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 :)

Amolite Earrings made of copper and silver with enamel

These earrings are made for the same person who ordered the Amolite pendant. It was an intersting order: interesting person, interesting dicussion and interesting result. I am very happy.

Sea bottom pendant with tourquoise

My customer came to pick up her order... I knew that she liked my See Bottom line and showed her my latest pendants, each in its own white box.

...She picks up the larimar pendant and says: "Blue-coloured stone is perfect  in a pendant like that! Tourquoise would be the best." 

I smiled and said: "Keep looking."

I think, she was ready to fall in love with this pendant by the time she opened a box with it. I did not expect that, but the pendant left me that day.

Jewellery Masterpieces virtual collection

Larissa Podgoretz is the author of these wonderful pieces of jewellery. An elegant frame and an intricate picture. True eye candy!

I've noticed thatthe Russian artists often become my inspiration. I find it interesting... It has nothing to do with a style. They all have different styles developed to perfection.

Of course I see that the artists who can do the same (the perfection in what they are doing) live in all countries and make wonderful things. 

I think, my choice of inspirationaal artists has something to do with a surprise when I find them. There was lack of art jewellery in Soviet Union and early Russian Federation, even though the artists were trained professionally. I am just happy to see that time changes.

Picture Gallery Silver Necklace

This necklace features a nice picture jasper. This nature created landscape is accented by the hand engraved silver plates.  The design is created according to my customer's idea.

Necklace with opals and amolites

 

This is one piece out of 3-piece custom order. It has it's own story of creation... I won't tell all of it, just mention that it took lots of stone-hunting and design-developing. Of couse (as always) the picture does not show the real beauty of this 3-D piece with lots of colours and textures. It gives me a feeling of a holiday and reminds of the fireworks.... All the sparkles are natural, given by amolites, Ephiopean opals, citrines, garnet and iolites that make this piece very elegant despite so many colours. It is a big pendant, but not as big as it looks like on this neck-stand. The width is 9cm and the height is 8cm. I will try and keep it for a few days so I can enjoy looking at it :)
