Vintage Style Jewelry in Progress

Sometimes the best and worst thing is the same. Making an ordered piece that will be a gift. The person who ordered doesn't know what it should look like or what color it could be... Working out the color scheme can be pretty tricky, considering I have never seen the person who receives it. It's scary not knowing what colors to use but quite interesting as well. It's like a detective work, asking questions that reveals what way to go.

I like that these handmade lamp-worked beads
are not too bright nor dark red.

It has speckles of aventurine that shimmers like fools gold.

Trying to figure out what bronze colored seed beads to use...

Mõnikord on kõige hirmutavam ja põnevam asi üks ja see sama. Hakkan tegema tellitud ehet, mis läheb kingituseks. Tellija ei tea, millist ehet tahab ja isegi mitte värvi... Värvigamma valimine võib osutuda päris keeruliseks, sest ise pole selle kingituse kandjat isegi kaugelt mitte näinud. Natuke hirmus on tööga alustada aga samas ka väga põnev. See on natuke nagu detektiivi töö, küsimuste abil välja selgitada, mis suunas liikuda.

Antique Prosser Beads

Here are more photos of the Prosser bead boxes. These are already falling apart but I'm always thrilled when I get the beads in original state! To read more about these beads you can go and click my post Discovering Glass vol.7 - Prosser Beads and Bead Revolution.

These boxes contain beads in pink and Lucite green (or turquoise) color. Lucite green is already my favorite, I got the same colored beads earlier loose in a plastic bag and I've made a Lucite Green collection with these. I also had some pink beads as well when I made Pale Pink Bracelet and Earrings. Now I have this color in 5mm too!

Color code 7228 stands for pink and 7234 for Lucite green,
00 is for size (read about Kernel number and French Line)
and 5000 for amount.

The beads are pushing through the corners...

I had 6mm beads before in this color. Then I got 4mm and now
5mm. Thinking that this might be my next material to work with!

Siin on rohkem pilte nendest Porsser helmestega karpidest.Need pole kõige paremas olukorras, aga helmed originaalpakendis on alati rõõmustav! Kui tahad lugeda rohkem nendest helmestest, siis kliki postitust Discovering Glass vol.7 - Prosser Beads and Bead Revolution. 

Need karbid sisaldavad helmeid heleroosa ja "Lucite" rohelistes (türkiisroheline) värvides. "Lucite green" on mul juba lemmik, kui varem sain helmeid samas värvis ja tegin neist kollektsiooni Lucite Green collection. Samuti oli mul varem heleroosasid helmeid, millest tegin komplektina kantavad käeketi ja kõrvarõngad. Nüüd on mul seda värvi ka 5mm suuruses!

Custom Made Pearl Brooch with Pink

I'm very happy how this brooch turned out. It has four pink moonstone glass cabochons that has light shifting. In the middle of the brooch there is a baroque hollow glass pearl and more antique ones (round and rice-shaped). Added some tiny mercury beads as well!

Olen väga rahul sellega, kuidas see pross välja tuli. Sellel on neli roosat kuukivi klaasist kivi, mis helgivad valgust. Prossi keskel on antiikne õõnes klaapärl, millel on barokne pind ning ümberringi on veel õõnsaid pärleid (ümmargused ja riisikujulised). Lisasin tillukesi mercury helmed ka!

Custom Order for Vintage Style Brooch

I got this order for custom made brooch. It should have similar design to the Saphire Blue Brooch I made previously but with light pearls and a bit of pink. Custom orders are so exciting!

I started with picking out the materials for the brooch. I have antique hollow glass pearls also in this thin rice-shape. Maybe this project is perfect for these. And I also found a package of vintage glass stones made from moonstone glass and this really cute pink color.

Sain tellimuse prossile. See peaks olema disainilt sarnane varem tehtud Safiirsinise Prossile ainult, et selles peaks olema rohkem heledaid pärleid ja natuke roosat. Tellimustööd on nii põnevad!

Iga tellimustöö saab alguse materjalide valikust. Mul on antiikseid õõnsaid klaaspärleid ka sellise peenikeste riisikujulistena. Võibolla on see töö just neile sobiv. Samuti leidsin paki vintage klaaskive kuukiviklaasist, millel on tõsiselt armas roosa värv.

Treasure Hunt: French Prosser Beads

Hello again! I'm showing one of the finds in my treasure hunt - and hope you can feel the excitement when I made these photos :P

Parcel from France

Peeling off the paper...

Cardboard box reveals tissue paper

Lots of tissue paper carefully wrapped
around the treasure.

Unwrapping the tissue paper you can see
plastic bags with boxes

These are Prosser beads in their original boxes.
Boxes are falling apart and beads are pushing through
the the corners where the cardboard is worn thin.

Tere taas! Siin on näha ühe mu aardejahi tulemus - loodan, et pildid suudavad edasi anda seda põnevust, mis mul oli, kui neid pilte tegin :P
