White Cuff

Proovisin vahepeal vahetada metalli. Päris keeruline, kord pole üht vidinat seda õiget tooni, kord teist. Seetõttu tuli prossist hoopis käevõru :D See eelpainutatud traat on ikka paras jõuproovimiseks, õudne, kuidas hakkas vastu mulle ja tükk aega pusisin, et neid kõiki kolme õigesti saada.
Tulemus on täitsa kena, selline pitsiline ja pidulik...
...kuigi mulle meeldib vaskne ikkagi rohkem...

I tried to try another metal color for a change. Quite difficult if I may say. Because I didn't have many findings I needed in brass or gold. I guess this is the reason that a brooch became a cuff :D I had to spend a lot of time with this piece and I had a lot of trouble getting all three memory wire coils to sit nicely.
But I like it, the outcome is nice, delicate and lacy...
... although I must add I like copper colour a lot more...

Sunset Pink

Roosa nagu taevas päikeseloojangul :) Kui sain kätte Tšehhoslovakkia navette ja Prantsusmaa ümmargused roosad kivid, siis näpud hakkasid nii sügelema, et pidin midagi tegema. Alustasin prossiga ennem, kui olin leidnud, et mida üldse sinna keskele panna :) Need valged AB läikelised kivid, mis paistavad nagu oleks suhkruga üle puistatud, on valmistatud Lääne Saksamaal. Jahedamat tooni väikesed matid roosad on swarovskid, ehk siis pärit Austriast. Lilled Hong Kongist, metalljubinaid ja klaashelmeid Tšehhist, metallhelmed Hiinast, prossi nõel Belgiast, pallikett USAst ja kaelakee ripatsi alus Türgist. Niipalju siis ehete geograafiast.
Ja muide, kas on postitustest näha ka, et mul on alganud puhkus :D

Pink as the sky at the sunset :) When I received vintage Czechoslovakia navettes and French round rhinestones I just had to make something out of them! I started making this brooch before I knew what to put in the middle of it :) These white AB stones that look like they're covered with sugar, are made in West Germany. Cooler frosted pink tiny rhinestones are new swarovskies, so they're from Austria. Stamped flowers are from Hong Kong, most findings and beads from Czech, brooch pin from Belgium, ball chain from USA, metal beads from China, some settings from Germany and the base of the necklace pendant is from Turkey. So much about the geography of these pieces.
BTW, does it show that my vacation has started :D

Geography

Käekett lille ja lehtede detailidega. Usun, et seda annab kombineerida mõnede eelmises postituses olevate kõrvarõngastega. Klaaspärlid, lihvitud helmed Tšehhist ning vanad klaasist ehtekivid Prantsusmaalt, lehed USAst ja lilled Hong Kongist.

Bracelet with flower and leaf details. I believe it can be put together with some earrings from the previous post. Glass pearls, faceted beads from Czhech, vintage glass cabochons from France, leaves from USA and flowers from Hong Kong.

Crystal Clear

Läbipaistev kristall/klaas sobib iga värvi riietuse juurde. Samuti naturaalvalged pärlid, antud ehtekomplekti puhul klaaspärlid. Lõpuks õnnestus Ebay oskjonilt saada pakk swarovski 29PP (3,6-3,7mm) crystal ümmargusi ehtekive. Need pole küll vanast ajast, kuid see eest artikkel 1012 - see tähendab rohkem lihvitud tahke ja sätendust!
Kaelakee ripatsi katsin klaashelmeste ja -pärlitega, lisasin ühe lille swarovskiga. Tohutu lihvitud klaashelmes seal all sai käsitsitehtud pärlikübara. Tegin selle nendestsamadest swarovskitest ja metallhelmestest. Käekett on raske, paksult helmestega kaunistatud. Käekett oligi tegelikult see esimene, millele kaelakee ja kõrvarõngad juurde tegin. Müüdud.

Transparent crystal/glass goes with every color outfit. And the same thing is with natural white pearls, glass pearls in this case. I finally managed to win a package of swarovski 29PP (3,6-3,7mm) crystal round rhinestones from an auction on Ebay. These stones are not vintage, but they are article 1012 - which means more facets and more sparkle!
I covered the pendant with glass beads and pearls and added a flower with that little swarovski. That huge faceted glass bead at the bottom of the pendant got itself a handmade beadcap. I made it again from these same swarovskies and metal beads. The bracelet is heavy, loaded with beads. In fact, the bracelet was the first I started with and then made matching necklace and earrings. Sold.
