So here are the latest gemstone hoops with Apatites, Amethysts, Citrines, Rubies, Green Quartz and Carnelians wire wrapped in 14 gold filled.

Harmonia - Agate Citrine Peridot Prasiolite emerald green Quartz necklace in sterling silver and gold filled. Handmade gemstone jewelry by Arctida

Here is another set of custom orders that I have had a chance to photograph so that I can show them to you guys :) All of them are based on my original *Harmonia* necklace that I first made back 2010. The gems vary a little bit and so do the swirls as I make them by hand each time, but the basic Art Nouveau style design is there. The gems that I've used are: green Agate, Citrine, Peridot, Prasiolite (aka green Amethyst) and emerald green Quartz. The metals are both sterling silver and 14K gold filled.

Gemstone hoops Carnelian Citrine Garnet Peridot hoop earrings in 14K gold filled. Handmade gemstone jewelry by Arctida.

I love making custom orders. It is so much fun when people ask me to create things I otherwise wouldn't think to make, or things that I've been planning but just haven't gotten around to yet. Like this order for example. One of my customers fell in love with my gemstone hoops but she wanted them in Autumnal color palette instead. I've been wanted to make more gemstone hoops in different color combination for ages now so this time it was a perfect opportunity to do just that :)

So here are the latest ones with Carnelians, Citrines, Garnets and Peridots in 14 gold filled.

Citrine - November Birthstone

Do you have a birthday in November? Happy Birthday! One of this month’s birthstone, is a lovely Citrine.

The name Citrine comes from an old French world, “Citron”, meaning lemon. One of the more rare forms of quartz, this gemstone ranges in color from the pastel yellow to dark brownish orange named Madeira because of its resemblance to the red wine. The citrine quartz was actually once considered part of the topaz family and can be seen being referred to as the gold topaz, Madeira or Spanish topaz. 

This golden gemstone is extremely popular, very collectible and affordable. Citrine is one of only two gems on the entire planet that do not hold any negative energy. As a result, it is said to support vitality and health while encouraging and guiding hope, energy and warmth within the wearer.

Citrine is very much in vogue and is the latest trend hitting the red carpet. (In fact, according to the recently released pantone report, yellow is considered to be one of the hottest colors in spring 2013. Besides, Citrine complements a fall and winter wardrobe and adds a pop of color to your wardrobe.

So here are a couple of my new minimalistic designs with Citrine: golden Citrine necklace and pale pastel yellow Citrine earrings.

  
and here is a little selection of my previsions designs with Citrine...

PMC Oak leaf, Amber, Carnelian, Citrine, Garnet, and Pyrite mixed media gemstone necklace. Handmade jewelry by Arctida

I've been learning to work with the coolest new media in jewelry making -  PMC (Precious Metal Clay) since last spring and I'm finally starting to list pieces of jewelry that are made of it.

What is PMC? A unique form of pure silver (mainly composed of recycled silver particles) suspended in an organic binder. In this clay-like state it allows PMC artists to form and sculpt metal clay by hand. When fired at high temperatures by torch or in a jeweler's kiln, the binder burns off and the silver particles are fused together. The result is a one-of-a-kind pure silver piece (.999) purer than Sterling silver (.925).

So here is the first piece of many :) The focal pendant was made PMC using real Oak leaf from my garden as a template. The leaf has gone through a lengthy layering, drying and firing process that allows its physical properties to transfer to the silver replication. After firing, I hand polished the silver leaf pendant and applied multicolored iridescent patina, to make it look like a real fall leaf. So of course the necklace had to be made in autumnal colors as well. I chose different sizes of Amber, Carnelian, Citrine, Garnet and Pyrite rondelles and wire wrapped them into a handmade chain.

I love the versatility that PMC offers to the artists and all those endless possibilities to incorporate colored gemstones, the reason why I've entered the world of jewelry making in the first place. So stay tuned as more jewelry pieces are on the way :)

Lanlea - Gemstone earrings. Citrine, Garnets, Keshi pearls, Pyrites and Smoky Quartz earrings wire wraped in 14K gold filled. Handmade gemstone jewellery by Arctida

A couple of years ago I've got an old pair of earrings from my grandmother with gorgeous faceted Smoky Quartz briolettes (aka Smokey Topaz). The earrings were made of dark pewter (sorry no picture it was a couple of years ago) and did not make any justice to the truly stunning gems they had *hidden* :) I decided to upcycle the gems by making cluster earrings with more golden yellow and burgundy red gemstones and Keishi pearls for extra sparkle and make the setting in gold. So here is the final result!

~Lanlea~ Gemstone earrings. Smoky Quartz, Garnet, Citrine, Pyrite and Keshi pearls earrings wire wrapped in 14k gold filled and 18K Vermeil ballpins.

I'm in love with the vines :) I mean wire vines, although I do like the grape ones too :) So lately I've been experimenting with different shapes. I have already posted a couple of designs (Kiena and Neda) with the vines and here are my latest ones (Niolle och Domani)

and I have taken my first picture with a model! My hubby's pretty cousin has graciously agreed to model for me, and if you look close there are vines there too :)
