Spring Colour Series I - Turquoise

The inspiration is from the Spring-Summer designer collections. I'm really exited about this colour as it's one of my favourites!

You can find different shades of it in different stones - Turquoise, Chrysoprase, Chalcedony, Aquamarine ... mix and match different shades for a great look, layer them to add more colour & add them to your LBD or work outfit for a splash of colour!

Straining fingers

In the last few days I got to thinking that I somewhat was avoiding doing the kind of earrings I just adore, mainly because these types of design require sacrificing your fingers and your eyes and a lifetime of hours. Well, I took a plunge and for a few days straight disciplined myself enough to sit down and get some of them done.
Each silver part is handcrafted, put together, wired together, oxidized etc by my own hands. Terribly time consuming, especially with all those tiny 2mm-can-hardly-see-them-going-blind beads. No nails left after all that metal-working, but I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Here they are:
PS. I must have enjoyed doing them - I'm working on similarly complex designs in gold now :)
