Monthly Wedding Catalog
Wednesday, May 7, 2014
Anna from GentleDecisions is known in Etsy as talented curator and an expert in making beautiful bridal accessories. Once a month she is going to make a Wedding Accessories Gide for us. Thank you, Anna!
This is a small catalog of my own line of bridal earrings:
Jewellery box by Dan Southern
Another jewellery box is going to my virtual jewellery box collection :) I love that a box can be as creative as a piece of jewellery in it! This one is called Hawaiian sun jewellery box. Still for sale!

Knife made in Iran in XVI century. Kremlin museum. (Click on the picture to open it bigger)
(More knives made by jewellers)
My today's post is about my inspiration. My designs for my best pieces are inspired by Russian ornaments (I wrote about it before, here), as well as the technique. This next picture shows how the inspiration worked:
Round geometric pendant with white fresh water pearls
However, only when I saw that knife from the top picture (the picture is from "The world of knives" book that I bought in Russia) I realized that I could do two layers of piercing. It was going to be double work, but I had time. This is how (sometimes) inspiration is being searched for. Not a simple process! :)
I loved working on these pieces. Here are just a few samples (all of them + many others are for sale in my Etsy shop):
Bear and its cub, silver and copper pendant
Forest pendant with gem quality kyanite
Art Nouveau dragonfly pendant with amethyst and rose quartz
Squirrel necklace, silver and copper
