Christmas Presents: Just For Fun Earrings

This post is for the dearest co-blogger Stella who wanted to see jewellery especially designed for Christmas!

Well, these days I have been working very hard and I didn't have enough time for myself (again). But I had to find time to create some jewels for my beloved persons and especially for my cute nieces. I have been playing with beads, cords and ribbons et voila the results:

These are made for the little one

And for my older niece I made this pair:

 

I hope they will enjoy their handmade just for fun presents! I also hope this weekend to create something new for myself as well!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Christmas preview

 Santa came earlier this year with many delicious presents!

Couldn't wait till Christmas lunch, so..

 

It was indeed very delicious but now ...I have to spend three days in the swimming pool to burn the calories!!

A Desigual Coat and Earrings with Ribbons

These days it was raining heavily and so, I decided to take my Desigual coat out of the closet. It's the first time I wear it after I bought it last January.  Coats are my new obsession and this one is one of my favorites!

What I like about the Desigual brand is the colorful designs. I feel like this coat gives color to the gloomy winter and at the same time it keeps me warm. What else can I ask for?

 

I love the patterns and the details.

And the matching earrings: completely different than my previous creations!

These are made with riverstone gemstones, colorful Japanese glass, cord and ribbon. I have used a surgical steel earring hook ideal for people who suffer from allergies (like me).

 

I wish you all a colorful and happy new week!!!

Jewels inspired by the sea (or by David Attenborough)

The jewels I am presenting you today (a pendant and a pair of earrings) are inspired by the sea. My inspiration maybe stems from the fact that I have been watching for days David Attenborough (The Blue Planet). Omg, I have learnt in one single week everything that I didn't get in Biology classes at school. I was impressed by the shear and wild beauty of the stingray fish.

The pendant...

 

 

 

...and the matching pair of earrings

The gemstone for this project was also originated by the sea. I couldn't choose anything else than sponge.

The Bell Earrings

I had many plans for the weekend but unfortunately I stayed home (sigh..) because of a flu. Well, the good news of staying home is that I spent many hours in my workshop designing and creating! The result was a pair of 830 silver earrings with curves that remind me of bells.

The curve was shaped using this tool (one of my favorites)

 

I couldn't do anything more, though I have a pendant in my mind. I hope I will feel much better tomorrow!

A Package For Me

At last, this morning I received my package from amazon.co.uk with my new Fly shoes

And since one pair is not enough...

My new shoes from Clarks. Because a working girl needs to feel comfortable at the office (and while waiting in the long queues in the shops)!

 

 

And because all the nice things happen on Friday, I was awarded by the dearest blogger Haute World. Thank you so much, you made my day!! Happy weekend everyone!

Voila Mes Creations: a Ring And Bracelets!!

It was a very busy and creative week! After melting the pure silver it was casted in this form.

And the result was this beautiful ring...

...as well as these hammered bracelets...

I am currently working on a pendant and a pair of earrings. I will also post photos of the new designs as soon as they are ready. I wish all a happy new week!!
