Electra - Contemporary organic Labradorite hoops earrings in oxidized sterling silver. Handmade Jewelry by Arctida

Last week EST challenge's theme was "Stripes" hosted by Staroftheeast.

I decided to explore further my Nivi earrings design by adding some gemstone beads and creating visual effect of stripes. I think it came out pretty stripy, what ya think? :)

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


I love the way Labradorite beads flash with that intense Electric blue fire so I decided to name my new earrings - Electra :)

Alina - Natural Intense Electric Cerulean Blue Fire Flash Labradorite and Antiqued Silver Wire Wrapped earrings

When I started making gemstone jewelry my favorite shape of the gems was micro-faceted drop shaped briolettes. I still like them but now days it seems that I’m only buying smooth polished briolettes of different colored gemstones. I love the way their buttery surface catch the light with tons of sparkle. So here are my latest beauties: Alina - Intense electric cerulean blue fire flash Labradorite and oxidized sterling silver wire wrapped earrings.

And here are the rest of "Alina" series part of my "Minimalisme" collection

Craft your favorite quote! - weekly challenge

Last week’s theme was - Craft your favorite quote! …the craft doesn't have to include the actual quote, just be inspired by it...picked by DinDi.

I chose my favorite Albert Einstein's quote - "Two things are infinite: the Universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the Universe." :)

The quote gave me an idea to make a focal in the necklace shaped as an ancient "Infinity" symbol.
