Nivi - Contemporary style sculpted handforged Sterling Silver Hoops Earrings. Organic Jewelry by Arctida

This week EST challenge's theme is "Antarctida" hosted by LAccentNou.

Being “Arctida” off course I had to participate! We are talking about “my” twin sister here :) I decided to make something simple, cold yet beautiful, just like all that ice and snow in Antarctica… So here come my "Nivi"- silver hoops earrings with ruffled look which remind me the way icebergs, glaciers and snow-covered mountains reflect in the cold icy water.

Do you want to make a pair of hoops like this your self? Here is my tutorial for Ruffled Hoops earrings!

This beautiful shot by Rita Willaert was one of the inspiration sources for this challenge.


The Latin word “Nivi” has its origin in the word “Nix” meaning snow. I thought it would be perfect for these earrings :)

Domani - Amethyst and Peridot coiled artisan earrings in 14K Gold Filled

This week EST challenge's theme was "Morocco" hosted by creationsbyeve.

For this challenge I decided to revamp one of my older designs - Domani. It looks very ethnic but not quiet what I was looking for! And so I improved it and made it more bling-bling, more exotic and spicy, more glittering and shiny, simply more Moroccan :) and here is my new Moroccan version of Domani with Amethysts, Peridots and Gold filled.

 

Darlene - Gil Elvgren pin-up girls inspired necklace in 14K gold filled with Citrine, Garnet and Rubies

This week EST challenge's theme was "Gil Elvgren pin-up" hosted by oneperfectday.

After checking out his work I’ve got inspiration to make something gorgeous and sparkly for those beautiful cleavages that his girls have :) Off course it had to be in red and gold tones as it seems to be an appropriate color combination for pin up in my opinion :) So here is my Darlene – Champagne Citrine, Garnet, Gold and Ruby coiled artisan necklace.

Perhaps something this girl wouldn’t mind wearing… :)
