New goodies/Mas piedrecitas

This are just a few of the new gemmies I got, rubies, citrine, peridot, aquamarine, amethyst...I just need more hours in a day to be able to make things with them!
I love them, buying gemstones can be a bit addictive.
I´m planning to open an online store to share some of the beauties I buy ;), I hope it can be soon, but it´s quite more time consuming to organize everything!







Estas son algunas de las semipreciosas nuevas, en las fotos hay rubies, citrino, peridotita, aguamarina, amatista...ahora solo necesito mas horas en el dia para poder hacer cosas con ellas!Me encantan y comprarlas puede causar un poco de adicción.
Estoy planeando abrir una tienda online para compartir algunas de estas preciosidades ;), espero que sea pronto, pero requiere mucho tiempo organizar todo!

Long Copper Necklace/Collar largo de cobre

This long copper necklace has mookaite,fossil coral and rhodonite gemstones.It measures 37 inches.

Este largo collar de cobre tiene tres tipos de semipreciosas: mokaita, coral fosil y rodotina .Mide 94 cm.


I´ve just gotten this mookaite and fossil coral beads that are gorgeous!I couldn´t decide with one to use first, so I used them both!
Mookaite is a gemstone that comes from Australia that has a very insteresting color combination; it comes in pink/burgundry/brown/yellow shades.

No sabia si estrenar antes la mokaita o el coral fosil...!Asi que utilice ambos para este diseño!. La mokaita es un jaspe de Australia que tiene una combinacion de colores muy interesante con una mezcla de tonos rosas/marrones/amarillos/granates.

Sorolla´s Light/La Luz de Sorolla

This pair of earrings are hancrafted in several sizes of sterling silver wire and beads and a gorgeous and shinny blue/gray quartz briolette.They are 2" long including the earpost.They are light weight, with 4mm ball ear posts.

In this detail photo I wanted to show the color and brightness of the briolette.


This earrings are inspired by Joaquin Sorolla´s painting "Paseo a la orilla del Mar" (Walk by the seaside) an oil painting from 1909 that can be seen in the Sorolla Museum in Madrid.

I recently got as a gift a book about Sorolla, I´ve always loved his paintings, the way he captures light in his paintings is so unique and breathtaking, you can feel the movement of the scene, it becomes so real.

On this painting I love the contrast of the white clothes aganist the beach.The briolettes I used are exactly the color of the water in his painting and it makes a nice contrast with the bright sterling silver; I wanted to create a design that could be worn by the lady in the painting.

==============================================

Estos pendientes están realizados con varios tamaños de hilo y cuentas de plata de ley y una gota de cuarzo azul-grisaceo, miden unos 5 cm y son muy ligeros.

Están inspirados en el oleo de Sorolla "Paseo a la orilla del Mar", siempre me ha encantado como capta la luz en sus obras, y con esta pieza queria realizar unos pendientes que pudiese llevar la chica que aparece en el cuadro, siendo la gota de cuarzo del color del mar y contrastando con el brillo de la plata.

Pulsera de piedras naturales/Chunky gemstone bracelet

This is a gift for a friend´s birthday; I wanted to make something different, so I made a bracelet using the gemstones she likes (tiger eye, and different types of green jade and jaspers), and added a few more (carnelian, moonstone, adventurine, silver brushed bead...) to blend the colors, combining different shaped and sizes to get an earthy-colored bracelet .All metal components are sterling silver.

Esta pieza la realicé para regalarsela a una amiga; queria hacer algo distinto asi que combine distintos tipos de piedra que le gustan (ojo de tigre, varios tipos de jade y jaspes) y añadí otras piedras (cornalina, piedra de luna, aventurina, cuentas de plata....) para conseguir una gama de colores tierra. Cierre y cuentas de plata de ley.
