Recently I was asked to make a rosary for one nun. It was a challenge for me but finally I managed to do that and the result you can see in the picture. I really appreciate that there is some people in this world who can do lovely things and share theirs' experience with others. One of these person is Iza Malczyk and her lovely tutorials...

New pendant is ready :) and I really love it. It's not the real gold but still looks wonderful. The beads I used here anre not semi-precius stones but glass beads. Very slender and... handmade :).
The heart measures 3,5 cm x 4,5 cm. The chain is 60 cm long.



I must admit that this is not work to make such things but just a pleasure :) hope that each of you has his passions :) Enjoy.

Seems that flowers are my favorite topic...teardrop earrings made of oxidized sterling silver wire. I added some garnets and citrines :) and they formed very nice flowers which I really like and my friends too :).

The second earrings were inspired by some projects of Magdalena Borejko. It is someting different because I usually don't use blue stones but this time I did. I formed an ornament which was decorated with blue agates...you can see the result below:

Soon in my shop...

It's high time I showed something really extra...it is not my new project but I modified. These are button earrings with a post just in the middle of the lower part of the earring.
They are made of sterling silver wire wrapped with a 28 gauge wire which is formed in a petal. Each of them is only 12mm long. I used some garnet and citrine stones to decorate the middle part the the flowers.
This project I made thank to one of Eni Oken's free tutorials, which she has on her website.
As you can see in the picture the silver is included :)

New earrings again:)...hope you like them. Two pairs made of sterling silver wire one of them is sculptured in a very original shape which reminds me Aztecs. I made it thank to Iza Malczyk's tutorial which I modify a bit :) as usual. The stones I used here are amethysts.
The second pair is cold "two halfs" because when you put them one next to another they form a heart :) and look really fabulous. The yellow stone here is a jade. Honestly both pairs looks better on th ear than in the picture.

Bridal earrings

Last week my friend got married and I was thinking about new earrings which could match to the bridal dress...this what I am presenting is the result of my last days work. Marquise shaped frames are decorated with sterling silver wrapped wire and few rock crystals which makes the earrings look fabulous :) really. I have never before thought about earrings with transparent stones but these look fantastic. And again you can see that I love flowers :). Still thinking about oxidizing them but I am not sure if there is any use for that ...

Yellow jade tear drop

These earrings I made of yellow jade and turquoise. They are so simple and funny on the other hand :). They match perfectly to jeans and everyday clothes. Even though are so simple believe me look great.

Sunday 1 June 2008

Today finally finished two new earrings :). I decided to make my new projects only with sterling silver components, which in my point of view makes it more elegance.
The first earrings are square shaped and done with sterling silver wire. Can you imagine that for these earrings I used over 2 meters of 26 gauge wire :) seems to be a lot but it is nothing in comparison with the brooch where I used over 10 meters of wire :).
These earrings are original because of the little sterling silver flowers in the corners. I just have realized that I really love flowers :)...


The second earrings are made of 20 and 26 gauge of sterling silver wire and are decorated with semi-precious stones like purple jade and citrine. They measure 1,4" with the earring wire. Both pairs of earrings were oxidized and polished.

For the last few weeks I have been waiting for new components which I finally received on Thursday...absolutely brilliant. At the moment I am about to finish some new stuff...can't wait to show it :)

Butterfly brooch

This time I am presenting you brooch which I did some time ago for my mother. That was really hard piece because the frame I sculptured by myself from one quite long piece of wrapped wire. Really a lot of work but I like the effect...:)

Another finished set...

Yesterday was little bit hardworking for me but I managed to finished this marvelous necklace which is already reserved for Karolina.
The set is made of different gauge gold plated wire and glass beads. To make the earrings and necklace I used flower formation by Lisa Claxton. Thanks to these lovely flowers the set is really gorgeous and looks fantastic when you wear it :)

my sister's wedding set

Lately made to create jewelry for my sister's wedding I was trying to invent sth new...original :). Than I thought about making little flower from the 26 gauge gold plated wire and few head pins. You can watch the result below :) Very hardworking piece but really worthy the effort. For the bracelet I made a hook which closes it under the flower so that it is also decorative motive.
Materials which I used for that, instead of wire and pins, was citrine, vanilla pearls and some seed beads.

This necklace I did for the second day of my wedding...I really love it together with earrings which were inspired my Magdalena Borejko, whose work I admire :)






The necklace together with the earrings is made with different gauge of silver wire and dark blue glass beads which match perfectly to my dress :)
It is funny because usually I do not wear jewelry made by myself :) but this one I love...:)

I am just starting to share my jewelry with others...till today creating it only for friends and myself finally decided to open a shop on etsy and start blogging here, which made me really satisfied.
