I truly love this piece mostly because of the style of it. This Asian Gemstone Pendant reminds me of ancient Chinese or Japanese stories and tales which teach you that balance and equilibrium and wisdom is something meaningful and important. Always. No matter when or where you are. In our modern society filled with rush and immediacy we tend to forget about those values. This piece speaks about tradition and peace of mind in beautiful Asian art style.

It reminds of the TV show I'm watching lately. I know it's a little bit silly but still, there is this character, teacher, a wise men.  He possesses a mixture of balance and wisdom, but with a big amount of distance to the world which surround him (which is far from perfection). When I look at this piece, I think about this fictional character. It's not real, I am fully aware of it but still, it reminds me that those values are not to be forgotten. That they are maybe not crucial but still, so important for having a good life.

Upcycled Jewelry

It all started with being more eco-friendly. With trying to take care of my surrounding. With reusing what I can, with not throwing away things which I just didn't like anymore.

And then, the idea of upcycled jewelry came to my mind. There are so many pieces, old treasures, unused and unwanted jewelry, sometimes broken, sometimes just not loved. I wanted to give this pieces second live. Make them wanted again. So I started from working with old pieces which I could find at home, then I tried to find some online... and the whole series was born.

This necklace is one of the first of whole series of "unloved" jewelry. I try to keep all the pieces low cost, because for me, in this series it's all about finding those unwanted pieces a new home:)

This piece was created from broken retro style pendant. I am not quite sure from what material the drop was created. It looks like alloy or kind of acrylic drop but with most adorable moonlight glow:)

I added to it copper top and simple chain to create vintage style look.

black is back

This black earrings are bold and big. Unique. They where inspired not only by gothic style art, but black tones which we can find in Nature. I think that all black stones are the most intriguing one. Beauty of the black pearls or black diamonds is the beauty which can master your soul and mind. I think this kind of stones and beads can shine even in dark. And remember, that black not always means darkness or grieve. For me it's the colour of power and strength. It is the tone of uniqueness... In this gothic style chandelier earrings I used not only black stones, but the red one too. What else can match more perfectly to this colour than tinges of love, blood and vitality...?

The first version of this earrings was without red beads and black drops. I wish I could find some old photos of the first version, but I think they are lost forever in archives of my computer. 

Elvish Night Ring

This listing is for Blue Kyanite Ring which I called Elvish Night Ring. This piece was inspired by night atmosphere...

There is something magical in night time. Something mysterious and dangerous. Excited. In the daylight you can see everything crystal clear, but night hides secrets. It's ambiguous. We all are a little bit afraid of it, because of its solitude, because of its nature. In daylight we all have our daily chores, our ordinary problems, but night makes us think about things more profound and meaningful. We all are afraid of dark in some way, but in the same it is so bewitching...

This ring was inspired by night, and I hope you will see in this kyanite ring at least the tinge of the Night's Power:)

A funny thing...

A funny thing. I created this necklace like ages ago, and since some time I've wanted to make something similar, but I don't have time. I don't have little green beads. I don't have well, everything I need to make it. (to be honest I am perfectly capable to recreate this little necklace, I have everything I need). I make excuses to everything and I wonder every time why I do it. Why I just don't do what I want. Why I just wont create what I have in mind... I don't know answer for it as I don't know answers for many other questions which arose lately around me. I guess it's one of the reasons why I've started to run a blog again. Anyhow, apparently it's good to start from little things. So I will try. To solve the mysteries of my own minds. Stop. This is a big thing... Why around me I can find only big things to think about?

Small things...

Well...

I will do the dished at once, and not put them to the sink to give them some time...
