PEARL SET - a tribute to Gailavira

This set is a commissioned pieces for a client. She wanted a simple set with pearl.. something simple with no filigrees but with lots of details.

Then I decided to try all of Gailavira's tutorial that I bought sometime ago but did not get a chance to try it.

So here they are..... GAILAVIRA'S CARNIVAL PENDANT

This ear studs is a modification of GAILAVIRA'S ETERNAL SANCTUARY.

And GAILAVIRA'S SENSU RING.....

Look at them ...... they really looked adorable..... =)

I can assure you that my client is one happy customer..... thanks to Gailavira ....

TITANIUM DRUZY - a filigree brooch

Often when I browsed on the internet, titanium druzy were bound in a simple bezel with silver or gold. Or when using wire work, it was only a simple bezel with a few swirls added.

When I saw this titanium druzy I was so amazed by its beauty... then when I put it in my hands, I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to make a brooch with lots of swirls and filigrees. And I deliberately used gun metal colored wire so the titanium druzy can stand out against the dark wire. Wire stitching technique were used for the crystals around the stone.

Once completed, this brooch was more beautiful than what I had visioned ... and I really love it.

It looks so vintage and rich with details... I think this is yet my best piece so far... =)

Thank you so much for looking.....
