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.

Hoop Earrings

I've concentrated in creating intricate pieces recently. Yesterday I made these two pairs of simple style hoop earrings. They look VERY beautiful in person.

The first pair is red garnet. I love those red gems, so rich in color. They look perfectly together with gold filled.

The second pair is with violet amethyst, peacock pearl, tanzanite and iolite. I just love the combination of violet & navy blue.



Those peacock pearls make the earrings look a little bit "naughty". Definitely I should make one more pair for myself : )

Gonna to make more simple style earrings soon....

Old Design - Amethyst Iolite Gold Filled Wire Wrapped Necklace

Now this kind of "Free form swirl wrapping" has become one of my signature design. This pendant is created about 1 year ago when I just started selling my jewelry on-line. The center stone is a beautiful deep purple Zambia amethyst briolette. Frame is wrapped with gold filled wire, decorated with small iolite faceted rondelles.
