 Oh joy!

My bench- my dad made it :)

So many tools... And this is still not everything you can get :P

Those of you who's been following my blog for a while, might see the resemblance to my 2009 CAD exam from Italy.

Firenze 2009

Just some cleaning up, polishing, and putting the pearls in place...
Stay tuned! :)

Slowly getting the stones in place. So much to do, so little time...

WIP!

I <3 it!

These stud earrings with white pearls and shiny stones just stood out and..well.. I'm a sucker for pearls and stones (hence the name of my blog...)

These earrings come in two sizes, these being the large ones. They retail for 249,-, and are silverplated metal, nickel free.
They come in this white pearl, a dark grey/black pearl and a rosy champagne pearl. We unpacked them this morning, and I had one pair (ONE) left in stock when I left work..!
My mother-in-law adored them too, so I'll have to order a whole bunch of new ones tomorrow, because these are flying out of the store (and I want them in every colour for myself as well, haha)

They are called "Carla Vintage Pearl Ear"

But, I finally received my new watch yesterday!
It's a rosegold/ caramel coloured aluminium watch from DKNY, and it's super light weigth. I thought titanium was light, but this is even lighter. It comes in this rosegold one, a gold one and a grey one and retails for 2495,-

I normally don't like the brand DKNY for some reason, but when the DKNY seller showed me this model and especially this colour, I just had to have it.

I told her that for the diamond studs alone she could add a zero and take that number and tripple it. She was stunned. She had no clue about the values that she was carrying around in her little purse. We talked for a while and it turned out her friend was really only interested in the diamonds and maybe, just maybe the pearls. She didn't care for the cameos at all, thinking they were out of fashion.

As ya'll know, I love cameos. In fashion or not, I personally don't give a rats ass, I like them and I wear the ones I have quite often. I have a pendant that is a light pink and white cameo in a gold setting, and I've been on a mission to find matching earrings for...3 years now.. I couldn't for the life of me find any that matched the colour and size of my pendant, for a reasonable price. Not here, not even in Italy.

This lady's cameo earrings were the PERFECT match in colour, size, style etc, so I just had to have them. She said she would have thrown them out when she got back home, so I bought them from her right then and there in my store. She walked out with a big smile and some cash, but I think I had an even bigger smile on my face that day, having finally found my perfect earrings.

I like the fact that they are slightly uneven, that one of the camoes has a flaw on the side and that if you look close the lady dipicted are different in the two earrings.

These are antique (late 1800's) hand carved, real cameos in an hand made gold setting.

The lady told me that she has a few other old cameo pieces around her house that she doesn't ever use, so she promised she'll stop by and show them to me one day soon.

Can't wait! (my poor poor wallet....!)

But, now I have my full workspace in my new house, so I'll be posting alot of new designs!

I'm still waiting on some shelves and stuff for it to be complete and all set up, but I can still create the way it is now :)
