Sakura Cherry blossoms necklace for women Nature jewelry

Spring is finally here, and with it comes Cherry blossom, or Sakura.

In 1998, 63 sakura trees were planted in Stockholm’s King’s Garden — or Kungsträdgården — and a new Swedish tradition was born. Thousands of visitors come every year to see the blossoms fall. But it’s not the only place in the archipelagic city basking in cherry blossom. More than 10,000 trees have been planted along the streets of the city, and as I lived there for almost 20 years it was my most favorite time of the year walking along the streets of Stockholm. Those memories gave inspiration to the latest addition to my fused glass jewelry collection - Sakura Cherry blossoms necklace 🥰

Handmade sterling silver rings inspired by northern nature

A selection of artisan silver rings inspired by nature that I’ve made...Some are made with traditional silversmithing techniques, some are metal clay rings and the one that looks like a lucky clover is a wire wrapped ring. I like mixing the techniques but my favorite one is using the metal clay as it gives me more freedom to create different shapes, textures and patterns.

Argentium sterling silver wide ring band with abstract Celtic inspired pattern.

New shiny ring in my shop! This time it is a hand forged massive textured Argentium sterling silver ring band with abstract Celtic inspired pattern. As it is Argentium silver and not traditional sterling silver the band it self and the pattern were fused and not soldered in place. Which is what I like so much about Argentium and off course the fact that it is a tarnish-resistant sterling silver that is 100% recycled.

I've been making a lot of nature inspired rings lately and I wanted to show my latest custom order engagement ring. The ring is hand-carved from Precious Metal Clay Sterling 960, tree bark textured, polished and in the middle I've set a genuine Garnet gemstone. The ring was inspired by my Frost ring so I photographed them together to show you the likeness and the difference :)

Green gemstone flower ring Prasiolite Peridot wire wrapped sterling silver ring - Gemstone flower collection by Arctida

For the past couple of years I've been making jewelry using mostly metal clay and traditional silversmiths techniques but I haven't stopped with wire wrapping completely. It was the first technique that I've learned in jewelry making and it will always have a special place in my heart :)

So here is a another example of my wire wrapped creations. This one is 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 (some examples of my Gemstone Flowers collection), I'm still surprised how different the flowers look with various gems. The woven ring base was made with a guidance of Gosia Domańska's wonderful ring tutorial.

Here is a forth piece from my exam work for Precious Metal Clay certification. This time it is a rustic nature inspired Druzy ring.
