Cyanobacteria necklace for women Microbiology jewelry Blue green algae

Introducing new additions to my Science jewelry collection! This time made of fused glass (by me obviously 🙄) and a bit of sterling silver. The first one is inspired by Cyanobacteria filaments (Blue green algae). Back in 2010 I've already made a sterling silver/green Agate gems necklace inspired by Cyanobacteria (what can I say I love how they look under the microscope 🥰) but this time it is made of glass, my new passion!

Fused glass art - my first try at making dichroic glass and fused glass cabochons

Learning new skills by trying out glass fusing for the first time 🥰 4 of the fused glass cabochons have different dichroic glass pieces and the lime green and turquoise blue one is made entirely of transparent glass. I think I can see some silver jewelry pieces with them in the future. Here are the finished cabs.

 and here is what the cut glass looked like before the kiln...

Ituralde - Apatite Peridot earrings in sterling silver. Handmade boho chic jewelry by Arctida

I just wanted to show you my latest custom order. The customer wanted her own version of my *Ituralde* earrings, the same color palette but slightly different design so what they won't be an exact copy. She gave me completely free hands and here is what I came up with :)

The new *Ituralde* features lime green Peridots and 2 shades of teal and turquoise blue Apatites wire wrapped in sterling silver.

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

Maja - Art Nouveau Antiqued sterling silver earrings - Apatite, Peridot, Prasiolite and sky blue Topaz - "Spring" challenge

Last week’s theme was - Spring, picked by Palepink.

So here is my vision of Spring in Apatite, Peridot, Prasiolite, sky blue Topaz and Silver - Maja earrings. The name comes from Maja, who is the Oscan Earth-Goddess, and an ancient Roman Goddess of springtime, warmth, and increase. She causes the plants to grow through Her gentle heat, and the month of May is probably named for Her.
