Work in Progress

Pildiklõps käimasolevast tööst. Kasutusel must klaas koos kristallivärvi klaaskividega. Siit on tulemas kollektsioon, ehk siis plaanis mitu kaelakeed ja käeketti. Ja no kõrvarõnga ideid tuleb alati...
This is a snapshot of work in progress. I'm using black glass with crystal rhinestones. This is the beginning of a collection, so I'm planning to make many necklaces and bracelets. And there's always ideas for earrings...

Vintage Chandelier Parts

Siin on Tšehhist pärit klaasist komponendid lühtrile. Musta värvi. Plaan on kombineerida need mustade Prosser-helmestega Prantsusmaalt.

Here are some vintage chandelier parts from Czech. In black color. Idea is to combine these with black Prosser-beads from France.

Shopping Again...

Tüüpiline... kui pole aega ehteid teha, siis kompenseerin seda uute helmeste ostmisega... Siin on veel vintage klaashelmeid Prantsusmaalt.

It's typical... when I don't have time to make new jewellery I compensate it with buying more beads... Here are more vintage glass beads from France.

More Beads...

Tegin hiljuti ühe suurema ostu Prantsusmaalt. See on ülipõnev! Osa sellest on toodetud Bapterossesi Briare tehases - Emaux de Briare, kus valmistati muuhulgas Prosser-tehnikas helmeid. Siin on türkiisivärvi helmevihu jäänus, millel alles veel originaalne silt, kus on kirjas värvikood (3774), suurus (000) ja kunagine kogus (25 000tk). Helmed on lükitud linasele niidile. Veel on siin kaks karpi musti helmeid sildiga, millel kirjas värvikood (905), suurus (00) ja kogus (5000tk). Mis silma hakkab karbi puhul on see, et papp-karp on valmistatud palju õhemast materjalist, kui mu Tšehhi karbid. Need siin lagunevad ning neid ei ole võimalik avada ja sulgeda. Mõlemad helmevärvid on näha ka tehase helmekaardil. Mõlemad sildid on trükitud huvitavale paberile, millel on muster, mis vist kujutab linde?

I recently made a bigger purchase from France. It's super exiting! Some of these beads were made in famous Bapterosses's Briare factory - Emaux de Briare, that made Prosser-beads amongst others. Here is what's left of a bead hank, still with an original tag writings with the color code (3774), size (000) and original amount (250000pcs). Beads are strung on linen string. Two boxes of black beads, labeled with color code (305), size (00) and amount (5000pcs). It's noticeable that the French bead boxes aren't made of as strong cardboard as the Czech bead boxes. These boxes here are falling a part and cannot be opened and closed. Both bead colors are also on Emaux de Briare factory sample card. Both labels and tags are printed on same patterned paper perhaps picture birds?

Täpsemalt sellest, kuidas kupongi Etsy poes kasutada, saab lugeda siit. Siin pildil on aga minu kingitus :) Vanasti kasutati sellised klaaskupleid uhkete kullatud kelladel tolmu kaitseks. Antud juhul on tegu küll uue taastoodanguga, ent nagu juuresoleval pildil näha, siis on see suurepärane viis esitleda ehteid ja samas kaitsta neid tolmu eest.

Vintage Japan Seed Beads

Helmed rändavad. Selle seemnehelmeste vihu sain ma Tšehhi vintage helmeste müüjalt. Küljes on paberist ümmargune lipik "Hiroshima Glass Beads". See firma on asutatud aastal 1956.

Discovering Glass: Antique Sew-On Beads

Enne litreid kasutati rõivatööstuses selliseid klaasist kaunistusi. Klaasist kivike oli võimalikult õhuke ning augu või aukudega, et seda saaks riidele õmmelda. Pildil on 19.sajandi lõpust müügimehe näidiskaart, millel näidatud saadaval olevad suurused ja värvid. See kaart oli osa suuremast komplektist, millest osadel kaartidel oli käsitsi kirjutatud prantsuskeelne tekst. Lisaks on pilte klaaskivikestest, mis mul on õnnestunud hankida.
Kuna kõik uus on unustatud vana, siis on praegu üsna levinud akrüülist sarnased kaunistused ning samuti on kristallitootjad (sh Swarovski ja Preciosa) võtnud oma tootevalikusse kristallklaasist õmmeldavaid kaunistusi.

Before plastic sequins/paillettes garment industry used these kind of glass stones. They were as thin as possible with hole or holes for sewing. On the first photo there is a salesman sample card from the end of 19th century showing available colors and sizes. This card was part of a collection with some cards having handwritten French text on the back. Here's also some additional photos of glass stones that I managed to purchase.
Since there's nothing new under the sun, it is very common nowadays to see similar acrylic stones and also many crystal manufacturers (incl Swarovski and Preciosa) have crystal glass sew-on stones in their assortment.

Antique Prosser Beads in Red

Karp Prosser-tüüpi helmestega. Silt on küll kahjustunud, ent samasugustel teistel karpidel on tähed RB, No 00, Made in Czechoslovakia. RB peaks tähendama Floor Karspersi sõnul Riedlhammer Brothers, kes kasutas sellist silti aastatel 1918-1940.
Kasutasin neid helmeid näiteks selles kees.

A box of Prosser beads. The label is damaged but I have similar boxes and the label has letters RB, No 00, Made in Czechoslovakia. Letters RB should stand for Riedlhammer Brothers who according to Floor Kaspers these were made between 1918-1940.
I used these beads in this necklace too.

Bridal Post Earrings with Crystals and Pearls

Ma olen otsinud alternatiivi väikeste post-tüüpi kõrvarõngaste toorikutele, sest varasemate toorikute varu on peaaegu otsakorral ning juurde neid võimalik saada ei ole. Niimoodi tuli proovida uusi võimalusi ning üks katsetus on teie ees.

Õhulise filigraanse plaadiga toorikud on kaetud vintage Swarovski kristallide, klaaspärlite ning seemnehelmestega.Väikesed pidulikud kõrvarõngad on saadaval Etsys.

I've been looking for an alternative for post earring bases because the ones I used before are running out fast and cannot be re-order. So I needed to search new possibilities and one is presented here.

Earring bases with beautiful filigree plate are covered with vintage Swarovski crystals, glass pearls and seed beads. Small and pretty earrings are available on Etsy.

Purple Set

Valmis komplekt: pikk kee, pross, rippuvad kõrvarõngad, post-kõrvarõngad, mobiiliripats. Vähe sellest, et keed saab kanda nii kaelakee kui ka käeketina, saab siin palju omavahel kombineerida. Mobiiliripatsit saab lisada prossile või kaelakeele. Prossi omakorda kaelakeele. Kaelakeed saab kanda nii ühe- kui kahekordselt.

Finished set: long beaded chain, dangle earrings, post earrings, brooch, cell phone charm. This beaded chain can be worn as necklace or wrapped bracelet and there's so much more that can be combined. Cell phone charm can be added to the brooch or necklace. Brooch can be added also to the necklace. Necklace can be worn as double or single row.
