Jewelry Designs Meanings and Friendship…

Malibu - Zuma

– Point Dume –

Point Dume is a promontory on the coast of Malibu, California that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The point, a long bluff, forms the northern end of the Santa Monica Bay. Wikipedia

I designed this necklace for Erika Kind as token of our friendship. If you followed our recent posts you know that we met (read my post) in person last Friday here in California it was a great experience. Each piece of Jewelry I design has a story behind it. This one symbolize the beginning of our friendship relate to one of our first conversations that we had when we met, and it was about how much Erika love California, the Ocean and the Beach she said that she love “Point Dume” which happen to be a wonderful place in Malibu where I go often and I love to take beautiful photos like this one of the beach where Point Dume promontory is. This is one of the places where I find precious natural elements like fragments of fossil seashells, stones, driftwood all elements gifted from nature that I treasure and collect for my unique jewelry designs.

The necklace created for Erika has all the elements to symbolize what she love, it represent the Ocean with the natural beauty of a fragment of a Fossil Seashell,  a Pearl and her favorite Turquoise stone, the blue color of the stone symbolize the sky and the ocean  water,  all the elements are wired together creating a keepsake memories pendant with an adjustable leather cord. This is an example of the concept I work with, to create one of a kind Jewelry. I am very happy that Erika love the necklace very much at the point that when I gave to her she got emotional, that was my greatest gift to see the reaction she had it means I made it through her heart giving her happiness and joy…this is one of the reason why I love my work!

When a Sketch turn Alive…

Rose Quartz mpearl earrings2_A

“AMONG NATURE” Jewelry Collection 2015
Jewelry Inspired by Nature

During the past days I have been thinking a variety of Artistic projects ideas and new experiments!
Today I like to share a Design that I created few months ago. I love the whole process to create a new design, from the starting idea, to the sketches, to the end. Every design it is a new challenge that I like to address at the best of my ability. Most of my designs are created with a combination of natural gemstones, metals, leather and more found natural elements. This way all my creations allow the possibility to combine and stack multiple jewels together.

This is my sketch that inspired a half heart shaped earrings, the wire has been forged and hammered to shape perfectly to my drawing. I used a round faceted Pink Quartz stone and a round Mother of Pearl bead and silver.

Silver wire
Silver or Copper wire are some of my usual metals to work with.

“LOVE” – Rose Quartz is a natural gemstone known as the Love Stone…

this beautiful crystal has natural healing power and emits strong vibrations of unconditional love. The energy that emits clear and purifies, opening the heart to promote love in any situations. Wearing jewelry with rose quartz helps you to feel self-worth love, is calming and relaxing and protect from negativity….

I like Rose Quartz stones the lovely pale pink color and the translucent transparency inspire my designs creating  jewelry that’s connects with the beautiful natural energy and vibrations of this stone.

This design was custom ordered from my client to match with this heart necklace I previously made for her, as you can see the idea of a half heart is a great match with this pendant.

Peace

PEACE

a precious word I have been thought
from the day I was born

a word made of many words
a word made of many colors
a word made of many thoughts

a word to be shared

a word that rhyme with love
and acceptance

find harmony inside yourself
to walk peacefully during your life path
with enlightenment

love yourself to love one another
open your mind to freedom
and mantain it possible in this world.

A Forest….The Cure song… and my Digital Art

Oaks
The Cure is one of my favorite bands from the past years. I love their dark sounds the best. My all time favorite Albums are “Seventy Seconds” and “Faith” today I am sharing with you my Digital Art – Oaks created from one of my Photos and  I think it is a good match with The Cure song “A Forest” I found two great videos as two different and beautiful versions of this loved song  I am going to share it with you  In hope that you like them. I suggest you to listen both because the sound is different and both are great!

The Cure would be in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl for 3 days in May it would be the first US full-fledged tour in eight years and I truly would love to go to see them. Tickets are almost already sold out…but maybe I would be lucky if Robert Smith read this post and send me one… ;-) just kidding…lol  I am really looking to find some available and is not easy! <3
