friday night greetings
(The pretty pretty stones above are part of an extremely fabulous brooch.. comin soooon)
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..

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.

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.

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

snow white
A Fall/Winter piece I made a while ago. In the picture the stones are kinda yellowish but they are really white as snow inreality. Goes real fine with black and all yellow-brown-beigeish colours.
