Argentium sterling silver landscape pendant chain necklace for women

One of my pieces where I applied mixed metals techniques. This sterling silver pendant necklace was inspired by the Northern Scandinavia winter landscapes. The pendant was composed from a hand sketch and made of different type of recycled silver. The base plate, all fine details, the moon and the trees are composed of Argentium sterling silver 935 and snow hills are made of fine silver 999. The pendant is attached to long and heavy sterling silver 925 chain. The chain is handmade by me as well.

Red jewelry set Enameled jewelry necklace earring set painted abstract swirls - Liquid Lava

I wanted to show you my first try at enameling on copper. It is just as fun as enameling on silver but because copper is cheaper than silver I can experiment more freely.

I used Sgraffito technique with contrasting red, black and white enamels and the end result reminded me of the Lava flows hence the name of the set :)

Cloisonné Enamel fine silver blue green Mosaic pendant. Handmade enameled jewelry by Arctida.

I've been wanting to try enameling for a some time now and so when the opportunity arose I had to take it! I've chosen Cloisonné enamel technique for my first pendant but more pieces with other  enamel techniques are on the way :)

Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects by fusing glass onto metal. It is a very specific and time consuming process but the end result can be spectacular and the colors will not fade because the material is glass.

For this piece I first made a patterned fine silver pendant, added fine silver cells (cloisons in French), filled them with different shades of blue greens enamels, made a number of successive firings to establish color control and hand polished the pendant to a glossy finish.

Frost Ring - Tree Bark Ring handcarved textured sterling silver 960 and Cubic zirconia. Handmade metal clay jewelry by Arctida.

It is winter already in Northern Sweden, so its not surprisingly that my latest inspiration comes from frost covered tree branches. This time I've chosen to add a bit of bling bling, a round brilliant-cut Cubic zirconia that sparkles the same way frost does when the light hits it just right :) The ring is hand-carved from Precious Metal Clay Sterling 960.

A lot has happened since January, the time of my last blog-post. We've moved to another town called Luleå. It has been a huge change in our lives moving from central Stockholm apartment to countryside house in the Northern Sweden :) My new garden, nearby forest, the sea and Northern Nature in general has inevitably influenced my new designs... in my new house I have a new studio so stay tuned as more of my lovelies are on the way :)

Here is the first one - hand carved Tree bark open ring made of sterling silver (Precious Metal Clay Sterling 960).
