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.

The fifth Christmas in Japan

Got one delayed EMS delivery to the U.S and two non-payment buyers today. I haven't had any troubles in delivery and haven't met non-payment buyer before. All those came to me today! But things are not that bad. I had a great meal with my lovely hubby and got some new ideas in making jewelry.
Recently made several designs with crochet. I used 30 ga sterling silver wire in these hoop earrings.

I wonder where I can find silver wire thinner than 30 ga. I want softer and thinner wire for crocheting. I hardly create crocheted pieces in gold filled simply because I couldn'f find gold filled wire thinner than 28ga.

Here is one necklace. With the new way for crocheting a leaf.

Purple+Blue+Pink is one of my favourite color combination. Those lovely rondelles are amethyst, iolite, tanzanite and aquamarine. And the pale yellow color lemon quartz briolettes fits perfectly in this design.

Multi Gem Clustering Waterfall Sterling Silver Necklace

This is a very unique design from all my necklaces. I started to make it without having a clue what I was going to create. I just put many gems together and picked the pale color ones which look good in combination.

I firstly made one "equilateral triangle" shape frame with high gauge sterling silver wire. Then adding nuggets and ovals I picked. After that wrapped some smaller nuggets to form the chain and hung the briolettes to the triangle frame.

In this necklace I used Aquamarine, Green Amethyst, Violet Amethyst, Ametrine, Sky Blue Topaz, Pink Amethyst, Rock Crystal and Smoky Quartz. I love the pale colors of this necklace. It would be perfect for wearing in very very hot summer.
