Cleopatra returns

Reviving an old design from almost 3 years ago thanks to my friend Sophie who found an archive pic of it on Flickr. My inspiration comes from Cleopatra, the modern day Cleopatra.

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.

Hurry! Be my Valentine...

Simply Toi et Moi...

Three variations of Toi et Moi(french for You and Me), and the other singular golden dot. Toi et Moi comes as 2 rings bind together with a little disc charm.

The newest Toi et Moi comes with a Rose cut clear white genuine diamond. One of my favorite cuts of all time. Here's a little story about Rose cut diamonds: dates all the way back to the early 1500s. The cut resemble the petals of a rose by trying to imitate the narrowing spiral of the petals; hence the name: rose cut diamond.

Thank you for supporting handmade :)
