Trois couleurs : blanc...




Second part of my trilogy of summer colors, here's white : I came across these amazing ice flake crystal quartz nuggets a couple of months ago and I immediately fell in love with these! This stone looks like ice or snow, I don't know, but it is absolutely unique. I combined this crystal quartz with faceted rock crystal, white rabbit jade, AB translucent Swarovski crystals and some carved silver beads to obtain a pure, all-white effect.

My "cristalline" collection is perfect for the summer, paired with white linen clothes and... a margarita in hand ; )

Pretty things...


A few months ago, I was looking at Gennine's blog and I saw that she had carved a doily stamp in a rubber block... This was so pretty that I immediately decided that I needed a doily stamp too!... but there was no way I was going to carve it myself, of course! Searching on Etsy, I found my treasure : a box of cute stamps including 2 doilies, a bird cage, an antique key and some other goodies... I also bought some Japanese washi tape with a brown lace print that I'm now using when I gift wrap my jewelry. This is much prettier than regular tape!


Et voilà!

"Cristalline" earrings - ice flake crystal quartz nuggets and rock crystal faceted coin beads on silver earwires

Here are my "Cristalline" earrings presented on a doily stamped card : )
