Raindrops are falling...

Vihmastest ilmadest inspireerituna said valmis lihtsad ja pikad kõrvarõngad. Tegin need kiiruga, et oleks mindagi kõrva panna, midagi uut ;) Ning siis jäid need silma ühele inimesele, kes soovis samasuguseid. Tegin. Ja tegin veel punased ka.

Põhjus, miks need kõrvarõngad on hästi lihtsad, seisneb nende ehtekivide erilisuses. Minu jaoks siis... Need on 1950ndatest ja ma sain need originaal pakendites, millel olev kood annab alust arvata, et need jõudsid USA-s lattu aastal 1952! Ma sain just kristallivärvi ka ning ootan smaragtrohelist ning ametüsti värvi ka...
Sinised müügil Etsy's
Punased aga DaWandas

Inspired by the rainy days I made these long and simple earrings. I made them in a hurry because I needed something to wear, something new ;) And they were noticed so I was requested to remake them again. I did. And now I made red ones too.

The reason I kept these earrings very simple is that these rhinestones are special for me. These are from the 1950's and I have them in original packages, the stamped code on the envelope indicates that they might have reached the US warehouse in 1952! I just received them in Crystal color too, and waiting for Emerald and Amethyst...
Blue ones are on Etsy

Vintage Swarovski Pendant art. 43

Imeilusad kristallripatsid originaalpakendis :D Ripatsitel on lugematult peenikesi lihvitud tahke ning kui päiksekiir sellele peale paistab... Oh ja ah! Pakendil on õrnalt trükitud: 1/12 gross No 9x18mm Pendants Art 43 Crystal. Olen lugenud, et kolmekohalised artiklikoodid vahetati neljaste vastu 60ndate alguses. Ma ei tea, millal kahekohalised kasutusel olid, aga väita võib, et need on siis kuskil 50ndatest pärit. Nüüd on üks neist minu salaprojektis.

Beautiful crystal glass pendants in original package :D Pendants have many fine facets and if the sunlight hits it... Gorgeous! Package has printing: 1/12 gross No 9x18mm Pendants Art 43 Crystal. I've read that 3digit article codes were replaced by 4digits in the beginning of the 60's. Don't know when 2digits were used but I think this package could be from the 50's. One of these pendants is in my secret project.

The Yellow Sun & The Bright Blue Sky

Kaua mõtetes mõlkunud idee kasutada lükkimisel peenikest ketti nagu näha mõnedel vanadel ehetel sai nüüd teoks. Kett on vastupidavam ning ei tee vahet, kas helmestel on siledaks poleeritud või teravad augu servad.

Valmis sain juba mai alguses. See kaelakee on nagu suve taevas - särav päike ja helesinine taevas!

I finally made the idea of stringing on chain like seen on some antique jewelry happen. Chain is durable and it doesn't matter if the beads strung have sharp and unpolished hole edges.

I finished it in the beginning of May. This necklace is like a summer sky - shiny yellow sun and bright blue sky!
