Pink Earrings

Plaan teha sellele komplektile kõrvarõngad lükkus edasi oodatust rohkem. Nüüd on see aga tehtud. Jäin uuesti imetlema neid magusroosasid helmeid ning see, et need on tehtud käsitsi ning igaüks natuke omatpidi lopergune, annab minu silmis nii palju juurde. Ja kuigi on tegu suht õrna värviga, ei lase need helmed ennast segada ka kollasel valgusel. Roosa jääb ikka roosaks. Nagu kaelakees ja käeketis, on ka nendes kõrvarõngstes Swarovski Rose Water Opal ehtekivi ning Tšehhi seemnehelmed.

I was planning to make a pair of earrings for this set but never got the time. Now I've made it. And again I fell for these sweet pink glass beads and the fact that they are handmade and have variations in shape and size even add value to them. Although pink is a soft and delicate color these beads will not lose their beautiful hue even in yellow light. Pink is still pink. There are round Swarovski Rosa Water Opal rhinestones in these earrings as in necklace and bracelet have a pear shaped one. And Czech seedbeads.

Saturday at Vintage Tallinn

Eile, laupäeval, osalesin Vintage Tallinna'l. Olin kohutavalt pabinas ja sellepärast muudkui rääkisin ja rääkisin. No ja millest, eks ikka vatrasin oma ehetest ja ehtekividest. Ma võtsin kolm pakki ehtekive kaasa, et inimestele näidata. Esimest korda kasutasin ka makseterminali, millega oli alguses raskusi. Minu kõrval oli Mona ehted, sealt Elena aitas mind.

Kokkuvõttes jättis üritus positiivse mulje. Väsitav oli, aga eks sellised asjad väsitavad ju alati. Tore oli komplimente ehete kohta saada ning müügi poole pealt jäin omadega plussi. Nüüd saan maksta tellimuse ehtekivide pesadele, mida mul juba kuu algusest saati hädasti vaja.

Aitäh kõigile, kes külastasid ja tulid juttu puhuma!

Yesterday, on Saturday I took part of Vintage Tallinn. I was so nervous I kept talking all 6 hours. About my jewellery and rhinestones ofcourse. I even took 3 vintage rhinestone packages with me to show. Yesterday was the first time for me to use a payment terminal from my bank and didn't know how to use it first. Right next to my selling spot was Mona jewellery and Elena there helped me with it.

Briefly said, it was a positive experience. Tiresome, but thiskind of things tend to be that way. It was nice to hear compliments on my jewellery and when looking at sales I did OK. I can now pay for the order of rhinestone settings that I really needed already in the beginning of this month.

Thank you all who visited and came to have a chat!

New attempt

Laadisin fotoka aku, paigutasin valge paberi ja kõrvarõngad aknalauale ning jäin varitsema kõige heledamat hetke. Pildid tehtud päevavalguses (päike pilve taga), kuna statiivi pole, siis kasutasin plastkarbikest ning tegin pisut heledamaks pilditöötlusega (whitepoint, gamma, contrast).

Aga tegelikult on need kõrvarõngad suht väikesed, diameeter 1,8cm.

I recharged my camera battery, arranged the set with white paper and earrings and waited for the brightest moment. These photos were made in daylight (sun behind the clouds), since I don't have a tripod I used small plastic box to support the camera and made them a bit brighter on computer (whitepoint, gamma, contrast).

Actually these earrings are quite small, 1,8cm in diameter.

When the brightest time of the day is not enough...

Kui päeva kõige valgem hetk pole piisav fotode tegemiseks, siis tuleb appi võtta tehisvalgus.
Kuna osalen seekordsel Vintage Tallinn vol.5, siis plaanisin teha spetsiaalselt ühe uue seeria kõrvarõngaid. Et oleks miskit värsket pakkuda. Aga jäin jänni pildistamisega... Kõrvarõngastes on ehtekive, helmeid/pärleid ja seemnehelmeid. Päevavalguses tegin pilte ning ükski ehtekivi ei säranud. Nagu neid polekski seal :( Nii ma siis proovisin täna seda teist varianti.

Toon mõned näited fotodena. Vasakul fotod päevavalgusega ning paremal tehisvalgusega. Ja just kõrvarõngad selliste ehtekividega, millel on eriviimistlused, sest need on alati trikikad. Kartsin, et tehisvalgus moonutab helmeste ja kristallide värvi. Seda õnneks ei juhtunud. Kuid... metall on kuidagi rohkem pronks kui vask... Kuid kumb antud variantidest on siis parem?

Siin on kasutatud Preciosa ehtekive Sahara, mis otsevaates on hallikassinised, küljelt aga kuumavad rohelised, oranzikate sähvatustega.
Here are Preciosa Sahara stones used. They are greyish blue viewing from the front, but throw bright green and even orange flashes.


Siin on Preciosa Vitrail Medium kristallid, nende värvigamma on nagu arbuusil - rohekad ja roosad.
Here are Preciosa Vitrail Medium crystals that have a watermelon colors - green and pink.

Need kõrvarõngad on Swarovski White Opal Star Shine kividega, mille mahedat beebisinist värvust elavdab soe kollane kuma.
This pair of earrings features Swarovski White Opal Star Shine crystals with baby blue and warm yellow shine.

When brightest time of the day is not enough for photographing, it's time for using artificial light.
Since I take part from Vintage Tallinn vol.5 I planned to make a brand new series of earrings . So I could offer something new. But I got stuck with photographing... These earrings have rhinestones, beads/pearls and seedbeads. Photos made in daylight didn't show almost any sparkle from the rhinestones. Like there wasn't any :( So today I tried the other way.

Here are some photo samples. On the left with photos made in daylight and on the right with photos made in artificial light. I chose those earrings that have rhinestones with special effects because these are always trickier to capture. I was afraid that artificial light will change the color of beads and crystals. Fortunately it didn't happen. But... metal parts look like they were bronze instead of copper... So which option here is better way to go?
