Look what I made

Today i'm very happy to show you what I created using these malachite gemstone beads.

Early this year I was telling you about my little discovery Malachite jewelry and what this stone mean to me.

Couple weeks ago I found those stunning malachite beads at one of the retail stores here in Seattle. As usually I couldn't pass them and I got  them in to my shopping bag.  Coin shape and faceted. I love faceted stones as they reflect sun lights and brings more attention.

If you know my jewelry style  you can guess that I will make something elegant and ready to wear for the everyday. Malachite looks great in gold so the first earrings I made was those beautiful 14K Yellow Gold Malachite earrings.

If you remember my Thrifty Find in the beginning of this year were I got Sterling silver malachite bracelet,  the next earrings should be in sterling silver. I used one of my favorite diamond cut leverback so faceted malachite and leverback were connected to each other. Those Sterling silver Malachite earring were sold within 24 hours. Love when it happen.

Look What I Made

Welcome to the new 2012 year and my first blog post. This year I will start with Look What I Made . I've been pretty busy the last couple months and as a result not so many posts here. But Let's start new year with the new hopes to make my blog more interesting.

So Look What I Made and for today it'll be handmade gemstone earrings and awesome bracelet.

One of my most popular style with hammered wire and gemstones. These are mystic blue topaz and sterling silver. Don't you think that they remind you waterfall ?!

Next one I named Go Green with Green Onyx and 14K Gold Filled wire. Yesterday when I was making photos of them the sun was so bright and each side of the stones were reflecting bright sun.

And the last for today is my favorite. As only I found those gemstone links in vermeil (gold plated over sterling silver) I fall in love with them. Great size and shape for my style jewelry. After I made this SMOKEY QUARTZ BRACELET I got a couple request on making chokers in the same styles. Well now need to get those supplies and way to go.

Hand Knit

Unique custom cut gemstones

In my jewelry I always trying to find unique, custom cute gemstones. Some of the gemstones made specially for me and very limited edition. Today I want to share with my new stone.

24KT real gold inside natural rock crystal.

If you interesting how it was made - here is some information. Natural rock crystal have been sliced with a lazer, then layers of solid 24Kt real solid gold inside, then parts were reheated and fused together. The result is one of a kind hand made gemstone. Extra sparkle gives faceted sides of gemstones.

When I made jewelry with this kind of gemstones I don't need go crazy - simple is a beauty.

Wire wrapping natural rocks

My new line is a natural uncuted free form stones. They are as beautiful as those which have been polished and faceted. Free form wire wrapping makes this kind of jewelry one of a kind. Wile wrapping with the wire I never know what result I willl recive at the end.


This natural fluorite rock I found in the lockal rock shop.


I'm working on some Amethyst sets right now.

Affordable collection jewelry

With my new camera I'm so lucky - it takes me 2-3 seconds and the great photos are done! Love it! This brass necklace and mixed gemstones looks great togather. Faceted green aventurine and prehnite with Swarovski crystals. Unique, simple and the most important part - Affordable!

You are always welcome to my new shop GifstUnder10 - to find a deal for your jewelry collection.

Giftsunder10 - affordable handmade jewelry

I’m happy to invite you to visit my new shop GiftsUnder10. The idea of creating another shop was very simple; it will let many of you enjoy my jewelry for less. I usually have a lot of higher cost custom orders in USA and Russia which allows me to buy at wholesale, buying in bulk allows me to have an overage of gemstones. I was keeping them for a long time in my treasury box, but now I found a better to use the excess inventory. Most of the jewelry in this shop is one of a kind and I simply cannot reproduce it, so if you shop on a budget you will find this a great new site to hunt for bargains.

I have 2 main sections to help make your shopping easier,

Jewelry under 5

and

Jewelry under 10

Citrine handmade jewelry

Citrine brings happiness, joy and optimism into your life. One of only two minerals on the planet which do not hold accumulate negative energy but dispels and transform it. You don’t ever have to clean Citrine, because it doesn’t hold negativity. Citrine energizes, and invigorates, promotes warmth, comfort, and energy. Citrine will open the mind to new thoughts. Often used by healers to increase self esteem.

No wonder as only I saw those beautiful stones I became more creative with the new rich style of jewelry.

I already have RING, beautiful NECKLACE and lovely EARRINGS.

Jet Jewelry

You never know what you can find at some gemstone shops. From my last trip to my local store I discovered JET stone for my jewelry! I've got a couple of friends who LOVES bold jewelry. They like big stones. I was really very surprised when I took 2 of this Jet stones. The size of the stones is around 35x22mm but oh gosh, you wouldn't believe how light are they. Perfect for earring wich I already posted as my new listing at MyWayToSay shop.

Jet (also known as gagate) is fossilized coal. It is a hard, lightweight lustrous black stone that was used in mourning jewelry during the Victorian era (especially after Queen Victoria's husband died in 1861 and she went into long period of mourning, greatly affecting jewelry fashion). Jet is frequently cabochon cut. Most jet is from Whitby, England; jet has been mined near Whitby (on the Yorkshire coast of England) since prehistoric times. It is also found in Spain, France, Germany, and Russia, but these other sources are said to be inferior to the harder, more elastic Whitby jet. Jet has a hardness of 2.5-4 (quite soft) and a specific gravity of 1.30-1.35 (it is relatively lightweight). Jet leaves a brown streak. When burnt with a red-hot needle, jet smells like coal. Black glass and plastics are often used to imitate jet (glass is much heavier and harder than jet) - jet is warm to the touch.
