One-of-a-Kind Keshi Pearl Earrings in Sterling Silver with Pink Freshwater Pearls & CZ

These one-of-a-kind earrings are handcrafted in sterling silver and feature luminous white Keshi pearls paired with soft pink freshwater pearls and blush pink cubic zirconia. The design balances organic texture with subtle structure, allowing each element to move naturally.

Keshi pearls are entirely unique, formed without a nucleus, they develop in free, irregular shapes made of layered nacre. This gives them their distinctive luster and soft, sculptural quality, making every pair impossible to replicate.

The gentle contrast between the irregular white Keshi pearls and the blush tones of the pink pearls and CZ creates a refined yet expressive composition, highlighting the beauty of natural variation in handmade jewelry.

14K Solid gold jewelry Golden Rutilated Quartz necklace wire wrapped in 14K gold. Handmade Luxury collection by Arctida.

One of my most favorite semiprecious gemstones is Golden Rutilated Quartz. I love how simplicity of Quartz combines with extravagance of gold. The golden rutiles are not the actual gold but a mineral Rutile (composed of Titanium dioxide often with iron, occasionally with some minor niobium or tantalum) but nevertheless they look like real gold needles. I purchase a lot of Golden Rutilated Quartz for my jewelry and I have different sizes and shapes in my studio and off course the best and most unusual ones I use for my solid gold jewelry *Luxury collection*.

So here is my latest beauty - Golden Rutilated Quartz necklace in 14K solid gold. It is made of one huge Golden Rutilated Quartz smooth briolette drop 18x12 mm and faceted Rock Crystal Clear Quartz round bead.

It has been a while since I wrote anything on my blog. I’ve got a new job in August and it has taken me some time to adjust to my new everyday schedule. But Christmas is approaching so it is time to list all my new creations :)

The first one is a part of my Solid gold jewelry *Luxury collection* 14K solid gold earrings with Rock Crystal Clear Quartz gemstones. The pretty Crystal Clear Quartz briolettes look like tiny pieces of ice and they give tons of bling bling when the light hits them. Perhaps something for a winter bride? :)

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.

Bianca - Bridal earrings, white Keshi pearls Rock Crystal Clear Quartz in sterling silver. Handmade wedding jewelry by Arctida

So the final month of the winter is here. It is cold, snowy and icy outside and as I probably mentioned before I do tend to get my inspiration by present season, like most other artist I guess :) So what can all that shimmering snow and sparkly ice inspire you say, well bridal jewelry off course! :)

So here are my latest bridal earrings featuring Rock Crystal Clear Quartz and white Keshi pearls in sterling silver. The tiny shiny balls inside the Keishi pearls are handmade by me of Argentium sterling silver.

Oh and another thing, I have finally gathered some courage and modeled my own jewelry for the first time :) The model on the last picture here is me! What do you think?

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 :)

Aurora - Gemstone necklace with Citrine, Cognac Quartz, Garnet, golden Rutilated Quartz and Mystic Rose Quartz. Handmade jewelry by Arctida

I love all seasons of the year. I usually try to ignore the bad parts and concentrate on the positive sides because each of them has its own charm. For instance even thought its getting really cold and wet outside, the colors of Autumn continue to amaze and inspire me. So here is yet another gemstone necklace inspired by autumnal color palette. Only best, premium grade and hard to find gemstones were used in creating this decadent statement necklace. Rich shades of berry red, cognac, yellow and dusky pink mix exquisitely with the gold of the wirework and will make any girl feel like a real live Goddess every time she wears it :)

Alanna - Emerald jewelry. Emerald and Golden Rutilated Quartz earrings wire wrapped in 14K gold filled. Handmade jewelry by Arctida

As I mentioned in one of my latest post, the cold and Autumnal colors are dominating now outside, after all I do live in Northern Europe :) So in order to remember the warmth of the summer and the pretty greens, here is another pair of pretty jewelry in bright emerald green and golden yellows. And this time I used genuine Emerald rondelles and sparkling Golden Rutilated Quartz briolettes.
