Recently finished these pair of ear studs, I got these two cabochons for a customer that just had bought my ‘button ring‘ and wanted the same stone for earrings. Unfortunately  she wanted  even smaller cabs,  so these are going in my shop.

Also I had the chance yesterday to photograph 2 more pieces, I was experimenting trying to take pictures of me wearing jewelery. Very frustrating, my camera thankfully coped OK.

This a necklace I have made last summer, using disc beads from bone (recycled from an old piece of jewelery), jasper round beads and Boca de Negro Seed beads (black beans).  The clasp is handmade and from silver.

Love it for summer!

Just finished these extremely lightweight set of earrings. Again I worked with pieces of  silver wire, which i soldered together to make this leaf shape.

You can find the earrings for sale in my Dawanda shop.

In this post I will also include photos which I took during the making of these earrings.

Shaped the wire, did appropriate filling and I am ready to solder. You can also see my sketchbook

After soldering the wires, I file any excess solder

My bench at the end of a project... I 'd better clean the mess

And the final product

These cutties are made from fine silver, they are polished, ready to shine when you wear them.

I used leaves from my herb pot  to take the shots.

I have been working on these lovelies for a week now, I have used the last two turquoise cabochons from my stash. I love turquoise in the summer, its like the sea and the sky all in one. Reminds me of vacations in the Greek islands.

I gave them a short of rustic feel and oxidized them for an antiqued look. I will upload this set into my shops in the next couple of days.

Το μπλε τουρκουαζ για μενα σηματοδοτει το καλοκαιρι, ειναι η πετρα συμβολο για τον καλοκαιρινο ηλιο και ουρανο και την ελληνικη θαλασσα.  Μετα τα 2 δαχτυλιδια με τουρκουαζ ερχεται ενα ζευγαρι σκουλαρικια με 2 ολοστρογγυλα τουρκουαζ καμποσον, τα τελευταια απο την συλλογη μου.

I welcome you to my new blog with my new necklace. From now on I will be blogging here.

I had these faceted amethyst rondelles a few months now, wondering what to do with them, I just needed to find the right components. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to combine these with maybe some Rose Quartz, Freshwater Pearls or Aventurine chips that I had in my gem drawers.
But at the end I chose these lovely silver beads. What do you think?

Origami style Amethyst necklace

Καλως ηρθατε στο καινουργιο μου blog, απο εδω και περα εδω θα ειναι το μερος που θα γραφω και θα παρουσιαζω τα κοσμηματα μου.

Θα αρχισω λοιπον με αυτο το κολιε με πετρες Αμεθυστου.  Αυτες τις υπεροχες ροδελες τις ειχα στο συρταρι μου εδω και 2 περιπου μηνες, δεν ημουν σιγουρη με τι και πως να τις συνδυασω και ετσι αυτες περιμεναν υπομονετικα την μοιρα τους.  Ετσι μια μερα αποφασισα οτι αρκετα τις εχω κρυμμενες, κατι επρεπε να τις κανω, και ετσι τις συνθεσα με αυτες τις Hill Tribe ασημενιες χαντρες σε στυλ Οριγκαμι.

Today I ‘ve this set of  ‘uneven’ set of earrings into my Dawanda & ArtFire shop. For this I have used many different gemstones most are AAA quality, and the cross is Swarovski crystal. The ear posts are Hill Tribe silver.
