B o h e m i a n T e m p e r

I am creating a new collection "B o h e m i a n T e m p e r", with my new style necklaces/chokers, that really reflect my character, style and life. These two are just the begining, I think, I will make some of them, including bracelets and earrings too.
Enjoy! ;)


Copper wire squares necklaceThis piece was the first, that I created some months ago, or maybe almost a year ago. It was sold on my first etsy shop www.AstukeJewel.etsy.com.
Copper 2 mm wire, amazonite, glass seed beads.

B o h e m i a n
Copper 2mm wire, purple amethyst, beautiful sparkly pink garnet and rose quartz rondelles...
The inner size of the necklace is 12 cm (4 5/8"), of course, it will fit to any size, because you don't need to close it ;)
The pendant is 5.5x3.5 cm (2 1/8x1 3/8"), the chains - 7 cm (2 3/4").

N e f e r t a r i
Nefertari - means "The Most Beautiful" in Egyptian. This Was the Name of an Egyptian Queen of the New Kingdom, the Favourite Wife of Ramesses the Great.
These beautiful rondelle chain dangles give great Egyptian feeling to it...
Copper 2 mm wire, banded and wrapped with pink garnet, smoky quartz rondelles. On both sides there are chains, made of smoky quartz rondelles, that finish with pink garnet tiny rondelles.
The longest chain is 6.5 cm length (2.5"), the shortest - 3 cm (1 1/4").
The squares on both sides are 2x2.5 cm (1x3/4"). All necklace is adjustable.

Mad about....

... I am simply mad about boxes!
Well, I don't have much, just 4-5, but I understood that I cannot pass a sinlge box without taking it into hands, looking it, thinking what could I keep in it and for what it would serve to me :)
Here are my beautiful beauties :)

Bought it this saturday, in a market :) I liked the ornaments a lot! :)
This one - one week ago :) Couldn't pass through and that's all. It was so cheap! eheh :))
Oh, this one some weeks ago. Pewter box, made in Italy about II WW. It's a replica of some old boxes, actually, I don't remember well what seller said, he spoke difficult italian language that for me was not easy to understand :) as some of you may know, I am not italian :)
This box has a mark of rose, as I understood, it's a mark of Italian fabric that made these boxes.

Boxes together :)
Here I keep my gloves, little showls and scarfs :) Lovely designs and colors :)

At home in Lithuania I have some more boxes, as I go there, surely I will bring them here!!! hahah!! :D

Be a Temptress!




The "T e m p t r e s s" necklace took me really lots of time to make it. But I did enjoy so much making it! And I am very satisfied with what I got finally, color mix, wire swirls and shapes, clusters, all!!! It is great! ;)
The focal is filled with yellow orrange Citrine, green Peridot rondelles, up is decorated with a silver net, and sparkly briolette of Whiskey Quartz... Up on both sides you will find Smoky Quartz rondelles,and again, beautiful Whiskey Quartz briolettes. The bottom of the focal is filled with silver wire net, and Rose Quartz rondelles. The top of the bottom part I decorated with tiny sparkling green Peridot briolette... Just a little up there are three tiny Rose Quartz rondelles, decorating the part where two focal components were joined... Down there are simply gorgeous dangles of Peridot, Citrine, Smoky and Rose Quarts rondelles, hanged on the silver chain... The most bottom of all is adorned with briolettes of Whiskey Quartz... The chain is decorated with Rose Quartz tiny rondelles, and on the back there is a dangle of Whiskey Quartz briolette...The piece was oxidized to give it the feel of antique and romance...
All stones are the high quolity.
It is one of the most fascinating necklaces I have ever done before!
The design is one of a kind, trully unique!
Dimentions:
From left to right - 10 cm (little less than 4")
From top to bottom - 12 cm (4.5") with clusters
Chain - adjustable from 40 to 45 cm (about 15.5" to 18")
