school ball ring

For my school ball (swedish prom) I asked my father for a big chunky ring, with a cool edgyness to it.. Anyhow he gave me the ring above and good lord how I hated it! In my eyes it was sooo ugly ha ha, I still don't like it but I don't feel the same discontentment.. I returned it to him- first chance I got, with a very Big complaint.. what a brat I was -.-

Now  when I come to think about it I totally think he should have given me something like the one down here... yum yum..

 (Fifteen- year -old me would have love it too)

mistah damaskos' bangle

I think I could kill for this bangle, I really do.. look out Mistah Damaskos! Look at the details on this thing! True handicraft. One day I hope to make  something like this myself... hehe

(uhh well okay.. I'm not really a violent person so don't ya worry Mistah Damaskos)

nofav

I could not push myself to picking one, so I narrowed it down to these three, whats not to love huh? So beautiful. And nomatter what style you may have these go with everything I think, maybe even true fashionistas could wear these.. haha

Anyway I decided to make one post each day this week with crosses from the Evangelatos collection. There are just too many choices, I would dishonour too many beautiful designs otherwise. Lol.

i found my new obsession!!!

Follow this link and you will understand! Having a real hard time finding my favourite... will do a post later about that....

out of the closet#2

I've been gone for a while, sorry about that. But I've returned as usual ;)

Found these bracelets in an old jewellery box... I believe I made them when I was twelve and I used them a lot, especially the one in the middle in the pic below and the heart above. Was not too skilled back then ha ha.

Speaking of diamonds in the previous post, here, I give to you the one and only Grace Jones eating diamonds.. Gotta Love.

true story - diamonds are forever

True story...

Shirley Bassey's Bond Theme Song.. Love.

Diamonds are forever, 

They are all I need to please me, 

They can stimulate and tease me, 

They won't leave in the night, 

I've no fear that they might desert me. 

Diamonds are forever, 

Hold one up and then caress it, 

Touch it, stroke it and undress it, 

I can see every part, 

Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me. 

I don't need love, 

For what good will love do me? 

Diamonds never lie to me, 

For when love's gone, 

They'll luster on. 

Diamonds are forever, 

Sparkling round my little finger. 

Unlike men, the diamonds linger; 

Men are mere mortals who 

Are not worth going to your grave for. 

I don't need love, 

For what good will love do me? 

Diamonds never lie to me, 

For when love's gone, 

They'll luster on. 

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever. 

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever. 

Forever and ever.

lost things..

A while ago I found these earrings that I thought lost, I never wore them.. they made me look old. Lol. They still do, but I treasure them dearly, that deep unsettling blue colour..

diamonds- carat

The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. The word carat originated from the carob tree. This might sound rather weird but  they tiny seeds  of this tree are known for their uniformity and consistent weight. Therefore all gemstones were weighed against these seeds till the system was standardized... 

 Though carat is often confused with the size of the diamond it is a measure of weight.As the carat weight of a diamond increases so does its rarity and therefore its price...

One carat is divided into 100 points - a diamond of 75 points weights .75 carats. The carat-weight of a diamond is the easiest measurement to determine. Most importantly, two diamonds can be of equal carat-weight, but their value can differ greatly due to their cut, color, and clarity. 

More about diamonds? Don't forget this post!

do you remember?

I have shown you this ring by Damaskos before, it was some good six months ago.. I think? I still haven't managed to get over its beauty. Amazing.

duh blogger sucks

This past week blogger has had some issues and I have not been able to access my account, hence no new posts. But now it seems that they solved their problems and we are back on track!

<3

my very first design!!!!

I made the drawing of this pendant when I was about five or maybe six years old and I remember how I asked my father to make the oval rounder since I could not.. which he of course did not... no matter I love it still, even more now that I am older.

So Athenas Treasures had a treasure hunt going and if you look at their fbpage you will find this photo with the description below. I found it kinda funny.. heh but maybe thats just me.. (for those of you that are not in the know, heres a hint: there are loads of antique greek jewellery in museums all over the world....)

Hidden Hint:

Pete: Gregoris, is it OK if I throw this into the sand and salt water?

Gregoris: It's OK, it's real Greek jewelry - if it's buried for a few thousands years 

it should be OK ... after that - I don't know!

My earring- dreams right now. Fell in love with these some months ago when I found them in my fathers workshop.. I don't think they sold them yet...
