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.

Mosaic necklace – OOAK Fluorite Garnet Moonstone Pearls Pink Amethyst and Tanzanite necklace in sterling silver. Purple gemstone necklace by Arctida.

Lately, I've been playing a lot with so called mosaic gemstone necklace designs. I've made my first one back in 2009 as a present for a friend and I just realized that I've never shown it here on my blog. So here comes the first one in my mosaic necklace series with purple, lilac and violet gemstones and pearls in sterling silver.

 

If you are interested of ordering a mosaic necklace designed just for you, feel free to contact me :)

Violante - Amethyst and Pearls asymmetric lariat necklace in Sterling Silver. Handmade boho chic jewelry by Arctida.

Here comes another custom order necklace. This time it was a variation of my *Violante* necklace but the customer wanted to use her own gray colored pearls instead of peach ones. I've used sturdier chain because the main Pink Amethyst is bigger and there are more of the Amethyst rondelles and pearls in this version. I love the way grey pearls give an illusion of much *colder* shade of soft lilac in this variation even though I've used the same Amethysts as before.

Odaia - Fine silver jewelry Keshi pearl earrings. Handmade artisan jewelry by Arctida

As I mentioned earlier, lately I've been working a lot with PMC (Precious Metal Clay). I love working with PMC, it is such a versatile medium, there no limits of what you can do with it :) and it is mainly composed of recycled silver particles so it feels good to make something Eco-friendly. I have tons of projects in my head and in my sketchbook so I’ll be posting more pieces in the near future.

So here is my latest creation - Fine silver earrings with Keshi pearls (Keishi pearls).

  

Oh and on this picture you get a glimpse on the working process, this is the fine silver ovals during *production* :)

Amethyst - February’s Birthstone

Happy birthday to all of you born in February!

Did you know that in addition to being the official birthstone for February, amethyst is also the birthstone for the zodiac sign of Pisces and the gemstone for the 6th anniversary of marriage.
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, occurring naturally as crystals within rocks. It is the most valued member of the quartz family, considered a semiprecious gem for its violet color. Heating amethyst removes the color or changes it to the yellow of Citrine. Today, most Citrines is made in this way. The word amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning sober. 

A gift of amethyst is a symbol of protection, said to strengthen the bonds of love and overcome difficulty. It is also a symbol of spirituality and piety.

And for all of you February babies, I just had to make a simple yet stunning Amethyst :) So here is an addition to my *Alina* collection: Amethyst earrings and Amethyst necklace in 14K gold filled.

Domani - Amethyst and Peridot coiled artisan earrings in 14K Gold Filled

This week EST challenge's theme was "Morocco" hosted by creationsbyeve.

For this challenge I decided to revamp one of my older designs - Domani. It looks very ethnic but not quiet what I was looking for! And so I improved it and made it more bling-bling, more exotic and spicy, more glittering and shiny, simply more Moroccan :) and here is my new Moroccan version of Domani with Amethysts, Peridots and Gold filled.
