- Description
"Inspired of the calmness of the northern seafront and the sharp rocks that ascend from the coastline. Versatile and yet simple in its essence. Rhinestones with calm colors and incisive facets are softened by beautiful pearls, reminding the forgotten magic of the fairytales, glorious days that once left the humankind..."
This is my contest piece to the Sea themed competition. I used many bead caps and filigree plates. All metal findings are copper plated base metal. I assembled rhinestone headpins and rondelles from settings, wire and rhinestones.

- Description
Morion is the color that I searched for a long time on eBay. I had to see it with my own eyes because from the photos it looked sometimes grey and sometimes blue. I was thrilled I got these 8x3mm navettes but I was a bit worried of the fact that my settings were for navettes in size 8x4mm, but I managed to fit them anyway.
So this is the brooch with morion navettes and crystal rhinestone core. I made the brooch motif with a single piece of wire. The brooch is a bit domed and a bit flexible (I didn't have a suitable stamped filigree plate that I usually put behind the motif).
I love the color, it's the color of the midnight sky :)

- Description
These earrings were inspired by those tiny cherry red rhinestones! I added glass turquoise navettes and vintage hand faceted drops. I weaved navettes, round rhinestones and little metal beads with thin wire. It was difficult to attach it to the stamped filligree, because the motif has 5 petals and stamped filligree had 8
After many attempts I succeeded. The long drops are half drilled, I received them with silverplated caps that were glued on top. I removed the glue and caps and then glued a piece of copper plated wire to the hole with bead cap for security.The other versions are basically the same thing, only without the drops. Yellow one has vintage Moonstone (Western Germany) navettes and crystal and yellow opal swarovski rhinestones and the Garnet Earrings have metal roses in the center. Roses are made of different types of bead caps.

I used swarovski and also other glass rhinestones to make these brooches. IMHO is that if there's glass stones/beads accompaning swarovski then swarovskies being in the main role can shine more :) The glass rhinestones (yellow-white navettes and pink silky pears) in these brooches are vintage. The big (47ss) yellow stone in yellow brooch is also swarovski stone and the color is yellow opal. I got it in original package and it looks different (no swan image but kind of a flower shape and letters).
These brooches measures 3,5cm.
