Earrings for the Summer

Back to creations (at last!) with two pairs of earrings especially designed for the summer nights. 

I have used sterling silver 925 as well as a blue cotton cord and a light purple organza. 

I hope that summer will be as colorful and 'happy' as my new earrings.

Turquoise Earrings

Summer is here (at last!) and turquoise is the official gemstone of the new season. 

 So, the first creation for this summer is a pair of earrings especially designed for my dearest friend Marina. I have used sterling silver 925 and of course, turquoise gemstones...

...while the technique of hammering  adds an ancient look to the earrings. 

 I hope she will enjoy her present!

Tourmaline earrings

Today I am presenting you a new version of the coral earrings. I have used the same design but I replaced coral with my favorite gemstone, tourmaline.

How much I love this gemstone!

For this pair I used as usual 925 sterling silver.

Happy new week everyone!

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!!

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.
