Arrábida

Near Lisbon, there is one beautiful place that I love so much – Serra da Arrábida. It’s about 500 meters high mountain chain with Atlantic Ocean on its feet…

In this bracelet I’ve used copper and aged copper color – these colors remind me the sierra in summertime when the Sun is burned almost all greenback. Swarovski crystals in Aquamarine and Blue Zircon show sparkles of the ocean what you can see when you are almost on the top of the mountain. I’ve used lovely maroon glass pearls too; they touch with warmness and glamour against the copper base. The bracelet has two different size chains - all charms are hand-wrapped onto smallest one and I’ve finished it with an aged copper tone toggle clasp.

This one is sold, but if you'd like similar just let me know!

Have a great week...:)

First Date

This bracelet is sooooo romantic!!! I took many pictures, but... it's impossible to see all beauty. The colors are so soft and clear, the large cream Lucite roses have delicate sheen...  I tried to make my best, but as I'm not professional photographer I can't show to you the actual magic of the bracelet.

Here I'm used four handmade by me Creamy Rosebuds with soft green calyx leaves and sweet Olivine Green Roses (Fimo polymer clay); five large delicate sheen translucent Lucite Roses; stunning off-white Natural Shell beads; pink Czech frosted glass heart shape beads; Light Pink glass Pearls; Peridot Green Czech pressed glass Daisies; Swarovski Crystal roundels in Light Rose and Black Diamond; Light Rose Swarovski bicones; absolutely gorgeous Czech glass Picasso Beads. All charms are attached on the Sterling Silver filled Chain and finished off the Karen Hill Tribe Sterling Silver S-clasp.

When I keep it on my hands and look on it, it's like to see a hopeful dream about The First Date... Romantic love, everything seems so pink and clear, some green accents like a symbol of the beginning... Oh, what a heavenly feeling!

La Passion

"Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite..."

"...Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows -- then let your heart say in silence, "God rests in reason."

And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky -- then let your heart say in awe, "God moves in passion."

And since you are a breath in God's sphere, and a leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion".

/Khalil Gibran/

On the mine battlefield most of the time the winner is... passion...
What about you? :)

Vintage Breath

Vintage... The values of past we bring here.

This Vintage inspired piece was a gift for my dear sister. As I remember, she always was excited about everything is golden, shiny, sparkly and eye catching.

I created it with necklace extender, so it's like 2 in 1, can wear like a bracelet or necklace. The center piece is a handmade polymer clay Cameo featured with a beautiful Antique Brass setting and a little Swarovski bicone. There you can find large Vintage faceted acrylic rounds in two different tones, Amber Lampwork beads, Crackle Olivine Czech glass beads, Czech glass fire polished bicones, Chocolate Czech glass druk beads, Purple glass Pearls, some Mauve freshwater Pearls, some natural Amethyst rounds and my favorites - Swarovskies:)
Another part of the story is about Charms... There are many Key charms. The meaning why I use them is that during our life all of us meet doors we can unlock - education, family, carrier, self-actualization etc. Everybody has The Key of his special Door, but sometimes we forget the place where we keep the Key... And then is wonderful if someone reminds it!
Also I attached a Heart pendant and an Amour angel - symbols of Love. There is Playing Card charm, too. That's symbolize a passion part of us...
This piece is very feminine, the Crown charm, two Fan charms and Eiffel Tower charm (is there a women who doesn't love Paris?).

Have a Great Day!!!

The Dreams Collection

When I was a little girl I had a book called "Colour Dreams". It was very nice to read cute stories about many colors - red, white, pink, green, blue, grey, black etc. The years past and now I'm not a young girl anymore and I'm trying to write my own Stories of Colours...


The first piece of my The Dreams Collection is Lilac, Victorian Style Hand Sculpted Floral Charm Bracelet.

I've created it from my hand sculpted polymer clay (Fimo - classic, soft, effect) beads, attached richly detailed Victorian brass stampings - circle pendant topped up with a handmade Millefiori cabochon and charm with Czech matte glass heart.

In this bracelet I've used Swarovski crystals; glass pearls and leaves; raw and aged brass findings.

It's finished off the handmade gold plated Victorian filigree stamping , Fimo polymer clay daisy clasp and adorable heart shape charm "I love you. Forever".

Isn't it beautiful? :)

Another bracelet I'd like to introduce you is Beige Dreams.

Filigree, sparkly, feminine, rich and elegant. I love it!

Actually the picture doesn't show all the beauty of the piece. Picture never shows to you lightweight of the bracelet, frisky shine on the beads and that special feeling when a piece touches your skin...

There are my handmade polymer clay roses in two different tones, marble fantasy flowers and marble round beads in this bracelet. Three oversized translucent lucite flowers are topped up with Swarovski roundels, also I've used plenty of Swarovski crystals in different sizes and shapes.

Foure large Vintage acryl rounds are lightweight and give a nice sparkle to the bracelet. You can find there pleanty of Swarovski glass pearls and Freshwater pearls, too.

The charms are attached on the Sterling Silver filled chain and it's finished of the Sterling Silver heart shape toggle clasp.

Thanks and have a nice weekend!
