Newbies for the week!

Here are some pictures of a few new pieces I've created this week!

Vermeil yellow gold

Hooray to warmth and blue sky! Only 19 more days before Spring is official here, and the weather is certainly warming up in Paris.

So, I thought I'd add a little "warmth" into some of my existing pieces by having them plated in yellow gold –18 karat gold (3-3.5 micron thick on solid silver).

I'm indeed warming up to these ;)

Work in progress for a new collection

It has taken me almost 2 years to sink my hands into creating new one of a kind pieces for a collection. They're made or will be made specifically with antique mother of pearl(MOP) game tokens that look like coins, found from my many trips to bric-a-brac/antique markets around Paris. They all come with patterns that were hand carved lightly on the surface for decorative purposes – mostly of motifs derived from nature such like flowers, birds etc. I hope not too tear away too much of it's charm but instead putting them in a much treasured context which we can carry around with us as body adornments to boot!

Here's a pic of the actual token and the first pair of earrings I'd made out of them. I hope to oxidise the silver when the whole collection is finalised.
