Cute & Colorful - Jewelry for girls

Recently I've had a lot of fun creating pieces which are not artistic but colorful and kawaii. Creating jewelry for young girls is joyful, but I have to control the cost to make the price affordable for them.
1. Black rutilated quartz
2. Green fluorite briolette

3. Argentina Red Rhodochrosite

4. Pink jade


5. Pink amethyst

I made one design for several different necklace in order to decrease the cost. Now still not sure it works or not, let's wait and see....

Back to theme challenge - Affair of the Hearts

Because I made January's theme half year ago, I jumped directly to February's theme 'Affair of the Hearts'. Nothing new for making a heart shape pendant, but it is a quite fresh design for me. Recently I cannot remember I've created anything else except crocheted flowers.

The pendant is 3.7cm long 3.5cm wide. The center part is waved with super gorgeous AAA grade red garnet faceted rondelles. Then surrounded it with coiled sterling silver curls. The red garnet briolette hanging beside the heart is 8mm*6mm. Chain is adjustable from 16"(41cm) to 18"(46cm).

I love larimar

Two stones are extremely popular in Japan, one is Rhodochrosite, which is believed has the ability to bring "love" to the person who wear it; the other is larimar, been regarded as one powerful healing stone.

I bided this larimar cab from ebay. In this bracelet, the wrapped larimar also works as clasp.

This larimar I bought it ready with silver wire wrapped from Etsy. Above the larimar is sky blue topaz heart shape briolette. The chain is wrapped with semi-transparent aquamarine ovals. I love this necklace, full with beautiful blue stones.

No doubt this is my favourite. a super stunning round larimar cab with my signature wire wrapping. I wish I could find a larimar as beautiful as this one for myself.
