Canadian labradorite necklace

 

This is Canadian labradorite necklace. The gemstone is set in sterling silver and hangs on the leather cords.

Most of the commercial labradorite stones are mined in Madagascar. Canadian labradorite is a very rear stone to see in jewelry. Most of it is very cracked and impossible to use. That is usually the case. The stone in this necklace is not perfectly perfect, but it is descent quality and has a very nice blue flash. The stone has been custom cut by a local (Canadian) lapidary artist.
This artisan necklace is a unique conversation piece.

The size of the pendant is 3,5cm * 2,5cm (1 3/8" * 1"). Pendant comes with a leather cord and silver clasp. The length of the necklace is 16''.

The necklace is for sale at my etsy shop.

Handmade Snowflake necklace

I rarely do not take a deposit for a custom order. This was one of those few times a year ago... that only proved the rule of deposit for future... The customer liked it, promised to send payment, but has never done so. This pendant is for sale now at my etsy store.

Fall necklace

This new necklace is not a newly made piece. This happens to jewellery sometimes... when it is made and put away in a box and... well forgotten. Why? Nobody knows... just happens. It was wrong time to try and sell it, perhaps... Now it is taken from its plastic bag and photographed to find its display in my etsy shop. Autumn is coming and this pendant is a reflection of my fall mood...

My little squirrels

I took my jewellery from CCBC gallery on Granville Island and started putting it out into my etsy shop.
This squirrel necklace is one of the pieces from the gallery:

The stones (citrine and garnet) make this necklace one of a kind. I always try to make changes in my cast pieces so they can still be unique. I have another necklace with this pattern... This one:

It is also unique and one of a kind. The background is a handmade copper piece. Both pictures are from my etsy shop. Both pieces are available for sale. The first one is here, the second is here.

News

I just realised that I did not write anything for more than a month now. It looks like I do not do anything :) That would be totally ok, as it is summer (lazy days season), but I am busy with creating and promoting my etsy shop. Those pictures to the right from this text change pretty much every day. New things keep coming.

I also pulled my jewellery from CCBC gallery on Granville Island for now, as I could not give them what they needed. There was not much left there. However, whatever I got back (three necklaces and a few pairs of earrings) are going to be available in my etsy shop.

I am also experimenting with a new style... and I could show something already... but I think I will wait with that :)

Fashion bracelet for a mother of a young baby

This bracelet is made of silver, copper and an assortment of gem and a few glass and wooden beads. The choice of beads was influenced by their shapes. I have a young baby and  wanted to offer him very small objects for touching.Though I did not want him to be able to put them into his mouth... So, the decision to make a bracelet like this has come easily. I wear the bracelet and he can touch all the different beads with his little fingers! We both are very happy with each other :)

Big Swarovski bling

This necklace is made of copper, seed beads (Japanese), brass, black pearls, black onyx beads and lots of Swarovski crystals. The big black stone is also a pear-shaped Swarovski crystal. Very elegant, playful and expensive looking one-of-a-kind necklace. Available at the Just Jewellery gallery.

Last piece of jewellery before moving!

Well... less than 2 weeks are left before moving. I managed to find time for just one more ring :) I love how it looks on my hand, but... the pearl is not permanently attached, so the size can be changed. My etsy store is on vacation for the moving, but as soon as it is back, the ring will be available for purchase. Current size is 5,5. Price: $135.00

Season of Earrings

Summer is here! So as new collection of fashion earrings :) These are not all, of course. There are a few other designs. The earrings are made to be sold at the Just Jewellery. There will be a few necklaces too. They were fun to make :) I hope they will be fun to wear!

(Now I just need to get them to the gallery in next few days :)
Update: Earrings are available at the Just Jewellery gallery.

Swarovski crystals are nice!

I have nothing to add :) Besides that this is a handmade piece... and absolutely fantastic! For sale, of course :)
