Hand forged woven wire wrapped rings with Gemstones and Pearls in Sterling Silver

Here comes my latest handforged woven wire wrapped rings with Gemstones and Pearls.

The first one has a gorgeous Prasiolite (aka Green Amethyst) and Peridot gemstone flower attached to woven wire wrapped sterling silver base. The gemstone flower is one of my favorite designs and even though I’ve already done dozens variation (for example Fleur Bleue and Fiore Grazioso), I'm still surprised how different the flowers look with various gems. The base was made with a guidance of Gosia Domańska's wonderful ring tutorial!


The second ring has a basic base design just like my previous rings and the 3d flower is composed from huge Citrines, Keishi Pearls and Garnet beads.

Arctida Celebrates 100 Sales on Etsy!

I was so excited to see that I reached the 100 sales mark in my Etsy Store yesterday! Yay! :) Thank you so much to all of my awesome customers who allow me to do what I love and love what I do! I'm hoping 200 sales will come sooner than I think. Wish me luck! :)

The 100th sale was my wire wrapped Tree of Life necklace in Copper and Peridot!

and as it seems, my Tree of Life necklace becoming my best seller, I decided to introduce another variation in Sterling Silver and Peridot.... Ta Da! :)

Pandoras Beauty - Fine Art Nature Photography - Abstract Succulent Closeup

I have finally seen James Cameron's Avatar movie and I was completely blown away! Not by the story (obviously) but by the whole new world what is pictured there. It reminded me a lot the Pandora planet from Soviet Science Fiction writers brothers Strugatsky books but I won’t go into that now :) Anyway that computer animated world has given me a lot of ideas and I think I’m going to make a whole collection dedicated to Pandora planet.

So here is the first piece :) Ta da… Pandoras Beauty - a macro shot of a Succulent plant. It looks almost like something living in Pandora's forests...


oh and I found my earlier piece that could have been from the same forest, what do you think? :)
