My gem collection. Dendritic agate
Thursday, July 17, 2014
I considered myself being very lucky when I've come across this dendritic agate. I think it is absolutely fantastic! (The picture does not give it justice)
It could make a great piece for my Ocean Life collection... However, all those sea creatures that I put around the stones increase the pendants' sizes considerably... This Art Nouaveau design is a bit crazy, but I think I like it :)
Virtual collection. Jewelry box by NacreArt
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
It was awhile since I added any jewelry boxes into my virtual collection! This store has a few fantastic jewelry boxes with the mother of pearl inlay. I admire the work and I am going to consider a box for future.
What jewelry to wear with a yellow dress
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
What jewelry can we wear with a yellow dress? Perhaps, if you think "gold" or "black", you might be right. Those two colors will work. Both of those choices would be a bit too usual and boring, in my opinion. The gold color will blend in and the black is not really classy when paired with yellow... way too bold. Jewelry that is contrasting with a yellow dress is good. It just needs to be contrasting in a good way... elegant, perhaps is the word for what I am trying to achieve when I pair jewelry with an outfit :)
An extensive yellow dress needs a contrasting piece of jewelry that gives your outfit real drama. Bright purple stone pendant is the best choice, in my opinion.
A dress with a fancy lace texture can be hard to pair with a piece of jewelry. However, bright peacock pearls and metallic blue / green earrings won't get lost in this look.
An outfit that is classic and classy. Cute vintage dress with a floral pattern and a large sterling silver pendant with a pink pearl. A dress does not need to be vintage to look great with a pendant like this, by the way ;)

Creative yellow dress can be matched with a creative statement necklace. If you do not mind lots of positive attention, go bold! Here is a necklace that has everything: it is big, it is made of mixed metals and it features a bright blue stone. Lots of attention, I promise! :)

A simple dress goes with a simple silver pendant. You just need to find your perfect simple pendant.
Low cleavage yellow dress can be matched with a big blue stone pendant. Yellow and blue can look fantastic together if you mix them thoughtfully.
Dark copper and silver pendant will look great with a simple dress of yellow color that is not too bright and not too pale. Just silver pendant would blend with it, however copper helps it to stand out.

Friday Gift Guide
Friday, July 11, 2014
Fantastic summer Guide by Irina this Friday! Even though she lives very far from here, her today's collection shows exactly what weather we have in Vancouver! It is hot and the best place to be is a shade or a beach by the turquoise ocean waters :)

Plume agate for an Ocean Life pendant
Thursday, July 10, 2014
The shape of this gorgeous stone was so beautiful and so inspiring that I thought it would take me years to decide what to do with it. It probably would... if that stone was not relatively large. The size of it eliminated all sorts of designs that could make the pendant too big. I've decided to keep it as simple as I dared :)
While the pendant is not scheduled to be made yet, check out what other Ocean Life pendants and earrings I have in my Etsy Shop.
Before and after. Fireplace.
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
A few years ago we've moved into a house that needed total renovation. We've changed everything: kitchen, two bathrooms, all bedrooms and the outside of the house. There could be many blog posts about "Before and after"! At that time I was very busy with my off-line life and did not even think of taking pictures...
We have moved again... This house does not have as much of what needs to be changed. However, some changes are needed to be done for sure. We started with a fireplace.
We needed to put our tv over the firplace just like we had it in our previous house. Otherwise we just did not know what to do with it. Also, we did not want that tile on floor, as it seemed to be dangerous for a child to fall onto.
I did not take this picture. I did not have time (I never do!). My husband starts his projects unannounced and works fast :) I had been lucky to find a video of this house on a real estate web-site before it has been removed. This is the only screenshot that I managed to take.
The fireplace was not built in one day, so I managed to take the pictures of the process!
It is working! We tried it only a couple of times. This was the first time. The second time was when we put the tv up. Our tv was bigger than the recessed space for it. That was unlucky. The heat would melt it if we would use the fireplace. However, we are not going to turn it on anyway, as we do not want our child to burn his hand. It is there just to be and look good :)
A tv hanger is nowhere to be found in the stores! We had to order it online.
Yes, my husband did the fireplace himself as he is a licensed gasfitter
