what i'm wearing

Even though  jewellery is one of my greatest loves (obsessions) and I own a few really nice pieces, I never get around to wear them.. I guess my place is in the smithy.. hehee

HOWEVER

Today I have a pendant like the one above around my neck.. with other colour settings though.. more green-blue-orange..

Not bad at all.

Speaking of Rings, like I did this weekend these silver and gold wire rings from Gerochristos Polemis collection are not too bad huh?

unfinished things

 This day will be devoted to all the things I never finish, such as the necklace above. I love bohemian necklaces with no special pattern, just a mix of colours and stones.

Own it. In the dark.

another hard days work

Been working since early this morning till now.. However I am very excited, I am going to Athens next week. "WIEEEEEE" Its my second home and I have missed it dearly. Love everything about it even all the crappy things.. I mean its Athens! Gotta love it all. Simple as that.

Boy am I sad that I missed this exibititon!

the night sucks

It seems things never go as I plan them, good things never happen without me sweating blood. Still that leaves space for work, which never bores me. Working on these earrings right now, my fingers are really sore =P

Can't wait to show you the final result!

this is how it's done

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

one of a kind

Evangelatos himself carves Pegasus on to these pendants, mind that their real size is only about 1,5 cm in diameter.
