lucien falize

One of my favourite pendants of all time by the pendant master, Lucien Falize. Saw this pendant for the first time when I was a kid and I am still in love with it..

This site says that the purple stone in the centre of the piece  is a sapphire, however I have a book that disagrees with that saying that its an amethyst... My guess would be amethyst too but I can not be sure since I havent seen it irl. Does anyone know what kind of stone it is?

gem of the day #1

Tanzanite

Was discovered at the Mererani mines of Tanzania in 1967.

In nature it occurs in quite a few colours, but most are heat treated to attain a beautiful violet blue colour, which is the colour that attracted interest in this gem when it was discovered. Although it is of adequate hardness, it is however somewhat fragile and ultra- sonic cleaning should be avoided!

Tanzanite is strongly dichroic, meaning it shows red-violet and deep blue depending on the direction viewed. It has been marketed quite fiercely; cheaper – pale colours are often sold on various TV shop channels. Conversely, supplies of actual good quality material are dwindling.

thirty six ten..

I can't do anything but love this.

 Four months ago I came across a blog called thirty six ten, the woman behind it is the designer of all these gorgeous creations. Folkloric love but still very modern..  

Love it. 

No.

 More like adore it... oww..

chaplet. wreath. garland. whatever

As promised my flower wreaths! Well two of them at least. I like wearing them in the summer instead of necklaces.. I strongly dislike wearing necklaces when its hot out... wehh. So a flower wreath is the perfect supplement.
