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.

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!

weird

Model Bambi Northwood is very pretty. In this not-editorial, she is striking poses for Mania Mania Jewellery. It's completly gracious how little focus there is on the actual jewellery really, right? Graininess is the Word.

whoop

I'm sorry I realize that in the previous post I put the title, "happy easter", which really did not go with the sad Nancy Sinatra song (or the song wasn't too much of a go with the title) heh.. Anyways, just found this picture, pretty as ***l, the whole composition - I don't think I would like the necklace outside this picture... hmm..

GD 'loves' athenas treasures

Athenas Treasures is an Ebay store specializied in greek jewellery, (they have the most amazing pieces on display every day, all the time.. not so good for the avredge shopacholic though..). It's run by Pete and his wife (I don't remember her name, sry:/) and they have been running their store since 2004. If you have not visited them yet,  then do it now here!  I just found their youtube channel and they have posted some videos about the production process of handmade jewellery and videos such as the one above were they showcase a piece that isn't easily photographed. But the absolute best is this video below were they have filmed their dog Kounya, its just hilarious! That poor dog

Enamel Ring - Lemon Quartz

By Alice Cicolini

24k gold, lemon quartz (top), peridots around the edges, red and black enamel.

It will probably look more awesome when the enamel has worn off a little, it will make it more beautiful and more gracefull
