Vintage Style Grey Jewellery in Progress

I'm inspired by the crisp hues of frost turning everything into quiet sleep. Covering with sparkling ice crystals and muting all the colors. Take a look at the vintage and new materials for next collection.

Vintage faceted silver-colored Czech seed beads, round
transparent Czech beads in warmer shade of grey,
rare nailhead beads with pressed makers mark,
hand faceting and silver finish.

French glass rhinestones, these vintage stones are pressed and
compared to machine cut Swarovski rhinestones look like glowing little lights.

Adding some vintage and new glass pearls all in different shades
of grey. Vintage smooth top round cabochons look like dew drops!

Sparkly machine cut Swarovski in color "Black Diamond" - brand new and crisp.

Playing with contrasts. Different metals - warm copper and cold
silver, hues of grey - warm to cold, transparent versus
opaque, vintage glass and sparkly  high quality Swarovski.

Inspireeritud külmast härmatisest, mis uinutab kõik vaiksesse unne. Kattes kõik jääkristallidega ning muutes kõik värvid jõuetult jahedaks. Siin on valik uusi ja vanu materjale, millest tuleb järgmine ehtekollektsioon.

Emerald Green Rhinestone Jewelry

Emerald green is the color of evergreen and associates with the holidays. I found these small vintage drop shaped glass gems in emerald green. I have only couple of dozens and that means this jewelry is very limited. The green cascading necklace I showed previously and now can be matched with similar earrings, rhinestone bracelet and rhinestone brooch!

Emerald green goes so well together with grey! Here you see
vintage Czech silver colored seed beads, vintage French glass
pearls, vintage green beads from Japan, green glass gems
that are probably from Germany and new Swarovski rhinestones
in "Black Diamond" color

These are so small but have pressed facets on the surface
and gold foiling on the back.

This luxurious looking emerald green rhinestone brooch
has so many details!

There are same motifs used in these
emerald green rhinestone earrings as well as in the brooch and bracelet.

Here is all the set together. The cascading necklace was the first
and the emerald green rhinestone brooch was the last.

The navette shaped glass cabochons in this
emerald green rhinestone bracelet are the same as in the
cascading necklace and rhinestone brooch. The glass stones
have smooth surface.

Emerald Green Necklace in Vintage Style

I just couldn't wait and made this necklace shortly after I got back from New York. I was using the jewellery materials I got from CJS Sales! This necklace is available at mdmButiik.com under the name Emerald Green Cascading Necklace.

The jewellery materials I got from CJS Sales: vintage emerald green
glass stones from Western Germany, vintage grey glass pearls from
Japan, vintage Czech bronze bugle beads and newer grey
and faceted bronze Czech beads.

Siin on roheline kaelakee, mille tegin vahetult pärast New Yorgist tagasi jõudmist. Kasutasin materjale, mis sain CJS Sales laost! Kaelakee on saadaval mdmButiik.com lehel nime all Emerald Green Cascading Necklace.

From the Treasure Hunt: Vintage Beads and Rhinestones

Treasure hunting at CJS Sales was fabulous! I didn't know what to expect but before the trip I did go through all of my rhinestones so I would at least know what I already have. Traveling by plane was the reason I didn't plan to buy any beads and stick to the rhinestones (you may laugh here). In honor of this ridiculous thought I would like to start revealing my treasures from err... beads. Rhinestones come in another post.

Dusty beads on red cotton string, doesn't seem to be much...

When you wipe of the dust you see glossy glass beads. These are
antique hollow glass beads that were used in embroidering
mourning dresses.

Very good quality nailhead beads in square shape. These could be
from French or Czechoslovakia and are probably Victorian.

Bronze Czech FP (firepolished) beads. Not vintage nor rare
but I just couldn't leave them. I use these beads very often
so it was very practical choice.

Vintage bronze seedbeads in tube shape. Like I said
this color is so easy to use in my jewelry.

Vintage sew-on beads from frosted glass. These are actually
settings for rhinestones and I've wanted one of these for so long time!
Lucky me!

Matte olive green glass pearls. Probably new but I got these
because I usually use very classical pearl colors (cream, white
and grey). So this is me pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

OK. I know that these are not beads. These are cabochons and are
so-called half-drilled. It means the hole doesn't go all the way through
and is meant for gluing (for button type earring with earring post).
This color is somehow very familiar...

Now, why would I buy these really rough-looking beads?
First is the color that doesn't turn grey in artificial light and second...
I have a soft spot for Prosser beads. If you want to know
what these are, please read my post about Prosser beads.

Vintage English cut glass beads from Czechoslovakia.
Crystal goes with everything and I love the English cut bead shape!

Vintage glass pearls from Japan. Lovely hues don't you think?
Now I'm thinking I should have taken more of these...

Turquoise green, my love! New seedbeads in tiny size
that I just couldn't pass because I knew I would regret it.

2,5mm Czech glass beads in grey color. Because grey
matches easily with other colors and I love the small size.

Aardejaht CJS Sales laos oli meeliülendav! Ma ei kujutanud eriti ette, mis mind seal ootab. Seetõttu käisin läbi kõik oma ehtekivid, et ma vähemalt teaksin, millised mul juba on. Kuna reis oli lennukiga, siis mõtlesin, et helmeid ei osta ja vaatan ainult ehtekivisid (siin on naeru koht). Tähistamaks seda tobedat otsust, alustasingi saadud aarete näitamist helmestest. Ehtekivid tulevad eraldi postituses.

Väike ülevaade piltide allkirjadest ka eesti keeles: Kaks esimest pilti kujutavad Viktooria ajastu klaashelmeid, mis on seest õõnsad. Õõnsaid helmeid kasutati rõivaste tikkimisel; Samast ajast ja eesmärgil kasutati ka neid ruudukujulisi musti "nailhead" helmeid; Pronksjad lihvitud helmed ei ole vanad ega haruldased, aga on sellised, mida olen juba ehetes kasutanud ja ei saanud lihtsalt käest enam ära panna; Suur viht pronksjaid tuubikujulisi seemnehelmeid on tore leid! Sellised lähevad mul ehetes kindlasti käiku; See beežikas nätsakas pildil on viht matist klaasist tikkimiseks mõeldud "sew-on" helmed ja ma olen neid väga-väga kaua tahtnud. Need on tegelikult klaasist pesad kristallidele; Oliivrohelised matid pärlid on minu katse kasutada pärleid toonides, mis pole minu jaoks tavapärane; Roosad kettakesed pole tegelikult helmed, vaid ehtekivid, millel on auk osaliselt. Nende värv on mulle kahtlaselt tuttav... ; Sirelilillad helmed, üsna robustse välimusega, võlusid mu ära oma värvitooniga (mis tehisvalguses ei muutu) ning sellega, et tegu on Prosser helmestega; Kristallivärvi Tšehhi klaashelmestel on armas "English cut" lihv, pealegi sobib kristall ju kõigi värvidega; Vintage klaaspärlid Jaapanist (minu turvatsooni värvides); Türkiisrohelised tillukesed seemnehelmed, polegi ammu türkiisrohelist kasutanud... ; 2,5mm hallid Tšehhi klaashelmed, sest hall sobib paljude värvidega ja väike suurus lubab kasutada väiksel pinnal.
