LUNA earrings

It's been awhile since I made jewelry. But these beautiful hemimorphite briolettes were too perfect for spending their days in the darkness of my gem supply box. Simple design, clean modern lines. Though the color play withing the gems looks more like carribean seashore, they remind me of moonshine. LUNA stands for "moon" in Russian. Available now in whyzee shop.

Follow Your Heart

I loved to draw when I was a kid, though my parents never supported my humble attempts. They made me take dance lessons instead. They meant well, but dancing only made me doubt my artistic talent. I was really bad at it! I never believed that artistry can be taught. People are either born with an easel in their hand or they are not, right? Wrong! 

I follow Garance Dore blog religiously. Apart from showing how to live life to the fullest, she has inspired me to learn how to draw.

Peacocks and Paisley

I have been going through some "Blast from the Past" pictures recently and came across this picture of a peacock. I took in during one of many trips I made with my friend while I lived in Germany.

Schwetzingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

 We went to the Schwetzingen Castle and after cruising for some time amidst the luscious English style gardens, we took a peek at the backyard. Aren't the most fascinating things happening there? We saw two gorgeous peacocks. I have no idea what business they had roaming around in the autumnal cold, but I was lucky enough to capture one of them on film. I'm sure you know the familiar paisley-eye pattern, which this picture reminded me of.

Ivan Ellis has graciously allowed me to use this gorgeous photo.

So much creative inspiration could be drawn from the peacock image, but I decided to focus on the form this time, rather than color. I made these peacock earrings from oxidized sterling silver and 14K gold-filled wire. Hours of experimentation and meticulous work and here are the results. I hope you like them!

Room for Improvement

This necklace was inspired by the famous quote:
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
To achieve success, all you need is to strive to be the best you could be and never rest on your laurels. This delicate charm necklace is a silent reminder of your individual potential.

Lucky Clover

New addition to Whyzee collection - Lucky Clover charm bracelet!

The four-leaf clover is an uncommon variation of the common,

three-leaved clover. 

According to tradition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders, 

especially if found accidentally, which you did, right? 

 

According to legend, each leaf represents something: 

the first is for hope, 

the second is for faith, 

the third is for love, 

and the fourth is for luck.

Hopefully, you are having a lucky day!
