 2012. I have 5 or 6 more that are still not finished. I am not sure that I want to... This brooch is sooo bright and takes all the attention from a person who wears it... that nobody will probably want it anyway. Anyway... it is done, and it is a pretty object :)

Chrysocolla with malachite cabochon

I've received this fabulous stone today! Hm.... What should I make with it?.. Hm...

Silver pendant with tourmalated quartz

Again, one more small pendant as an any-day-jewellery-piece. Cute, elegante and moderately sparkly pendant... with another drop-shaped stone... I think I am officially in love with this shape of the gems. Whanever I think of making an elegant feminine piece of jewellery... my hand is stretching for a drop-shaped stone... I just need to remember to use small cute gems, so I do not end up with something like this :)

Purple sugilite pendant

This beautiful deep purple sugilite is one of my favourite stones. The shape of it inspired me to make a peacock feather with it... but I did not :) I felt that it needed to be used for a pendant that could be worn any day of the week... it would be a shame to hide such a nice stone waiting for a special occasion. So, here it is! If you are local and interested in it, check out Just Jewellery, as this is where I placed it for sale. Otherwise, let me know and I will check if it is still available.

Larimar silver pendant

This is my try to make a simple pendant. I failed :))  The stone is just too big to make a "simple" pendant for my "Sea Bottom" collection. That's ok, though... I'd gotten small stones for that goal already... And even made a couple... they are cute... and they are coming... :)

Turquoise pendant

Well... I had two of these nice turquoise stones. One was round and one was oval. The pendant with the round stone was sold in a blink of an eye. So, I needed to use my second stone right a way. Hm... it is upside down from my original design, though I definitely like it better this way...  It could be one of my most favourite pendants...

Blue Sugilite pendant

This is a silver pendant made with a blue (and a little bit purple) sugilite, a cubic zirconia and two sapphire imitation stones. This deep blue colour reminds me of a deep sea. I was a little bit surprised that the stone "allowed" the fish around itself only. No starfish or turtle or even a shell could help to accent its beauty. It has been right... I am a little bit in love with this design myself...

Silver pendant with pink tourmaline and cubic zirconia

 

This is a very bright pink tourmaline with a checkerboard facet finish in one of my Sea Bottom pendants. It is not very usual for me to put a stone that is not blue or green in a pendant like that. Though this stone reminds me of a treasure that you can find at the bottom of the sea... I have to admit I am fascinated with the idea of how many treasures are out there where nobody can find them....

Peacock Feather copper necklace with dichroic glass cabochon

This is an experiment. I made a few necklaces with the peacock feathers. They all were attached hanging down. This feather hangs "up". Hm... I like it. I find it interesting and rather bold.

Amolite ring

Here is the last item from the 3-piece order. It is a silver ring with amolites and Ephiopean opal that it very yellow, but very bright and sparkly (perfect match for these amolites!)  It took a little bit of playing with the stones and researching a style that the customer would like. I am very happy with the result, but she is happier :) as it is her ring now :)
