Still working...

Still working while my friends are somewhere here..sigh..

My outfit makes me at least feel better (I am such a superficial person, I know.)

Blue dress Mango

and a wooden necklace handcrafted (by me) during the weekend.

Malachite pendant

Malachite gemstone in ancient times was believed to ward off disease, lightning and witchcraft.

Today it is believed to absorb negative energy and to guard against radiation...

...and to release old traumas.

Even the World Cup Trophy has a malachite base.

This malachite pendant I was wearing on Friday was made in my workshop two years ago for my mum's name day. I used 925 sterling silver and this marvelous gemstone. I chose malachite because my mum's eyes have its color. Well, my eyes don't but some times I can't resist and I borrow the pendant.

Thank you, mum, for the inspiration (and for allowing me to wear it)!

Maxi dress and citrine necklace

This summer I am obsessed with maxi dresses. They are feminine, stylish and comfortable at the same time.

This is the dress I wore yesterday. Bought two years ago from a tiny shop in London and still one of my favorites.

Styled with Anne Klein sandals

and a simple handcrafted (by me) necklace with citrine gemstone nuggets.

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.

And as they look from the back side

Happy new week everyone!
