Day of the Dead necklace with Amethyst

With all things happening lately, I find myself charmed by skulls a lot... To entertain my fears and feel better, I turned to the Day of the Dead holiday, because I think it illustrates the idea of death and rebirth so wonderfully... Inspired by this idea of death and rebirth, I created a necklace with a white flower and an amethyst bead...

Also, the skull is genuine carved ox bone, so the whole design feels very natural and organic. I love it!

Glamour Earrings for the Holiday Season

I found a few vintage chandelier octagon prisms and grabbed them! This is the first pair of earrings I made, and I was listening to Loreena McKennitt's winter garden while I was making them, so it seemed only natural to include the cd cover in my photos...

They have an incredible sparkle, which was very hard to capture with my camera, but hopefully those pomegranates on the cover will make them more visible to you. Here they are:

And here is the song. Enjoy!

Oh, and I'm also glad that the weather today is different, we had 9 degrees Centigrade in the morning when I woke up. Cool!

Day of the Dead Necklace

The idea to have a Day of the Dead fascinates me. So I decided to make a necklace for this holiday (celebrated on November 2), which of course can be worn all year round.

Here it is, made with a wooden skull and a red coral bead, along with a white plastic flower and a couple of seed beads, mounted on golden brass chain. It really is very elegant!

Enjoy this wonderful piece, only one was made!

Recycling Nautical

Fashion recycles. Everyone knows that. And so did I, to make this nautical necklace.






The thing is though, I didn't make it because it would be fashionable. I made it because I was inspired by the vintage anchor buttons I found at a closing store sale. Only two in the entire store! I kept thinking about what I could make with them for several months, before the idea about the design just occurred to me the other day.






This is the result, one of the must-have pieces in your wardrobe that will see you through all this nautical trend -but above all, a piece that incorporates original vintage nautical elements that were made before you were even born...






And if you love nautical anyway, like I do, you are going to absolutely not want to take this necklace off! So, visit my shop now! Remember this piece is one of a kind -once it's gone, it's gone forever!
